Collaborate with The Millennial Runaway

I’m Charlie — the creator of The Millennial Runaway — a UK-based travel blog encouraging millennials to embrace travel without giving up their careers, homes, or routines.

As a full-time Marketing Manager by day, I know what it’s like to balance wanderlust with the 9–5. Through this platform, I share real, accessible travel experiences — from local discoveries and city breaks to long-haul escapes — to show that adventure can fit around everyday life.

I’m passionate about storytelling, showcasing local culture, and finding joy in both far-flung destinations and what’s right on my doorstep. I’m particularly interested in partnering with brands that reflect these values.

Please contact me, The Millennial Runaway – otherwise known as Charlie – at charlotteswinnerton@googlemail.com.

What I Offer

I love collaborating with tourism boards, travel brands, restaurants, events, and lifestyle experiences — especially those that appeal to a time-strapped, travel-hungry audience. Depending on your goals, collaborations can include:

  • Blog posts

  • Social media coverage (Instagram, TikTok)

  • Press trip participation

  • Product or experience reviews

  • Event attendance & coverage

I’m based in Bristol, and always happy to attend evening and weekend events — particularly those focused on local experiences, food, and seasonal campaigns.

I always disclose gifted or paid collaborations clearly across all platforms.

TikTok Highlights

As part of my content offering, I create short-form video content on TikTok to share travel experiences in an authentic, engaging format — centered around relatable travel tips for a 9–5 audience.

Recent TikTok performance includes:

  • El Diablo Restaurant Visit – Over 12K views and more than 200 saves in the first 24 hours of posting

  • Glastonbury Festival coverage – Over 1 million views across five days of festival coverage

  • Corfu Travel Vlog – Over 37,000 views, showcasing island highlights and real-time tips

TikTok allows me to reach a broader audience through short-form, real-time content. It’s a platform I use to share food and travel experiences. Some posts have gained significant traction, with views ranging from 10K to over 1 million, depending on timing and topic — giving brands the opportunity to connect with engaged, travel-curious viewers.
