ABOUT

Hi! I’m Simon

I always wished I was a globetrotter. Instead, I worked for over 10 years in investment banking and then 8 years in a PR firm. But as soon as I could, I flew away to explore another little piece of our beautiful world to discover new places, meet different people, feel amazed in front of a stunning scenery.

I started my Wild About Travel blog in June 2009 mostly as a way to learn about blogging and social media and soon discovered a true passion.
While I went on writing about my past and current travel experiences, I started building a wide network through the main social media. The turning point was the invitation to my first ‘blog trip’ as well as meeting bloggers and professionals of the travel industry.
Through the constant sharing of ideas and insights, I developed an extensive knowledge of the social media environment and the benefits in terms of marketing and promotions it can bring to the Travel and Hospitality Industry.

I am also a contributor of VisitBritain, together with a pool of UK and international travel bloggers.

What is ‘Wild About Travel’?

First and foremost, it is the mirror of my greatest passion: travel. And the desire to share my experiences and emotions.
I like adventure, the outdoors and wilderness, but I am also passionate about art and culture. To me, the beauty of travel is in the discovery.
I visited over 35 countries, sometimes with friends or my partner and in many occasions alone. Curious about the 5 I loved more? Not easy but let’s say… Yemen, Peru, Nepal, Brazil, Venezuela. The places where I dream to go? Too many!

I hope you’ll enjoy reading my adventures!
