Elite Travel Blog’s Mission
To create in-depth guides on travel destinations (mainly Kent and London) to help you decide if somewhere is worth visiting.
Travel
Elite Travel Blog began life as a travel blog over ten years ago. In that time, I’ve featured places all around the world I’d like to visit and my personal experiences, mostly Europe, London and Kent. I’ve also written about my favourite places to eat and things to see and do. One of my photos has been featured on the Visit England Instagram page!
Since turning 21, I tried to visit a new city abroad every birthday. Then Covid-19 happened and during lockdowns we shifted to covering entertainment. Today, Elite Travel Blog is a lifestyle blog. Here are the main content categories we now cover.
Best Travel Products
I’m passionate about finding products that make travel easier (because organising a holiday is stressful enough). I’ve spent 100+ hours researching to compile round-ups of the best travel products in our buying guides:
- Affordable luggage: best suitcase deals | affordable luggage brands
- Carry-on: carry-on luggage with laptop compartments | easyjet cabin bag |
- Checked luggage: checked luggage for international travel | extra large suitcases | expandable suitcases | trunk luggage
- Durable luggage: most durable luggage | zipperless suitcases | aluminium suitcases
- Luggage brands: luxury luggage brands | European luggage brands | eco-friendly suitcases | luggage with lifetime warranty
- Misc luggage: ultra lightweight suitcases | Tripp suitcases | suitcases for cruises | 2 wheel suitcases | rose gold luggage
- Suitcase reviews: Horizn Studios M5 | Level8 Voyageur | Grams(28) 154 City Pack
- Travel accessories: packing cube alternatives | travel accessories for long flights | compression suitcase packing cubes | GPS luggage tracker | passport covers | travel vanity cases | wine suitcases
When recommending a suitcase, I consider:
- weight
- material and durability
- pockets and internal organisation
- size
- customer reviews
- price
- colour variety
- warranty
- aesthetics
Our buying guides include “and the award goes to…” section where we recommend the best product for different buyers. We make a small commission on some affiliate links, but this will never sway my opinion (I hate buying products that don’t live up to the hype as much as you do).
I also review product hands on and test on holidays to get real use opinions. Here are a selection of reviews and brands we’ve worked with:
- Grams(28) 154 City Pack Review
- Horizn Studios H5 Cabin Luggage Review
- Level8 Voyageur Luggage Review
- Level8 Gibraltar Aluminium Carry-On Review

Entertainment
And during lockdowns, I wrote about entertainment like best comedies on Apple TV, Sky and film podcasts.
