As travelers search for information on the travel guide it also provides travel business a way to grow their visibility.

We mainly travel as a team with Clas, my husband. I’m the writer and Clas the photographer:

About Routes and Trips

As we all know, trips often require a huge amount of planning, and our mission is to make that easier for travelers.

Travelers looking for information at the annual MATKA Fair of Helsinki, Finland

First you have to find out where to go, then put the place on the map and figure out how to get there and where to stay overnight. You will have to imagine what the place really is like. Is it really worth my time and money, am I going to like it or not?

The idea of Routes and Trips is to show travel destinations, and give ideas for day trips and travel itineraries out from those destinations.

You can take a bus tour or make day trips on your own, just look at our photos and follow our itineraries. All trips are shown on interactive Google maps, just use them and enjoy!

The Way We Work

Looking for places to go in the Himalayas

To tell you how we work:

We first come and visit your destination, after which
We return home, start working and then report our destination experience to the world.
To show what it really was like there we always use loads of inspiring photos. And to even more help our travelers we mark sights, itineraries and other things of interest on Google Maps.

Both Short and Long Term Visibility

So, Routes and Trips Travel Guide contents will appear on our website and stay there for the next years to come to improve your long-term visibility. Of course the information will be updated when needed.
Our travel articles will be found in Google search results, for months and years, and consequently be read by thousands and thousands of travelers as they search for travel ideas.
We also use social media, every day during the trip and even afterwards. That all gives you a strong short term exposure. But remember, when a permanent travel website lasts for ages, social media posts only live for hours.

The Audience

Our audience is global and covers all continents. Before the covid years, Routes and Trips Travel Guide used to have up to 25 000 readers a month, coming from all age groups but especially the wealthy 50+ (as we, too, belong to that age group). Today the numbers are a lot lower as particularly the older age group hasn’t really started travel yet.

Our audience is interested in things like travel, beach, nature, hikes, flights, car rentals, hotels.
