As I mentioned in November, I’ve been super busy throughout the second half of 2014 doing a ton of work for TripAdvisor. From my list of the Best Beaches Around Hawaii to my Holiday and New Year’s guides to London (with a bunch more recs, lists and itineraries jam-packed between), I’ve been having a blast contributing to one of the world’s most useful online resources for travel. Definitely the most interesting of all these undertakings has been the Neighborhoods project for the TripAdvisor app.
If you take a look at the London section of the app (which is free to download and available for iOS and Android phones and iOS, Android and Windows tablets), you’ll see a Neighborhoods feature with observations, maps, and lots of photos to help folks make more considered choices for their London visit. The selection of neighborhoods (there are 25 “must-see” areas identified for London), the pithy wordage about ‘em, the mapping, and the vast majority of the shots are all my handiwork.
I really enjoyed writing about London on such a scale while keeping TripAdvisor’s broad readership in mind. And roaming round London – from Belgravia to Whitechapel – to shoot street photography for the app was a pretty near ideal way for me to spend my time (especially during billable hours) .
The app offers the same sort of insight for other destinations as well with plenty more in the pipeline; I’m helping out with the content for the Istanbul and Amsterdam neighborhoods features too. More to come!
