Hello, and welcome to Ellie & Co: A Far Out Travel Guide. If this your first time checking in here, we’re glad you chose to stay with us and we’re looking forward to hosting you. To help you settle in, let us give you a quick introductory tour.
For those who’ve never been here, Ellie & Co is a travel website based in the creative city of Brighton on England’s south coast. It’s the place for those who enjoy authentic, local recommendations, visiting unsung destinations and twists on better known ones.
As you can see from the menu above, we wanted to have fun with our travel-themed site, so it’s organised like a hotel: there’s a ‘check-in’ desk for welcome tours; a ‘concierge’ for travel stories; ‘room service’ for travel-related lifestyle posts; the ‘hotel bar’ for reminiscing, people watching and gossiping; and a ‘gift shop’ for souvenirs. Here’s your welcome pack so you don’t forget:
