Hi, I'm Kerry, a travel writer, publisher, and Bristolian now living in Weston-super-Mare. I run the publishing company, Printslinger (founded by Alastair Sawday and Laura Collacott). Our current titles are The Extra Mile: Delicious Alternatives to Motorway Services, The Coastal Café Guide, and The Farm Shop Guide. We're about to start a new partnership with Wild Guides, a fellow local company, and can't wait to see where that might take us.
I used to be Comms Director at Bristol-based Secret Compass Expeditions, and have worked with the active travel charity, Sustrans. I do everything from project planning and on-the-road research to writing, print production, book layout, and website design. I'm keen to get out more and to do more people-facing work. I'm a Hill and Moorland Leader (i.e. trekking, but not in mountainous terrain), a British Cycling Ride Leader, and an Outdoor First Aider. Though I run Printslinger/ Extra Mile Books I'm 100% open to freelance work, projects, and outdoorsy and non-desk-based opps in 2025 and beyond, others in the team can hold the fort should something meaty come up!
I've joined Travel Massive to connect with people and opportunities across our wonderful region (and beyond).

Oooh...I suppose officially, freelance writing aside, Comms Director with Secret Compass Expeditions in Bristol. Though I've had copious roles at the coal-face, from running hostels and chalets to working in hospitality and catering from the age of about 16!
I'd like to learn more about the companies in the region offering outdoor and active travel experiences.
Appreciate other cultures.
No I believe it's London. The pair were very engaging and positive, wishing them all the best with Hoppswap! You can pre-register your interest on their site.
