From Rome to Lapland – Here’s what we’ve been up to lately

Each month, we jot down a personal wrap of our travels, life updates, and general happenings in the life of The Common Wanderer. No bullshit, just our honest thoughts. It’s been quite a while since we last did a wrap up on here (about 5 months!), and it’s safe to say that life has been so busy it’s borderline insane lately! In fact, sometimes when we look back at what’s been happening since our last update, our head spins and we need to lie down for a while. There’s been lots of travel (despite “slowing down”), and some pretty massive life changes for us both. Here’s exactly what’s been happening in the world of The Common Wanderer lately… FROM ROME TO LAPLAND AND BEYOND – HERE’S OUR OCTOBER 2017 UPDATE WE MOVED HOUSE When we first arrived in London, we moved into a sweet terrace house overlooking a park in Surrey Quays. The room was beautiful and h-u-g-e (even taking London’s shoebox standards into consideration!), but there just wasn’t much happening in the area. No nightlife, no good restaurants, and not even a cute cafe down the street to grab a coffee from on the weekend. Obviously, this isn’t the kind of expat experience we were after, so we’ve now made the brave decision to go where no Aussies before us have ever gone (lol jk – it’s the only accent we ever hear now) and moved to Clapham in South West London. We’re in a bright, light, ground floor apartment with one other housemate, and slowly feeding our addiction for indoor plants and IKEA furniture, and cool homewares that we really don’t need. MIM WENT FREELANCE AND MARK STARTED A NEW JOB When we arrived in London in September 2016, I (Mim) started managing Content for a well-known global travel brand just 4 days later, while Mark managed the blog and our business full time. Since then, I’d been balancing a double life: weekdays at an extremely busy 9-5, and evenings, weekends, annual leave, and any other random snatched moments working on our freelance projects. If that sounds exhausting, well, it was. Eventually, running between the two became too much and quite frankly, I was burnt out. Meanwhile, Mark recently started working for an amazing travel brand, so we decided to change things up a little. With my professional experience as a writer, the blog growing pretty quickly, and an increasing number of opportunities coming our way, we decided it would be better for me to focus solely on growing our freelance business moving forward. It’s been 4 weeks now and I have to say, I am loving working on our business from the comfort of home. Ps. if you’re reading this and have a business in need of some help in the word-and-picture department, well, holla at ya girl! WE CELEBRATED A YEAR OF LIVING IN LONDON On August 30, we celebrated an entire year of the expat life here in London. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long since we first stepped off the plane at Heathrow, bleary-eyed (it was 7am!) and excited for a new adventure. In many ways, it feels like we’ve only just arrived. In 12 months we’ve lived in 3 houses, survived an English winter (and an English “summer”), complained about the weather daily, gained two jobs and quit one, travelled to 8 countries, been squashed against the tube doors 348209348 times, enjoyed some major blog wins, feasted on many a grand pub meal (but never an English ale), and most importantly: landed amongst an incredible group of people we’re privileged to call our family and friends. It’s certainly been a ride! READ MORE: HOW WE SAVED TO TRAVEL THE WORLD, AND YOU CAN TOO WHERE WE’VE BEEN TRAVELLING TO LATELY The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind of travel for us both (so much for slowing down!). Here are some of the places we’ve been wandering to: BUCHAREST, ROMANIA Back in May, we spent some time in Bucharest for the Experience Bucharest project and absolutely loved it. We really didn’t know what to expect from Bucharest (or Romania more generally) prior to going, nor had this part of the world ever really factored onto our ‘future destinations’ list. Turns out, we’d really been missing out on one of Europe’s trendiest and most fascinating cities. Touted as the ‘new Berlin’ for its hipster vibes and grungy feel, Bucharest is cool. Really cool. We spent our days getting better acquainted with its heady mix of charm and decay, latin spirit and Balkan passion, great food and brilliant coffee, and can’t wait to return again someday. ATHENS, GREECE From Bucharest, we jumped on a flight to visit Mark’s granddad who lives in Athens. Now, Mark has been to Athens more times in his lifetime than he can probably count and he doesn’t rate it too highly (read: he hates it). But I’ve never been, and I had really high hopes for this ancient city that cradled the birth of modern ideals. I really wanted to be able to love Athens. To see past its recent economic woes. Or at the minimum, just to find a way to prove Mark wrong. But the truth is, I just didn’t. There were riots every day we were there, the ruins were terribly maintained, and basically, we just didn’t get a good vibe from being there. That said, being able to spend time with Mark’s Opa (aka the coolest 90-year-old you will ever meet) was extremely special, for us both. MENORCA, SPAIN After a mad rush back to London and one night to repack our bags, we found ourselves on another plane, this time bound for the Spanish island of Menorca. This was our first jaunt to the Balaeric islands, and we were there with 50 other top UK influencers for the #MustSeeMenorca Mini-Conference and press trip. If you haven’t been to Menorca yet, we suggest you book that trip pretty quickly. It’s absolutely stunning, far less tourist-trodden than its neighbours Ibiza and Mallorca, full of charming cobblestoned streets, and outdoor activities for everyone. And the food and wine? Ridiculously good. Honestly, we loved this little Mediterranean gem so much that we’ve been looking at island property prices ever since… SANTANDER, SPAIN Spain seems to be the flavour of our 2018, because next on the list was a weekend in Santander – although Mark flew solo for this one! Cantabria’s capital isn’t about impressing you on a first glance. It doesn’t have the old-world charm of other Spanish cities (much of the old town burnt down in 1941), but the coastal town definitely makes up for it in character, natural beauty, and tasty, tasty tapas. Mark can also lay claim to being the first blogger to walk through the halls of the newly opened Centro Botin art gallery, having visited on the opening weekend! Designed by the same architect who created Paris’ Centre Pompidou, the gallery is a masterpiece both inside and out. PORTUGAL, SPAIN, MOROCCO WITH INTREPID TRAVEL Another trip, another solo adventure for Mark. This time, he doubled as talent for a new video of Intrepid’s Spain, Portugal and Morocco tour, as well as the photographer and social guy. For two weeks, he feasted on all the delicious tapas, tagines, and churros, danced with locals in Lisbon, and explored the winding alleys of the Moroccan medinas – all while documenting it all on his camera! See everything they got up in this awesome video, produced by the legends at Betty Wants In ROME, ITALY Mark’s third solo trip this summer (I’m definitely overdue some travels!), a quick jaunt to Rome to catch up with a friend from home. This was a rare opportunity to be a real tourist for the first time in a long time. In an effort to see Rome without the tourists, Mark and his mate Ryan would be up before the crack of dawn each day, exploring the beautiful ancient streets as they awoke for the day ahead. Afternoons were for siesta time, while evenings were spent eating great food and enjoying a few too many beers. The perfect break before returning to full-time work again! 2018 TRAVEL INSPO: OUR PICK OF DESTINATIONS TO VISIT IN 2018 SWEDISH LAPLAND Lapland had been sitting at the top of our bucket list for a looooooooong time. We’d almost come to view it as the holy grail of our travel and blogging lives; a wintry wonderland, raw and untamed wilderness, and a way of life so extremely different to our own upbringing. Sprinkle in some reindeer herds and the northern lights, and you basically have our ultimate trip. So when our inbox pinged with an opportunity to spend a week exploring Swedish Lapland in Autumn with Visit Sweden, my fingers could barely type a frantic ‘check email check emaiiil CHECK EMAIL’ message to Mark from sheer excitement. In early October, we spent a week exploring the region, going hiking, foraging, fatbiking, and getting to know the local culture – under Autumn skies and surrounded by crisp forest air. And you know what? This is one place that totally lived up to the hype. It was utter magic, and we’re absolutely keen to go back in Winter, Spring, and Summer to find out what it’s like then too. We’ve got a whole lot of posts almost ready to go live, so watch this space! And that’s a wrap! We plan to start doing these more regularly, and they’ll be full of all the good, bad, ugly and otherwise happenings of our travels (and lives) – so watch this space this time next month.

Becoming an influencer: Notes from a fledgling tour blogger

Marion Payen is the founder and editor-in-leader of Hibiscus and Nomad, a famous on-line travel weblog.

With over 29,000 Instagram followers and 1,500 blog visits in step with month, she knows an issue or two about influencer marketing.

I latterly stuck up with Marion (even as she changed into on a jealousy-inducing journey to Guatemala) to discover how she has generated the sort of massive following, how she works with manufacturers, and her mind on journey influencers in trendy. Econsultancy: May want to you begin by using explaining a piece approximately your blog and how you got into the industry?

Marion Payen: I to start with started out my blog because of an interest in creating something more real than I was seeing somewhere else.

I acknowledged that I Could offer more than well-known hints from huge groups like Lonely Planet. I suggest an emblem like that could inform me to visit a specific marketplace – but how will I know if it’ll provide me with something precise or without a doubt exciting? I’m greater inclined to agree with a person with a personal point of view in preference to an ebook that’s been written for the hundreds.

So, I aimed to build something based totally on the perception that if you want my lifestyle and the manner that I am touring, then you would love the hints I make too.

E: Did you begin your weblog with any know-how of influencer marketing?

MP: In terms of my personal heritage, I started within the hospitality and tour industry in Florida, then I moved to London wherein I worked in retail – mainly e-commerce and digital advertising and marketing.

This is how I knew I May want to provide something distinct from different journey websites because I already knew many hints of the alternate.

I had worked with influencers myself thru affiliate channels and had general information about Search engine optimization, Percent, coding, and so forth. – so I knew I Ought to use this to my gain, especially in comparison to different bloggers I was seeing on the time.

E: What are the primary techniques you have used to construct your target market?

MP: I manifestly have the primary internet site, but as I didn’t firstly have an awful lot cash to invest, I knew that to be able to pressure traffic to it I had to use every other organic channel like social media.

So, I started with Instagram, spending days and days simply being actually active on it, enticing with the network and making buddies with mutual interests.

Over time my presence grew. From final June to now I have controlled to reach 29,000 followers, and that’s just organically, from being excellent lively and building my very own community.

Finally, this target audience has also found its way lower back to my internet site, so now we’re at about 1,500 visits in line with the month.

E: At what point did you start getting hobby from brands?

MP: Quite these days. Earlier than that, it became basically me achieving out to brands via e-mail and social media, pronouncing That is what I do if you are interested.

Then, about a month ago, it regarded to flip – I started out to get emails each day from manufacturers and websites pronouncing that they’d determined me. As quickly as I reached about 25,000 fans on Instagram, it commenced appearing, after which I additionally was given Quite a chunk of press insurance from online and print magazines. Mixed, this regarded to really ignite interest.

E: Do you simplest paintings with a positive form of an emblem, and how do you make a decision who to paintings with?

MP: Sincerely, for the reason that very beginning I’ve made a point of being picky. I’ve seen a whole lot of different bloggers on Instagram being Pretty blatant, posting images of a watch with a mountain inside the heritage.

I might never need to receive a commission to sell a brand that I don’t believe in, so I simplest work people who I think are an absolutely appropriate healthy for me.

For example, I’m now operating with a logo that offers travel coverage, due to the fact I’ve used it myself and i recognize that my audience will find it useful. If I am protecting an expensive watch – why might a backpacker be interested in that? I’m not scared of saying no or explaining that it ain’t be a good suit, both.

E: What could you say is the high-quality way for a brand to approach an influencer?

MP: A brand can commonly get my interest if it’s far a customized message, so no longer just mentioning that they’ve seen my blog, however stating a particular article or photograph that they favored.

I am getting infinite emails saying that someone wants to work with me, so I really want to sense that there is a few type of non-public connection. I also can tell if it’s miles an email they have despatched to loads of different bloggers – I’m able to read between the traces.

Lastly, I have to feel love it’s not pretty much them, that it’s approximately each of us, and that each one party may be capable enjoy the deal.

E: How do you spot influencer marketing evolving? Do you watch it’s going to reach saturation point?

MP: I do think it’s going to reach saturation point. You can tell this, no longer simply from the quantity of influencers, however the type and pleasant of content material that they’re promoting. You may commonly tell that it’s not authentic, that they’re staying in a motel surely because they’re being paid to – it doesn’t align with their identification or technique to tour in any manner.

This weekend I was within the south of Mexico, in a hostel that paid for my entire revel in, and whilst the hostel is, in reality, a place I’d stay at (and sell), my article may even include targeted data approximately the day experience I went on and each single pastime I did. It’s constantly better to promote a story rather than just a trustworthy advice.

I think genuine influencer advertising will evolve in this manner, telling the tale and whole experience of a place in place of just one element.

E: In the end, what’s the high-quality place you’ve been or revel in you’ve had a way to your blog?

MP: The first-class feedback I’ve had has been from my Iceland experience – I was there for an entire week over New 12 months. I didn’t even truly plan anything, then I slowly realized that it became wintry weather, there might handiest be 4 hours of daytime, we’d be freezing.

Who goes to Iceland in winter? however, we embraced it and ended up taking the most tremendous snapshots. The remarks were outstanding, with people commenting that they now want to go to all through the iciness time instead of summer, and asking questions on how we got there, how we traveled and so on.

human beings don’t even suppose to go to a place like Iceland Earlier than they see images after which they get passionate about it. For us, That is so worthwhile – it indicates that You can without a doubt inspire.
