Review of Essential Travel online magazine and blog

October 30, 2008

I came across the Essential Travel online magazine and blog in a press release detailing the UK based travel insurance website’s redesign to include more tips and advice for travellers.

I was impressed by online magazine which is published monthly. The October 2008 edition had articles about financial protection for your holiday, Miami, Florida and ideas for Half Term breaks. The Essential Travel magazine also has travel tips, questions, ideas and destination guides and 24 hour guides.

The Essential Travel blog authored by Joanna Hunter is very interesting, varied and written with Joanna’s personality and sense of humour evident but not detracting from the content. I was relieved to hear that someone else isn’t that enamoured with Dubai with Joanna describing it as “a souless building site”, “full of cynical tourist traps” and “an ecological folly on a grand scale”. Now I haven’t even visited Dubai but I I’m not in the least attracted to do so.

I liked the magazine and blog because they offered useful travel information from a UK perspective and weren’t plastered with adverts or constantly trying to push Essential Travel’s insurance policies.
