Hi, we’re Tanya and Andy and we launched Can Travel Will Travel in May 2016 as we prepared to leave the UK to travel, live and work abroad indefinitely.
Our aim is to inspire and encourage others to follow their dreams, visit new places and immerse themselves in new cultures, sample new foods, experience new activities, and undertake new challenges. Our journey involves stints of travelling (both together and individually), followed by longer stretches of living and working in one place.
We focus on natural and cultural highlights, hotels, food and restaurants, must-sees and dos, and anything a bit more ‘off the beaten track’ that people often miss. We are also interested in ethical wildlife encounters and conservation.
If your company or brand is a good fit for our niche, fun and ethical then we’d love to chat.
Please take a moment to consider your proposal and budget before contacting us and are willing to pay a reasonable rate for the services we provide you.
Contact us to explore how we can work together to help each other.

How You Can Work With Us
We love working with tourism boards, travel companies and brands that share our passion for travel. The only proviso is that your destination, product or service is a good fit for our niches and of interest to our dedicated and engaged audience.
We are often available to work as a couple, but equally, Tanya is also available on a solo basis when Andy is busy teaching.
Below are some ways we can work together and of course we are always open to hearing and discussing your own ideas and suggestions.
Press and FAM Trips
It’s blatantly clear that we have the travel bug and love everything about it.
We enjoy exploring cities, countryside, beaches, mountains and jungles, getting to know the people, immersing ourselves in the culture and sampling all the food. We like to check out popular destinations, attractions and activities, but our favourite thing is to get off the beaten track to explore where other visitors seldom go.
Lots of ground has been covered but we want to discover more. Press and FAM trips enable us to experience destinations first-hand and then share our knowledge with our audience via blog posts and/ or social media. We’ve worked with several tourism boards and many companies and brands to promote tourism, resorts, travel-related activities, products and services.
Here are some of our top-performing coverage from press and FAM trips:

| Sicily Hike and Bike Tour from Catania See all Turkey posts | Bikepark Kopřivná in Jeseniky Mountains See all Czech Republic posts | Exploring Šumava National Park See all Czech Republic posts |
Product Reviews
We review a variety of accommodation and travel-related products and services on our blog. If you have something you’d like featured we’d be happy to help you spread the word via SEO-optimised blog posts and/ or social media.
As we’ve mentioned before, all our reviews are frank and honest, regardless of who is footing the bill, which is, of course, why our audience trusts us.
Here are some of our top-performing product reviews:

Social Media Promotion
We can promote your accommodation and travel-related products and services via our highly engaged social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest). We can also run a takeover of your social media accounts, host Twitter chats, or judge competitions.
Social media promotion often forms part of our coverage of press and FAM trips and product reviews.
Sponsored Posts, Links and Advertisements
On occasion, we also accept sponsored travel-related posts, links and advertisements. Such as this post about Kerala written in paid partnership with Kerala Tourism to promote their’ Human by Nature’ campaign.
Testimonials
Here’s just a small selection of the lovely feedback we’ve received from the companies and brands we’ve worked with.
