From Iceland to South Africa: Read Our Blog Posts for Conversational Traveler

Earlier this year, in the deep dark days of lockdown, we were approached by boutique New York travel agency Conversational Traveler to contribute to their Monday with M blog. They wanted us to write a series of inspiring travel blogs on destinations across the US and around the world. Naturally, we jumped at the chance: if we were going to be stuck at home, at least we could imagine we were on the open road (and help others do the same).

Over the next six months, as restrictions slowly eased, we produced a number of blog articles for Conversational Traveler, on destinations ranging from Iceland to Greece to South Africa. We have included extracts from a few of these articles below – simply scroll down to read the snippet, or click for the full piece on the Mondays by M blog.

Our Travels: San Francisco, USA

Great travel content writing isn’t a matter of sitting a desk and dreaming of far-flung places. It is about experience. Our intrepid team of writers and editors are always on the move, discovering new and exciting places all over the world. It’s this persistent wanderlust that makes our travel content so authentic, evocative and, crucially, effective.

We’re always striving to seek out less-visited idylls like far-flung Easter Island, out-of-the-way Lewis and Harris and the tourist-light Gili Islands, as well as ticking off huge bucket list destinations like romantic Venice, sky-high Dubai and buzzing Bangkok. And that’s only the beginning – you’ll find lots more in the Our Travels blog series archive.

This month, it’s the turn of World Words writer Jemima to reflect on one of her recent travel adventures. Scroll on to read all about her 2019 vacation in San Francisco, including a mini road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway…

Our Travels: Alaska, United States

The writers and and editors who make up the World Words team are regular and enthusiastic travellers. You could say their passion for exploring our incredible planet is insatiable. It is this first-hand knowledge and on-the-ground experience which is infused into all their writing. When we aren’t busy crafting travel content for our clients, we’re on the road making travel tales of our own. And this blog series – Our Travels – is where we share them with you.

So far in this series, we’ve covered destinations as varied as Japan, Iceland and Oman. This month, it’s the turn of staff content writer Samantha Wilson, who heads off to meet brown bears and orca on a trip of a lifetime to Alaska.
