Hi, I’m Lucy, a freelance travel writer, digital marketer and content creator based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I started this blog in 2020, mainly as an outlet for my love of writing and a way to document the experiences that felt worth remembering. Back then, I’d just left my soul-sucking recruitment job and moved to Madrid to teach English, and I had no idea what direction my career or this blog would take.

In case you’re wondering, yes, my boyfriend and I really did pack up our lives in Edinburgh and move to Madrid to “find ourselves” in the height of Covid. HAHA. Nah, but seriously, we fancied a bit of a lifestyle change and didn’t want to spend any more time doing things we weren’t passionate or interested in.

Since then, life has changed a lot. I’ve worked in Spain, travelled across Europe on a budget, moved back to Scotland and built a career in digital marketing while continuing to freelance as a copywriter specialising in travel and lifestyle content.

What you’ll find here

In a bid for consistency across my blog and professional Instagram page, I’d like to introduce you to Content with Lucy. This is where I share the things I care about most: travel, writing, and the realities of fitting creativity around a full-time job.

Here, you’ll find:

• Travel guides and itineraries around Europe, with a focus on local experiences, hidden gems and practical tips.
• Ideas and inspiration for making travel feel more accessible, whether that’s a short break close to home or a longer adventure further afield.
• Insights into freelance writing and content marketing, and how these skills can support travel brands and businesses.

Whether you’re planning a trip, working in the content world yourself or just curious about how other people make it all fit, I hope you’ll find something useful here.

My goals for Content with Lucy

My aim is to keep growing this space into a resource that’s genuinely helpful, honest and enjoyable to read. Over time, I’d love to work with travel brands, hotels and destinations to share more ideas and to continue developing my skills as both a writer and a marketer.
