ABOUT US


ABOUT LOTUS EATERS TRAVEL

Who’s behind the mask?

We are John and Emma, a pair of English travel writers in our mid-thirties. Although we are romantically linked in our private life, when it comes to Lotus Eaters Travel, we are a team first and foremost. 

We want this site to be all about travel, so we’ve made a deliberate choice to focus on the writing, telling stories about the places we go to and not about ourselves. Our ethos is simple – we produce really useful travel guides.

But, how did Lotus Eaters Travel come to be? After walking our first Camino de Santiago in 2022, we decided to exit stage left from our lives in London. Eschewing corporate jobs for full time exploring.

Our adventures have taken us on some of the best thru hikes in the world and to some spectacular destinations. Through Lotus Eaters Travel, we want to continue to inspire others to do the same and keep adventuring. One foot in front of the other.

THIS SITE IS FOR YOU IF…..

We hope that you’ll enjoy our site if:

  • You like to travel slowly, ideally with time to spend hours drinking coffee, napping or savouring something sweet;
  • You enjoy a good bit of “English banter”;
  • You want to learn about unique walking experiences;
  • You like good food and wine and the fact that our travel guides ALWAYS feature both.

GUEST BLOGGERS

Rarer than hens teeth, we occasionally have guest posts, usually from brother Lotus or father Lotus (not their real names).

Rest assured, we don’t allow random people to write for us. If we know someone who has had a really cool travel experience and we trust their opinion then we may feature it on our website.
