VickyFlipFlopTravels.com<\/a> will be featured in this week\u2019s Media Updates. Author<\/span> Vicky Philpott<\/a> spoke to Cision about people making the most of their annual leave, loving Mashable and working with PR. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"VictoriaWhy should people read your blog?<\/span>
<\/b>For two reasons: fun and pragmatic advice on travelling and festivals, and to learn how to make the most of their valuable annual leave.<\/p>\n

What makes your blog different?<\/b><\/span>
It\u2019s not full of flowery hyperbole of what travelling is like and the deep meaning behind it, but realistic and practical advice to help readers recreate the amazing trips I\u2019ve enjoyed.<\/p>\n

What’s your favourite blog and why?<\/b><\/span>
Mashable<\/a> is popular for a reason; it\u2019s awesome. I love the mix of technology, communications and travel. It\u2019s one of the few blogs I manage to keep up with every week. \u00a0<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a blog?<\/b><\/span>
<\/b>Go for it! I\u2019ve actually written a blog post about how awesome being a travel blogger<\/a> is and have had some good feedback. <\/b><\/p>\n

Where in the world would you still like to go?<\/b><\/span>
I have three travel aims for the next two years, Coachella Festival in Nevada, SXSW in Texas and Day of the Dead Festival in Mexico. I will <\/i>make it to all of them.<\/p>\n

How does a good PR work with you?<\/b><\/span>
They understand what my blog and I are about and work with me accordingly. \u00a0<\/p>\n

What do PRs do that’s bad?<\/b><\/span>
Spam.<\/p>\n

Do you have any surprising hobbies or interests?<\/span>
<\/b>I work, I blog, I travel, I repeat. I just love learning new things whether that\u2019s in a new destination or reading-up online, and between that and a penchant for good wine, food and friends, I don\u2019t really have time for much else!<\/p>\n
