Work with Jen - She Gets Around

I’m Jen Lowthrop the writer and founder of this little corner of the internet. I write about travel, hiking and adventures big and small.

I started this blog in 2011 before leaving for a 9 month trip across Asia. Little did I know then it would turn into an income and take me across the globe on exciting press trips, partnerships and adventures.

I’ve worked with a range of different travel and lifestyle brands and am open to discussing different partnerships and ways of working together so it works for us both.

A walk in the Parks

Last year I set off on an epic 1000 mile 10 week adventure across every national park in England.

A Walk in the Parks raised over £21,000 for the Peak District National Park Foundation and other national parks. £10,000 of which was match funding from Alpkit who supported my hike.

I worked with Komoot sharing my hiking routes on their app and on my website, alongside numerous accommodation brands who provided accommodation for my dog Cookie and myself in exchange for bespoke reviews. All the content from this project can be found on my A Walk in the Parks subsite.

This year I am hiking across the Welsh National Parks and next year will be hiking across the Scottish National Parks. I will be working with Komoot again and am looking for accommodation providers in each of the national parks. Get in Touch if you are interested in working with me.

How you can work with She Gets Around

Alongside my walks in the parks, I am always looking for new ways to work with exciting brands and accommodation. Here are a few ways you can work with me:

Brand Ambassador

I love to create long term partnerships with brands I admire and love to use myself. In the past I have worked closely with a range of brands including, Visit Denmark, Double Tree by Hilton and RoomAuction. These were longer term partnerships that involved a range of the options listed below. Please get in touch if you are interested in creating a longer term partnership.

Press trips

Whether it is a day trip around the UK or a week away to a new country, I have the flexibility to accept press trips throughout the year. I offer a range of coverage from social media, to blog posts, to fully edited videos and can often write for other blogs or media outlets too. Brands I have worked with on press trips include RyanAir, Jet2Holidays, Visit Centro America and Visit Wakayama in Japan.

Social media coverage

When on press trips I automatically offer a level of coverage on my social media channels, but can also offer social media promotions for particular campaigns, including Instagram reels, Facebook posts, videos or a general buzz about your brand or campaign. I have a loyal following on social media with over 10k followers and would love to share your campaign with my readers.

Alongside blogging and social media coverage I can also work with brands in a number of ways.

I offer a range of bespoke training on blogging for business, building your brand online, public speaking, productivity and more. I love helping others to learn and succeed. My training is fun, interactive and almost always includes packs of information for attendees to take away with them. Whether it is one on one, for a close team or a random group at a conference or event please do get in touch if you would like to learn more.

Public Speaking

I have spoken at numerous events big and small about my experiences as a blogger, traveller and volunteer around the world. Insightful and inspiring with splashes of fun and laughter, I am sure to get the audience excited and motivated for what their future holds.

I regularly appear on BBC radio and BBC news talking about travel, coworking and running a small business.

Freelance writing

Alongside this blog I write for a number of other online blogs and websites. My writing focuses on travel, hiking, wild swimming or any of the adventures I have on this blog and beyond.
