Freelance Writing, Advertising, Media and PR Services

Working with travel bloggers is an innovative and cost effective way to reach a relevant, travel obsessed audience to promote your travel related brand and to increase tourism to your destination. There are many reasons to work with Global Gallivanting Travel Blog.

Global Gallivanting is a blog about travel and living a location independent lifestyle written by Anna Phipps, a professional freelance writer, digital marketing consultant and travel addict from the UK.

Global Gallivanting was founded in January 2013 to help and inspire others to travel more and to live a location independent lifestyle.  Since moving to Goa, Global Gallivanting has become known as one of the top India travel blogs and Goa travel blogs and one of the best India travel blogs by foreigners.

Global Gallivanting  promotes adventurous, innovative and meaningful travel experiences  and looks to partner with like minded and relevant companies that will be of interest to our readers.

Working with bloggers can help you grow your business and increase sales in a more authentic, engaged, targeted and affordable way than traditional media and advertising. To learn more have a look at the article that I wrote for In Marketing We Trust about Successful Brand/ Blogger Relationships.

Testimonies

What Brands Say:

“We thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration with Anna from Global Gallivanting. Her professionalism as a blogger and her laid-back personality made her a real treat to work with and we really appreciated the variety of posts that she composed after her Rome experience. We would absolutely collaborate with Anna again and look forward to continuing to read about her other adventures in the world. Finally, we really loved the different media she produced from videos to beautifully captured photographs and we would recommend her as an invaluable resource for anyone who is looking for a spirited and well-traveled blogger to represent their brand.” –Rachel Zitin, PR and Social Media Manager, LivItaly Tours

“Anna is an avid traveler who tends to dive really deep when it comes to exploring options. Her description of a town that she visits is like story telling with details of the services, quality and experience. She is free from any prejudice and shares everything candidly. Anyone reading her blogs would virtually visit the place before making up their mind for the actual travel. We wish her all the very best for her travelling and writing !” Yogesh Kamra, Owner of Zostel Hostel Bir, India

“In 2015, Holiday Scout, a travel agency specialized in tours to North East India, began a campaign aimed at promoting North East India as a destination for women travelers. Aware of the potential for a win-win-situation to emerge from cooperating with a female travel blogger, we started searching online for a portal with a focus and audience that matched ours. We read through many blogs, but to us the only one which really stood out was Global Gallivanting. Dedicated to exploring India, full of vibrant images and articles that speak to the modern woman traveler, we sensed that author Anna Phipps shared our passion!

We contacted Anna and soon agreed on the terms for her first trip with Holiday Scout, our Monastery & Tribal Discovery tour, a 10N/11D itinerary which took us to Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. From the start, Anna was extremely curious and inquisitive, always alert and willing to learn and try new things. As an agency providing guiding services, we really appreciated how Anna dove head-first into North East culture enjoying its variety of cuisines, tribal rituals and religious sites. 

Following the success of her initial press trip with Holiday Scout, Anna also worked with us to market a new 7N/8D tour that featured the Aoling & Mopin Festivals in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. In April 2016, she traveled with us to a remote part of Nagaland where she met the Konyak tribe and some of India’s last remaining headhunters, a dream come true, as she said. Following we took in the two festivals and Anna reveled in all the new customs, dances and merrymaking that she was exposed to. 

After each trip, Anna wrote several articles in which she gave her readership an honest and exuberant assessment of her tours with Holiday Scout. She continues to proactively promote the Holiday Scout brand on social media beyond her contractual obligations with us. We feel honored and excited to be one of the brands that Anna genuinely loves and look forward to the pleasure of traveling again with her in the future.” – Sange Tsering, Director of Holiday Scout Tours

“We were lucky to host Anna of Global Gallivanting with us in India. It is clear from her work that Anna’s true love in life is travel and helping others travel, Anna knows how to share all the highs and lows of traveling in this chaotic country while at the same time guiding travellers and bringing them alongside her adventures. She helped relay details about our program that will be highly valuable to all of our future volunteers as well as shared our beautiful country with the world.  We would gladly have Anna back with us if she ever visits again!”  – Prachi Jain,  Leave Ur Mark India
