Our Team
At The Fit Traveller, we keep the conversation relevant, engaging, honest, positive, and fun. Our voice is global.
Our team of contributors includes curious correspondents, writers, photographers, and experts from around the world. We have a small group of regular content creators (below) and a wider TFT family who work with us on specific features.
What Sets us Apart?
We like to get our hands dirty; we dig for the detail. From local tips to eye-opening personal interest stories, unique travel experiences and itineraries, travel and lifestyle hacks, and the latest luxury and wellness travel offerings.
You won’t find quick, short blog posts here. We publish well-researched, interesting and creative articles featuring long-format experiential storytelling, beautiful original photography, and unique video coverage.
We deliver the good news story to our audience. Our content is original, unique and above all, inspirational.
