I am not exaggerating when I say that this weekend changed my life - you both gave me such a renewed sense of confidence and belief in myself, and created the most wonderful energy on the retreat. The detail in the workshops was next level, and I didn't want the weekend to end.

Travelling more than halfway across the country was well worth the treat that was these few days. I’m home with feverish enthusiasm and too many excuses not to get down to it! Great retreat. Lots of relevant learning and made some new friends.

I signed up for the Talking Travel Writing retreat to boost my confidence in pitching and find out more about the travel media industry from Lottie and Steph - experts in their field - and I wasn't disappointed. As a novice, I learnt how to develop story ideas and craft pitches and realised the importance of networking. I would thoroughly recommend the Talking Travel Writing retreat to any aspiring travel writer.
