Bridges and Balloons is one of the world’s leading family travel guides with a strong UK and USA audience.
If you have a destination or product that you think our readers would enjoy, please get in touch. We’d love to work with you.
We also work with brands to create content for their own platforms. Victoria is a professional writer and Steve a professional filmmaker, so we’re known for our high quality content. We’ve been running Bridges and Balloons since 2012.

Here’s a selection of some of the brands we’ve worked with.
About Bridges and Balloons
Winner of Blogger of the Year at the British Guild of Travel Writers Awards
Bridges and Balloons specialises in family travel with personality and charm.
We help people craft dream family adventures, from road trips to weekend getaways. And we focus on charming, special stays that please kids and adults alike.
We like places that have a story behind them and we prioritise the experience over the price, featuring both budget and luxury styles. We look for the opposite of cookie-cutter holidays.
Words that epitomise our style are: cosy, creative, independent, hipster, bohemian and characterful.

Polite notice!
Please note: There are certain types of partnership requests I receive every day that are unsuitable for Bridges and Balloons. I don’t publish sponsored guest posts or infographics. I don’t promote products that are irrelevant to Bridges and Balloons or morally shady; and I don’t promote things that I haven’t tried myself. And please, please don’t send emails pretending to be a new blogger when you’re actually an SEO marketer. You’re not fooling anyone, and those emails make me sad.
