Are you interested in a collaboration with Travelaroundwithme.com? Do you want to work with somebody who is enthusiastic and tells everyone what she has experienced? In 2013 I started sharing my travel experiences, photos and videos with other travel enthusiasts. “Travel around with me” was born and now it has grown into a personal travel magazine full of adventurous experiences, funny things you must have done once and travel tips you must know of.
I now share the best wellness experiences in the world in the Dutch digital Wellness Lifestyle Magazine Wellness Spots, which I also publish as a publisher. Best of all, it has also become my full-time job to create content as a publisher!

Content creation, branded content & advertorials
You have an objective, a theme that you want to highlight, a news item that you want to bring to the attention and / or a campaign for which you are looking for cooperation partners. You name it and I think how I can create content for that, or we can think together about a great idea. Have you written an advertorial yourself? I check if it suits me and my target group and rewrite it so that it becomes a personal travel tip. I would like to send you a few examples by e-mail of successful collaborations. You can also have a look at the examples below.
Content creation is my work and I think about it all day and I see a story in everything. I write about my travel adventures, how I plan a trip, my travel tips for a carefree journey because I have a wide range of good and less good travel experiences. For example; I also mention where people should look out for when they travel. There are more than 1000 travel articles on my website. Who knows, there might be something that fits your target group, vision or mission.

Content creation in combination with affiliation marketing
I like to give all travel enthusiasts the very best (practical) travel tips. The readers can stay informed of all travel trends, travel developments, travel destinations and travel tips for free. This is of course only possible for the reader for free if something is earned on the other side.
One of our revenue models is the creation of content in combination with affiliate marketing. For this we work together with more than 100 partners through various Dutch and international marketing channels. Partnering based on affiliate marketing works very well for us because 87% of our readers come to our website through Google Organic Search.
This means that readers really search for something, find the answer with us and proceed to purchase, order or request more information. Because our readers click on a link, the other party knows that we have forwarded the reader and we receive a commission for this. We would be happy to send you a few examples by e-mail of successful affiliate collaborations. Below you can view a few example articles that are purely focused on content for affiliate marketing:
- The cosiest houses with a fireplace in The Netherlands.
- The best travel tips for a wintersports holiday in Slovenia.
- Inspire yourself with the best tips for romantic overnight stays.
(Individual) Press trips
You organize a press trip for a group of journalists and / or content creators / or bloggers because you want to put the travel destination in the spotlight. Or you ask me to travel on an individual basis so that I can discover exactly those things that suit me and that you want to show.
My preference is traveling with someone because that person can support me with the photography and the video. Besides that I believe ‘travelling with somebody is a great way to create stories‘. In consultation I create text, photo and video content. Curious what to expect after I went on a press trip?
- 2021: A wintersports holiday in Slovenia.
- 2021: Tips for the best route to explore Gran Canaria.
- 2020: Winter experiences in La Clusaz ski area in France.
- 2020: A surprise trip in Europe with a Romantic & Wellness theme.
Reviews of travel related products
I regularly write about products that I use while traveling, from handy travel bags to actioncams and travel lifestyle products. If you have experience with something and you are happy with it, I like to share my experiences. Do you have a new suitcase in the assortiment, a new camera model, a lightweight trolley or handy gadgets for traveling? You ask me to test and review the product.
If necessary, we can extend the review collaboration with a giveaway. I only write about products that I support and that I actually use when traveling. I therefore only review products that I receive for testing. The products are photographed at one of the destinations where I travel to. Examples of reviews can be found on my website review page with a selection below.
- Review location: the best hotels in Sri Lanka.
- Review location: These arte places you want to sleep in Finnish Lapland.

Ask me about the possibilities and I can take the products with me on a trip for a photo product report.

Webcare, we continue to keep our readers up to date
There are now more than 1000 travel articles published at Travelaroundwithme. I do my best to keep the information as relevant as possible. Because I really focus on SEO, I generally don’t post prices and opening hours on the website. Purely due to the fact that this is subject to change.
I work on a daily base at Travelaroundwithme.com as this is my fulltime work. Which means that I also regularly update, go through and refresh the content that is published. As a partner of me, you can be assured that after a collaboration I always ensure that readers receive the correct information.
I regularly receive questions from readers by e-mail and sometimes I also receive a phone call. It turns out that in a number of cases Travelaroundwithme is sometimes more accessible or better be found via Google than the provider itself. Take advantage of this and discover which target group can appeal to you.
Travel around with me in the media
Over the years I have been regularly asked by both digital and offline media to share my travel tips and travel knowledge. I have worked with various newspapers, magazines and news channels. I was featured in the AD, Het Parool, De Posthoorn, VRIJ Magazine, VROUW (Telegraaf), Talkies Magazine, Wellness Magazine, Innsbruck Magazine, Vriendin, Viva, Grazia and Cosmopolitan. I was once able to give travel tips at BNR Nieuwsradio and at The Hague FM I gave weekly tips for a while and I was interviewed about the Palio di Siena.
I once collaborated with a reporter from The Hague FM on a report when the Ferris wheel on De Pier in Scheveningen had just been built. As a result, FUNX Den Haag also found me and I was live in the radio broadcast. Hart van Nederland interviewd me about camping at the Euromast in Rotterdam and Omroep West came for an interview about the Unox Home Dive 2022. I also wrote articles for various other travel related media, including Wellness Magazine, Expedia and Ski Info.
*Have a look at all the “In de media” publications.
Henriëtte Bokslag van Travel around with me as guest speaker
The nice thing is that sharing my travel knowledge is getting noticed more and more and that I have already been asked to speak twice on a conference and travel event. I once gave travel tips on the Reis! Event in Groningen and at Hogeschool InHolland in Rotterdam I was one of the guest speakers during a conference about; “Terrorism in Tourism“. An article was published in NRIT Media on the occasion of this conference.
Photography for brochures
In 2013 I took pictures of the interior of the Woody lodge tent at Camping Park Albatros in Italy. These photos can be found in the 2014 brochure and on the website of Roan Camping holidays. You can take a look at the published photos in my blog; “Photography in the brochure of Roan Camping Holidays“.
In 2014 I traveled in two weeks from Lake Maggiore to Lake Garda to photograph all 18 campsites where Roan Camping Holidays and Go4Camp are located.

Travelaroundwithme business branding via Giphy’s
Business and personal branding is very important to me! I do my very best to connect the way as who I’am as person and the way I write on Travelaroundwithme.com with the style I want to propagate. Over the years and the fact that I’ve been doing this for almost 10 years now it becomes more and more obvious. The use of color, the layout of the website and the newsletter, the way I want to show Travelaroundwithme.com and who I’am as a person.
The personal and business branding of me and of the website to the world is very important for me. It must be recognizable, contain the same colors, fit within my lifestyle and show who I’am and what I want to convey. Recently I had business and personal Giphy photo shoot on location.
For Travelaroundwithme.com I was looking for really personal Giphy’s. I’m Henriëtte from Travel around with me and it’s just Travel around with me (Henriëtte) and who I take or meet on a trip. For my personal Giphy’s it could therefore only be myself or me with someone. That is a completely different perspective than with my other digital magazine Wellness Spots.
*Follow Travelaroundwithme op Instagram.
**Discover all Travelaroundwithme Giphy’s here and use them.
***Do you also want to maken your own GIF for branding? This is how we did that!
Content strategy with Wellness Spots
On Travel around with me I also shared great Spa & Wellness Tips from 2013! In 2016 I decided to set up Wellness Spots, which in 5 years has grown into the digital Wellness Lifestyle Magazine of The Netherlands. It is now also possible to set up a content strategy with the 2 digital media that I publish. There are so many interesting combinations that you can make which you can reach even more people. What do you think about:
- Enjoy Horseriding & Wellness holidays.
- Explore the world of Adventure & Wellness.
- The best of both worlds, enjoy Wine & Wellness.
- Travel around with me and drive a cool car during a wellness roadtrip thru Europe.
