About POD Travels

Hello and welcome to POD Travels, a Top UK Family Travel blog. POD Travels was founded in 2015 following the success of multi-award nominated parent and lifestyle blog PODcast which launched three years earlier. Between us, we’ve been lucky enough to travel extensively most of our lives. From Southeast Asia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands to the Caribbean, South America and Australia where I lived for two years. We’ve travelled a lot in Europe where we’ve enjoyed many a sun, ski and city break. Our travels abroad are typically centred around discovery, adventure and exploration. We especially love finding those spectacular places off the beaten track whether it’s in the UK or further afield. Head over to our work with us page to find out more about our experience and how we could collaborate. Alternatively get in touch via emailTwitter or Instagram.

About the Doves

The Doves are a family of three, there’s me Charly, husband Jonathan (JD) and daughter ‘POD’ who was born on Christmas Day 2010. I was born in London and spent around 20 years living there before upping sticks to Guildford in Surrey the year POD arrived. We enjoyed 12 years there before relocating to Suffolk in 2022 to be closer to family.

Photography

I’m passionate about photography and storytelling. I love showing people what the beautiful places we visit are like so they can imagine being there. Photography is very much my thing although I enjoy bringing places to life with video too. I’ve spoken about photography at blogger conferences such as BritMums and BlogOn.

Awards

I’m a Multi-Award Nominated Blogger having been a Blog Awards Finalist six times between 2014 and 2019. It’s a great honour to get to the finals in these national awards so many times.
