Testimonials

I have had the pleasure to work with a very diverse group of professionals, many whom have really help to expose me to new destinations and story ideas that help to complement how I share the idea of travel. I am grateful to them for the opportunity they have given me, and also for their kind words on their experiences in working with me. Here is some of what they have to say:

“Finger Lakes Wine Country is thrilled to have Brave World Media as an extension of our in-house team. Carol and her team understand our brand and have successfully met deliverables in a timely and budget-conscious fashion. Their knowledge of the digital landscape has propelled Finger Lakes Wine Country forward, skyrocketing our social media presence and engagement in just a few short months. Their team remains current with trends, always thinking creatively to deliver top-notch results with a personalized touch. Carol and her team are a pleasure to work with and our partnership with them has been invaluable!  – Christina Roberts, Vice President of Brand Development, Finger Lakes Wine Country Tourism Marketing Association

“Carol has been working closely with Atout France, the French Government Tourism Office, for more than 2 years, and has successfully completed a series of trips with us. Carol is a professional, reactive, an incredible solo or group traveler, and is always quick to assist us with any projects we send her way. She is punctual, flexible, and consistently delivers all required content both during and after completion of the trip.

Most notably, she has participated in Atout France’s Vitivini Wine Tourism campaign the past three years in a row and has proven to produce consistent and exemplary results, as well as high-quality and captivating content. This year, our wine campaign, which featured seven bloggers, generated nearly 20 million impressions. 1.7 million of these impressions were thanks to Carol’s active social media and blog postings.”  – Tiana Rakotoson-Gomez, Product Marketing Manager, Atout France

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carol on various trips to destinations I represent as well as hotel stays. She is always so professional and wonderful to work with! All of my clients have really enjoyed having her and asked me to bring her back which is not a typical request. While on her trips, Carol is a wonderful part of the group (if traveling in a group). She’s always up for anything, interested and enthusiastic about what’s in store and shows such a passion and excitement for whatever it is she is doing. She truly sets the bar high when it comes to bloggers. And her social media updates and coverage while on her trips gain such buzz and traction. Post-trip, her blog posts and stories are always so thorough and well-done. I would not hesitate to send Carol anywhere and everywhere I represent.” – Katie Barr Cornish, Principal 11*6 PR 

“We engaged with Carol to stay with a hospitality client of ours while her family was embarking on an epic road trip across the country. Carol offered honest feedback on her experience that went above and beyond the type of engagement we had anticipated. Her refreshing spin on the property was not only well received by the hotel staff, but the entire corporate marcomm team. I’m happy to say we knew Carol before she elevated to ‘GirlGoneTravel’ celebrity status and it’s an honor to see where the road has taken her. If you want someone to tell it like it is about your product, brand or company…you need to connect with Carol.” – Dave Sniadak, Director of Visual Communications, Axiom Marketing Communications

“It is a pleasure working with Carol as one of the speakers at NMX and TBEX. She goes above and beyond to make sure her sessions are professional, engaging, and promoted well. I would love to work with her again in the future.” – Allison Boyer, Content Director at New Media Expo

“Carol is a true professional, go-getter and a pleasure to work with. I’m not sure how she does it all — mom, entrepreneur, blogger. She’s a great go-to person for understanding the blog world, what moms are looking for, and what to see in NYC! Her PR background makes her savvy to what readers are looking for, what clients need and what would be relevant to other media. My clients have been thrilled with coverage on her site and events she’s organized for them. I was happy to hear about the impressive awards she’s receiving. She deserves it!” – Mara Begley, Public Relations Freelancer

“We had Carol in our property last year for a Fam Trip, the result was amazing, nice pics, nice video but overall the way she describes the hotel facilities and the town was perfect. Great touristic journalist.” – Bruno Toso, Executive Chef, Balcones del Atlantico Rock Resorts

There’s so much to see, pick, eat, and enjoy dur There’s so much to see, pick, eat, and enjoy during harvest season in the Finger Lakes! The lakes are a bit colder but still so beautiful, our favorite wineries are busy harvesting grapes (thanks to our friends at @wagnervineyards for taking me along for the ride!), and there is so much abundance from our local farmers to enjoy!

Here’s a glimpse of life in wine country! 🍁🍂🍎🍏🎃

The early morning fog is my favorite view of the s The early morning fog is my favorite view of the season. If by the lake it dances over the vineyards, water, and hills. If in the valleys, like Corning, it sits like a blanket cuddling the streets and homes while everyone slowly starts their day.

The runners at this weekend’s @wgmarathon might get to enjoy a glimpse of it as they start their race (I will be up early to cheer my girl @thereshegoesagn on! 🙌🏾). But even if you don’t get up early enough to enjoy this sight, the fall colors are here to take your breath away too. 🍁🍂

Yay! It’s officially autumn, my absolute favorit Yay! It’s officially autumn, my absolute favorite season especially since moving to the Finger Lakes! Harvest has already started and soon everything will be colorful with a warm glow. 🍂🍁🎃 Have you visited the region in the fall?

Cheers to another beautiful day at work where I ge Cheers to another beautiful day at work where I get to discover new and beautiful things! Though Hector Falls is not a new find for me, this unique perspective is only possible with a tour with Falling Waters Boat Tours in Burdett, NY. The 1.5 to 2hr tour on Seneca Lake is followed by wine and cheese at the base, and up close and personal to Hector Falls. Tours book from May till mid-October!

Thank you to owner Fred Grabosky for this unique experience. 

Life is so good in the Finger Lakes!

Harvest season is well on its way and what better Harvest season is well on its way and what better way to celebrate it all than with a festival? Harvest Fest in Corning, NY kicked off yesterday Friday and the festivities will continue all throughout today, Saturday, Sept 16.

We indulged in all the goodness - apple cinnamon donuts, still warm and melty with every bite, live music while perusing what local farmers were offering at their stands, as well as artisans and other vendors, and so much more.

But my favorite was strolling through the festivities in this small town while enjoying the slightly crisp air and that fall glow that takes over and makes everything feel extra pretty and cozy, making my autumn-loving heart so happy.

Fall in the Finger Lakes is truly magical so if you’re in the area, check out the festival (or mark your calendar for next year!), and if you love all things fall, you’ll want to plan a visit this season. Can’t wait to share more fall happenings with you!
