Let's Work Together
We connect travel brands with an audience that's actively planning their next adventure, not just scrolling past.
- 10,000+ Instagram followers and growing across 8 platforms
- SEO content that ranks and stays visible long after campaigns end
- Rates published up front, so you know before you ask
We don't just have an audience
We have an audience that actually travels.
Reach that converts
An engaged travel audience actively planning real trips. They bookmark, share, and click through to book. This isn't passive scroll traffic, it's intent-driven.
SEO longevity
Sponsored blog posts live on Google long after the campaign ends. We write content that ranks, which means ongoing visibility for your brand, not a 48-hour spike.
One brief, eight platforms
Every partnership gets pushed across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads and the rest. You brief it once and it lands in several places, each with its own audience.
Where we reach them
Eight live channels. Some are big, some are still growing, and we'd rather tell you which is which than round everything up.
Demographics based on platform insights and analytics. Updated September 2026.

Good to know: we don't sell followed links. Paid placements carry rel="sponsored" because that's what Google's own documentation asks for. It protects your site as much as ours, and anyone offering you the opposite is selling you a risk.
Have you left enough time?
Put in the date you want it live and we'll work backwards. Two to four weeks is the realistic minimum for anything written.
How it actually works
Five steps, the same every time, big campaign or a single story set.
You get in touch
Form or email, with a rough idea of what you want and when. We reply within 48 hours, including the ones where we say no.
We agree scope and price
One short call or a couple of emails. You get a fixed quote, an exact list of what you'll receive, and the dates in writing.
We make the thing
You send product, access or a brief. We write, shoot and edit. No stock photos pretending to be us.
You see it before anyone else
Proof by email with one round of amends included. Facts and claims get corrected. Opinions stay ours, which is the bit that makes it worth reading.
It goes live and gets pushed
Published, disclosed, cross-posted. Figures 30 days later so you can see what it did rather than guess.
Reality check: we're one person and a camera, not an agency floor. That's why the work sounds like a person wrote it, and also why we can't turn a full destination feature round in four days.
Things we turn down
Not a power move. It's just quicker if you know now.
How we handle disclosure
Brands carry the legal risk when a creator labels things badly, so it's worth knowing how we do it.
Tinker's Tip: the ASA advises against using the word "sponsored" as a social media ad label, since people read it too many different ways. We use "Ad" or "Paid partnership" up front on social, and a plain statement at the top of any paid article. Vague labels like "collab" or just tagging the brand don't count.
Paid, gifted, affiliate, discount codes, our own products: all of it is advertising under the CAP Code and all of it gets labelled. On the site, paid links carry rel="sponsored" per Google's guidance on qualifying outbound links. Our full position is in the editorial guidelines and AI policy and the affiliate disclosure, both public and both linked in the footer of every page.

Where your content would live
Read a few of these before you brief us. It's the fastest way to tell if the tone fits your brand.
Money saver: a sponsored post placed inside a hub that already ranks does more than a standalone page nobody links to. Tell us the search terms you care about and we'll suggest where it should sit, including which existing guides can point at it.

Testimonials
"We approached The Travel Tinker to help promote our region to a UK travel audience and honestly, the results exceeded what we expected. The article they produced ranked on Google within weeks and the Instagram content felt genuinely authentic, not like a paid post, which is exactly what you want. They were easy to work with, met every deadline, and the enquiries we saw from their audience were from people who were actually ready to travel. We'll be working with them again."
"We partnered with The Travel Tinker for a product feature campaign and what stood out was how naturally they integrated our brand into content their audience already trusted. No awkward plugs, no generic shots, just real, useful content that happened to include our product. The engagement on the Instagram post alone was well above what we'd seen from similar-sized accounts. Worth every penny and then some."
