VickyFlipFlopTravels is a 15-year-old travel and festival blog run by me, Victoria Philpott.

I studied Communications and Journalism in Sheffield (BA Hons) before going on to Harlow College to gain my formal National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) schooling. I also have accreditation from the Digital Marketing Institute, as you can see on LinkedIn at Victoria Philpott.

In the past I’ve worked as a Content and Social Media Manager in travel and as a Content Editor as well as in various roles for some of the UK’s most popular magazines.

But now?

I help you to save money

I write for travel websites and magazines about saving money. I use my knowledge and first hand experience to help people travel more. And of course, I run this blog too. Since my son came along, family travel has become a focus!

What my readers said about me in my last reader survey…

– “How you write is so easy to read and possibly the best thing ever is that you don’t write the really, really obvious list posts that I keep seeing more and more lately, or in other words ones that just state the plan obvious/common sense.”

– “It’s honest and includes plenty of anecdotes”

– “The witty writing style – it’s a lot more humorous compared to the other blogs I read, and that’s what sets it apart.”

– “Your passion”

– “Your blog posts about Iceland convinced me that I needed to get my butt into gear. And also, having followed your blog for years, it was one of the very first blogs I ever read which inspired me to start blogging! So…go you! :)”
