Focus Topics:

Responsible Tourism & Travel: No matter where or what travel experiences we’re having, our main concern is always traveling smarter and more responsibly. We have a sub section on the site called Get Involved that also highlights responsible projects and initiatives making the world a better place. Epicure & Culture’s founder, Jessica Festa, is also the founder of the Responsible Travel + Tourism Collective and the Assistant Media Network Coordinator for the Travel+SocialGood Media Network.

Transformative Travel: Moving personal reflections and insights from experiences on the road.

Responsible AccommodationWe love highlighting experiential accommodation that functions in a responsible manner and immerses guests in local culture.

WomenWe love highlighting extraordinary and inspiring women making strides in responsible tourism and social good.

Food & Drink: One of our favorite ways to explore a destination is through the food and drink, especially interesting concept eateries, venues with ethical twists and those pioneering unique trends. Epicure & Culture founder Jessica Festa is a certified sommelier.

Recipes: Epicure & Culture showcases their recipes in a unique way, as each is written with a story of the dish’s cultural background or the author’s special connection to it. So, while a recipe for ravani wouldn’t be published, a story on ravani that traces its Middle Eastern roots and includes a recipe would be perfect.

Art & Culture: No trip to any destination would be complete without experiencing the local culture. We enjoy featuring immersive cultural experiences in a narrative, enlightening manner.

  1. Hello Epicure & Culture team,

    My name is Leanne, I’m the PR & marketing manager of The Karry, a luxury eco-friendly travel accessory brand.

    I’ve been working on an article titled Eco-Friendly Travel Packing List for Sustainable Travellers with expert insight from our founder, which I think could be potentially a great fit for your readers.

    We’d love to publish on your website and help promote it through our mailing list subscribers and social media followers.

    Despite just starting out we’ve gained positive traction. The Karry recently won “editor’s choice” at the Beauty Choice awards and we’ve been featured in Stylist, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Country & Town House and Vanity Fair. We have also collaborated with beauty industry heavyweights such as Susannah Taylor (Beauty Columnist Telegraph), Lisa Oxenham (Marie Claire’s Beauty and Style Director), Alice Hart Davis of The Tweakments Guide and Keeks Reid (This Morning’s Beauty Editor).

    Are accepting content from guest contributors?

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    All the best,
    Leanne
    Marketing Manager
