WHO ARE WE?

Erin Holmes (previously Erin Bender of Travel With Bender) is now paving the way with her new lifestyle, food, and travel brand Explore With Erin.

Her passion and expertise in social media, coupled with a Marketing and Public Relations degree, positions her perfectly as a teacher, mentor, and social media strategist.

Erin’s love of blogging has rocketed her into the spotlight with features on primetime TV, and national newspapers and as a professional speaker at conferences such as the New York Times Travel Show in New York, Women In Travel Summit in Los Angeles, Travelocity Influencer Conference in Cabo Mexico, Dear Alyne Retreats in Bali, and Problogger in Melbourne, Australia.

Erin, and her two kids, Mia and Caius finished a 5-year nomadic journey in 2017, which was originally chronicled on Travel With Bender. Since launching Explore With Erin her trip stories have been updated with more humor and more detail and can be found on this new Bender family site.

On top of the old content, Erin and the Travel With Bender kids are attempting to find a balance between slotting back into “normal” home life after years of nomadic travel.

Erin invites you along for the ride on Explore With Erin.

My writing style encourages followers to move from bucket list Pinterest dreams to booking that dream vacation.

I have been traveling since 2000 when as a bright-faced young 20-year-old, I packed my Aussie bags and moved to London, UK. 78 countries in I’m experienced in solo travel, couple travel, family travel, and single parent travel. That’s the whole package. And I share my personal experience across hundreds of blog posts.

HOW TO PARTNER

My goal is to create win-win relationships for us and you. And we can do that through a number of great choices.

Brand Ambassador

When we fall for a brand, we fall hard and our readers know about it. For the last three years, I have been delighted to be 1 of 13 Travelocity Gnomads. And in 2017 I picked up a Brand Ambassador role with Samsung Australia. Other long-term partnerships have included Viator, Hotels.com, Coaching Zone, Be Fit Food, Plus Fitness, Villa Finder, Travel Insurance Direct and more. Once you’ve worked once with me I can guarantee you’ll be happy to keep our relationship going. I seek to partner with brands that I rely upon, trust and use myself.

Destination Marketing Campaigns

What better way for a person to proudly get a word out about your destination, event, product or service than firsthand experience. We offer blog posts, live social media updates, YouTube videos and high-quality photography of our authentic travel experiences so our readers take action. Let us experience your destination so that our readers will want to. Our flexibility means we can visit as a family or solo to create the unique campaign you have in mind.

I have worked with hundreds of brands and Destination Marketing Campaigns are the perfect way to increase your online visibility and exposure. You can see some of our very happy brand testimonials here.

“I love everything about the Bender family and their blog! Over the past year, we have worked with Erin Bender on several projects, and I couldn’t be happier with the content she created for Florida. Her energy and humor make her such a delight to work with and I am glad to also call her my friend. I have seen firsthand the amount of work Erin puts into her blog, social platforms and brand ~ she goes above and beyond, and I am always impressed by everything she produces.”
