Blog Focus Areas
Emily Luxton Travels is one of the UK’s leading travel blogs, focusing largely on solo female travel, adventure, overland travel, food, and fun! The blog has won numerous awards over the years – including Wanderlust Magazine’s Travel Blog of the Year.
Topics and trip styles are diverse, but the main theme overall is on solo female travel and “soft” adventure: think outdoorsy activities, road trips, experiential travel, and trying new things.
Solo Female Travel: Exploring the world alone, facing fears, and examining the way that travel changes us.
Targeting independent, child-free women aged 30+ with disposable incomes. These are money-smart, savvy women (not budget travellers) who have money to spend on bucket-list experiences and occasional luxury.
Overland Travel: Train trips, road trips, river cruises, etc.
Deep Travel: Cultural experiences and intelligent travel focusing on true understanding. Getting “off the beaten path” to see beyond the tourist hotspots and seek out more authentic experiences.
Food tourism: Exploring new cultures through food. Authentic experiences and eating ‘like a local’.
“Soft” Adventure: Hiking, biking, outdoor activities, road trips, camping, glamping, trying new things, learning new skills – and maybe the occasional extreme sport!

I can cover a range of styles and tones, from location-based articles and travel narratives, to general tips and travel guides, or lighthearted listicles.

On occasion, I partner up with great travel brands and businesses that I feel truly fit my blog and audience. I offer thorough and honest reviews for all travel-related products and services.
If you have a product, brand, or business that you would like me to review, please get in touch. Everything will be shared and promoted across social media, too – reaching an audience of over 66,000 followers.
I’ve worked with some top brands, among them Eurostar, Thalys, Warwick Hotels, Barbour International, and many others, and have a great deal of experience in writing engaging and honest reviews.

Testimonials
“From our first contact with Emily, her approach was professional, flexible and responsive. During her four-night stay in 1066 Country, she was 100% committed to her task of showcasing her busy itinerary and in fact over delivered on the amount of social media collateral she created. She provided good follow up too with provision of the results from her posts. We’d thoroughly recommend working with Emily and if we get the chance, would repeat without hesitation!” Jane Ellis, Tourism Marketing Officer, 1066 Country, Sussex
