Testimonials about GoNOMAD Coverage from CVBs and Tourism Boards We’ve Visited

SEEFELD, AUSTRIA

Reading the article on GoNomad about Seefeld in Austria, we believe Cathie Arquilla is an excellent writer and the coverage for our destinations on the web can be considered as VERY GOOD.

She managed to portrait Seefeld, a Best of The Alps destination, in a special way, where you feel that she enjoyed the stay with us as we did to host her and hopefully that will inspire readers to experience some of the unique places, things to do or just the beautiful nature of this Tyrolean village in the heart of the Alps.

IRELAND

Christopher Ludgate was one of a party of seven journalists who took part in a group media trip to Northern Ireland in September 2016 on which I was the Tourism Ireland escort. While on the trip I found Chris to be a complete professional at all times. He was punctual, observant, interested in everything and respectful of all the members of the group and of all the tourism providers we met along the way. His determination to get the best photographs that he could, to interact with everyone he met and to fully take part in all activities was noticed not just by myself but by others

I would have no problem in recommending Chris for any assignment and hope to see him back in Ireland in the near future.

CHIBA PREFECTURE, JAPAN

It was excellent to work with Gonomad.com writer Mr Paul Shoul. I do appreciate his enthusiasm in writing about the trip in Tokyo region. Paul is a wonderful photographer–I love his photos as much as his articles. His photos give you-are-there feeling. You would like to eat the food when you see the photo! Paul, thank you so much for your kind cooperation. I am looking forward to the chance I can work with you again! Mariko

Kind regards,

BELLINGHAM WA

“I’m writing on behalf of Max Hartshorne, editor of GoNomad.com, to express our delight and surpassed expectations in working with him this past year.

Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism hosted Max, along with two other writers, for a 3-day media tour in Bellingham, WA in early March. We found Max to be extremely detail-oriented, pleasant, curious, well-mannered, knowledgeable about many travel and food-related subjects, and very appreciative of our partner businesses and their support. He was also very active on social media and his blogs during and after the tour, and his posts were interesting and positive. Based on our fun and professional experience with Max, we’d recommend other cities, states and countries host him.”

KELTY-AUSTIN ADVENTURES

Paul Shoul was a welcome addition to our media trip to Costa Rica. He took this opportunity to cover the destination and try our newest gear seriously as he was constantly taking photographs, talking to the locals, and offering valuable feedback about the equipment we featured. His photography really captured the experience and the review he wrote about our Kelty Flyway pack was stellar. Paul was easy to get along with and the group enjoyed his company. His humor, insight, and knowledge of Central American culture helped make the trip a huge success. We’d be glad to host Paul in the future.

He has always produced very generously, is always excellent with follow up ( providing clips, creating special links, updating how many view a particular article has received)  Max has been a joy to travel with always on time, without complaints.Our partners in France have received great responses from tourists in connection with links and reviews posted on GoNomad.com through Max’s work.

MONTANA

It has been our pleasure not only to host Max, but also freelance journalists that are on assignment for Gonomad.com. We have been impressed by the quality of writers that are connected to GoNomad – they all have been easy to work with and always, always produce great stories as a result of their time in Montana. There is no shortage of websites related to travel; GoNomad is a standout as a site that is user friendly, insightful and honest about the destinations they feature.

NORFOLK, VA

From a travel publicist’s standpoint, Jean Spojaric is a great writer to work with! She is truly a pleasure to bring on press trips, as she is fun, outgoing, appreciative, and seems to genuinely enjoy her time exploring new destinations. She instantly gets along with everyone she meets and is definitely an asset to the group. The stories she’s produced following trips have also been fantastic – she’s included detailed recaps with a variety of images and positioned our destination/hotel clients just as we’d hoped.
