Award-winning travel writer and photographer Sue Gough Henly is thrilled to announce the launch of her travel blog: GENUINE JOURNEYS. It is the distillation of a professional lifetime seeking out authentic travel experiences and luxury splurges. It is also filled with terrific photographs to inspire you to embark on adventures in new and exciting destinations.
In these times of information overload, this blog cuts through the chaff to offer useful curated content or the sort of 'decision assistance' you rely on from a well-travelled friend.
With sections on Destinations, Adventures, Hotels, Food and Wine as well as Travel Tips, the blog offers context, nuance and practical tips to give you the lowdown on the best places to explore, either close to home or at the ends of the earth. It offers ideas for discerning travellers whether they are interested in art, culture and design; food and wine; terrific outdoors adventures....or all three.
To celebrate the launch, Genuine Journeys is offering some exciting giveaways as a way to generate interest and conversation about the blog.
Mr & Mrs Smith have kindly offered a $250 voucher towards a night's stay at one of their world-class boutique hotels. For those who have not yet discovered this hotel website, booking service and free-to-join travel club, Mr & Mrs Smith maintains a hand-picked and anonymously reviewed collection of around 900 of the world's most stylish digs.
Not everyone can win this giveaway sadly, so the other prizes are 20 free download codes for Sue Gough Henly's discerning travel app AUSTRALIA'S BEST PLACES as an extra thank you for taking the time to check out the blog.
To be in the running, readers can choose from any number of social media options, including commenting on a blog post, sharing a post with their network, liking Genuine Journeys on Facebook, following on Twitter, and tweeting about the giveaway. Details are available on the blog.
