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 (Facebook, 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.
