Work With Eileen and Pure Wander
Pure Wander has been publishing honest, personal travel content since 2013. We reach an audience of primarily women travelers, most of them planning trips with family or friends, who come here to research destinations and get real recommendations from someone who has actually been.
If your brand, destination, or property belongs in those conversations, let’s talk!

What We Offer
Blog content and editorial coverage. Long-form destination guides, hotel and property features, and experience-based reviews published on purewander.com. Our top pages generate hundreds of thousands of impressions annually and rank on page one for competitive travel search terms.
Social content and reels. Instagram-first short-form video, carousels, and static posts reaching an engaged audience of women travelers. Content is created in Pure Wander’s editorial voice, not as obvious advertising.
Newsletter features. Dedicated or integrated mentions to 5,500 active subscribers who have opted in for travel recommendations.
UGC and content licensing. Original photo and video content available for brand use. View the UGC portfolio below.
Press trips and hosted stays. I travel primarily with family right now and partner best with properties and destinations that welcome that context authentically. I’m also available for individual hosted stays when the fit is right. Group press trips are something I’m looking forward to returning to in a future season.
TESTIMONIALS:
“I was a fan of Eileen’s long before I had the opportunity to work with her. She’s a talented writer who has deep experience partnering with brands and destinations — whether she’s partnering with a local New England attraction or a large, international tourism board, she delivers high-quality, engaging content and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy.”
Brianne Miers, PR professional
“Working with Eileen and Pure Wander has been amazing. Her beautiful write up about our vacation properties as well as her photos and video came out fantastic! Best of all, within a week of Pure Wander’s promotion on her website and social media, we received four instant bookings and many more inquiries about staying at our property. Eileen was a joy to work with and we look forward to exploring many more of her recommendations in other areas around the globe!!”
Sincerely, Keith and Linda of Chatham

If you’re a New England-based brand or event looking for social coverage or editorial features, this is an area we’re actively growing.
Who Reads Pure Wander?
Our readers are primarily women between 30 and 55, most of them planning trips with partners, children, parents, or close friends. They’re researching real destinations, not just scrolling for inspiration. They save content, click through to guides, and make actual booking decisions based on what they read here. They value honest recommendations over polished advertising.
Let’s Talk!
I’m selective about partnerships and work best with brands and destinations that fit naturally into the content I’m already creating. If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.
