Type A Trips
A HIGHLY DETAILED, LUXURY TRAVEL BLOG for the travel savvy professional
Type A Trips is a luxury travel blog for the working professional with 2 weeks vacation a year who want to be told where to go to spend their hard earned travel dollars - wine, dinners, spas, luxury accommodations and sought after experiences - who don't have the time, energy or know how to plan. Since the site's inception in March of 2014, there has been tremendous growth and a targeted community of readers has emerged who are desperately seeking travel truths that fit their needs.
I am the Owner and Lead Travel Writer for Type A Trips, working with a small team of researchers to cut through the overwhelming noise for the 25 to 45 year old working professionals who have a limited amount of time and they trust me to provide them with the best places to go. These are not budget backpackers, these are travelers who want to take amazing vacations.
As a professional in the corporate world with a passion for photography and exploring, I focus on creating beautiful, relevant and straightforward content for readers like me, as well as organize and plan in-depth itineraries for my clients. Type A Trips provides readers with all of the inside information a traveler would need to plan a perfect vacation based on detailed research and strategic decisions.
PARTNERSHIPS
Type A Trips seeks out specific, strategic partners in the food and travel industry that fit the brand and demographic to promote. Partners can expect the following:
-At minimum, a 500 word blog post including photos as well as being featured in The Full Location Guide, if available.
-High resolution images taken during the visit and professionally edited. I will not use stock photos or images provided by the business, unless I am unable to obtain certain shots myself.
-Specific and helpful feedback and tips for those visiting or researching the location/property.
-Utilize Search Engine Optimization and direct links to drive traffic to your website as well as Pinterest paid promoted pins to increase social reach.
-Direct feedback to the property/business if there are areas that could be improved or may be helpful for travelers in the future.
-I will not post a negative/mean-spirited review, but I will offer honest opinions if there is a feature I do not like. If I cannot provide a positive review, I will contact you prior to posting.
-Please allow 4-6 weeks for the review to be posted or as otherwise specified. If you have a specific date in mind for the review, I will work with you to accommodate your request. Please let me know ahead of time.

Came across your post through Pinterest and I am SO happy I did! Our upcoming trip to Punta Cana will actually be my first trip out of the country and this review was exactly what I needed! Thank you for the detailed information! I plan to use the same company you did for transportation and potentially the excursion!!

Just wanted to say that I found your post on Barcelona on a recent 3-day trip there. We visited both Picnic and Obsessions (twice!). Really loved both of them and enjoyed the rest of your post as well!
