Testimonials

“Katy is an absolute joy to work with, and one of the friendliest and most appreciative travel bloggers we’ve organised press trips for. We worked with Katy on a family holiday to the Isles of Scilly for our client Isles of Scilly Travel and were delighted with Katy’s creative content and hugely engaging blog posts and social media.  Her main travel feature was so well written and captured the family-friendly appeal of the islands so well that we requested to use it as a full-length feature in the company’s on-board travel publication, S Magazine for passengers to enjoy. We went on to organise a family-focused break in St Ives for Katy to help promote the Cornish seaside destination for seasonal breaks and were again over the moon with both the quality and quantity of social media posts and blogs Katy produced – all of them correctly tagging businesses and brands and all of them very much on message for our client”

Mary O’Leary, Account Director, DCA Public Relations

“We have worked with Katy at Otis and Us on a couple of trips to Italy over recent years. Both were group trips involving up to a dozen bloggers. On both occasions, Katy put together timely, honest and well written articles about her stay and the area as well as reviewing the property in which she was staying in courtesy of Bookings For You. She also worked well with fellow bloggers to ensure that the visibility of all posts reached as wide an audience as possible showing a really open, collaborative approach on her part. It has been a pleasure to work with Katy and to read her engaging, well presented posts.”

Jo Mackay, Bookings For You

We’ve worked with Katy on a few occasions on various campaigns as she always goes above and beyond and we love the content she produces. Her family fit our brand perfectly with their love of exploring and the great outdoors. Katy has excellent engagement on her Instagram posts and her blogs have always included lots more than what we have asked for, adding real value to the content she produces. She’s a great communicator and we will definitely be working with Katy again in the future.

➡️do you pack a duvet?
➡️ or a sleeping bag?

We always pack sleeping bags for the kids in the #poptop roof and then a duvet for the bed. 

@finebeddingco have sent us this gorgeous Night Owl coverless duvet to try and it seems perfect for both home and travel. 

No more faffing with putting the bedding on in a small space and it can be washed in the washing machine, oh and dries in less than 90 - 120 minutes. Perfect for vanlife. It also comes in a handy drawstring bag so packs really well. I’ve added some photos on my stories. It’s a winner.

How many of us all are guilty of taking a million photos and not actually having them printed?

Yep - I am ✋ 

This has to be my most favourite photo from our road trip the year before last. It’s the one of us enjoying the sunset on the beach at La Paz - our last stop on our summer road trip. It had rained all day and we had been playing games in the camper, it stopped raining and we quickly headed to the beach to view the most spectacular sunset and watch the surfers.

I have recently had it framed with @my_picture_co_uk  and it’s just beautiful. Reminds me of throwing out the routine and chasing the sun.

Tonight I wanted to tell you about a wonderful campaign by @whsmithofficial and I’m honoured to have been asked to be a part of it. 

Their aim is to encourage people to try something new throughout 2021. @whsmithofficial have some wonderful products to help you plan your trips (products linked in stories).
 
I would really love you to join me on Friday at 6pm over on the @whsmithofficial account, chatting about why we love vanlife, our favourite road trips, and what vanlife means for us. Believe it or not before we purchased our camper, we had never camped before! 
 
If you have any questions for me, I would love you to send them my way via my stories and I will do my best to answer them on Friday. 
 
Look forward to seeing you over on the @whsmithofficial Instagram on Friday at 6pm!

I know so many are finding it all a bit ‘meh’ at the moment.

Last week I chatted to the lovely Jenny @travelynn Last week I chatted to the lovely Jenny @travelynnfamily as part of her bongo convo series.

Did you catch it?

I think it is the first time I’ve ever chatted on a live, or chatted in front of a camera even 😆

Anyway I just wanted to say thank you  so much for all the messages and lovely comments after the live. I’ve had a few vanlife questions too so I will pop them in my stories for you.

Thank you  Jenny for inviting me to take part in your new live travel chat. Chatting about Van life and road trips .... It definitely made my soul smile :)
🏕Sunday share is back 🏕 My next campsite to 🏕Sunday share is back 🏕

My next campsite to share is a really lovely campsite in Llangollen. We were introduced to this lovely site by my beautiful friend @a_girl_on_the_crescent 

Abbey Farm Campsite

@abbeyfarmllangollen is a working farm set just outside the beautiful town of Llangollen in North Wales.

Suitable  for camping, touring caravans and motor homes and camping pods available.  There are three self-catering cottages to rent and also a static caravan site.

The camping fields are set next to the ruins of Valle Crusis Abbey, and what we loved the most - there is a small brook that runs across the bottom of the field that the kids absolutely loved.

Facilities

Hot showers/ toilets
Laundry room
Bistro/bar
Shop
Electric Hook Up
Dogs Welcome 

What we loved 💕

⭐️Family campsite 
⭐️The brook provided hours of fun
⭐️Picturesque Llangollen a walk away 
⭐️Beautiful location with lots of space and walks
⭐️An ideal base to explore North Wales 

Definitely one to bookmark 

🏡For now the message is to stay at home, but my Sunday share is to inspire and introduce you to new campsites for when the time is right xx
