Explore With Ed
AuthorHello, I’m Jamie, a 32 year old content creator from South Wales. You may be wondering "who's Ed?", well, Ed is actually one of my nicknames that I thought went best with 'explore' when I started travel blogging back in 2014. Feel free to use Jamie or Ed interchangeably!
I have a passion for filmmaking and photography which I've been able to do freelance over the past few years, as well as for Blogosphere in London where I work as their Head of Content.
Exploring the UK & Europe
I often take day trips and short breaks in the UK as I'm a firm believer you don't have to travel far to learn and see something new! The Cotswolds, Brecon Beacons, South West England and North Wales are just a few areas I love to visit. Many of these locations frequently pop up on my Instagram @explorewithed.
Most of my adventures abroad take me to Europe via short city breaks or cruises from Southampton for a touch of luxury.
I'm drawn to places steeped in history, as well as destinations with dramatic landscapes and sea views. My top Europe destinations to date include the South of France and the Norwegian Fjords.
Cruising
My passion for cruising began in 2012 when I boarded my first cruise ship to France to see what cruising was like. I was hooked and subsequently booked more until it became an annual family holiday.
Over the past 8 years I've had some incredible opportunities to share the newest cruise ships arriving into the UK and explore all corners of Europe by sea.
I've published numerous cruise ship videos on YouTube and I'm proud to be part of the growing cruise community and meeting other UK cruise bloggers along the way!
