about KELSEY IN LONDON

Nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kelsey 🙂 I’m a London-based travel blogger and photographer. I’m often described as the internet’s older sister. Not only will I make you laugh, I have the confidence and courage to be direct with you, and I promise to only ever share my honest thoughts – like I would with my siblings or best friend. And I’ll be there to lift you up when you need it the most.

My mission isn’t just to showcase unique and breathtaking destinations, hotels, and restaurants, I also want to encourage you to live your best life possible! Whether that’s inspiring you to book a solo trip, pick up a camera, or by giving you a much-needed kick up your bum to go and apply for your dream job.

My passion is to help others, particularly women in the creative industry. I’m the founder of Creative Gal Gang, a not-for-profit community that has grown to over 7000 members. This empowering space unites female creatives, including content creators, photographers, models, writers, and a myriad of talented individuals from the UK. It’s free to join, click here to become a member, we’d love to have you!

Kelsey in London started in 2016 when I yeeted myself from sunny Australia, all the way to the cold, miserable, and wet city I now call home, London. Except, it doesn’t actually rain that much here and I have truthfully fallen head over heels in love with England’s capital. Living in London opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me, in work, in love, and the endless possibilities of travel. I truly couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.

I’ve worked in the creative industry for over 15 years, with a background in graphic design, photography, and marketing. 20 years if you count teaching myself how to code thanks to MySpace. So naturally, I’ve always had an eye for aesthetically pleasing things and began sharing photos from my European adventures online. 

While originally my Instagram may have started as a digital dumping ground for my pixelated selfies from my iPhone 4, nowadays I have an audience of over 1 million travel-obsessed individuals across my social media pages and blog. Fortunately for you guys, I’ve since upgraded my camera and take pride in creating shareable and saveable travel guides to add to your ever-growing bucket list.

I finally ticked off staying at one of the most iconic resorts in Dubai, and @atlantisthepalm definitely lived up to the hype! Located on The Palm, this spot is perfect if you’re after a more relaxed, resort-style stay. It’s perfect for a drop & flop holiday where you truly have everything you need at the resort… though of course there’s SO much to do & see in Dubai!

I spent my afternoons lounging at @whitebeach – an adults-only beach club with two swimming pools (including an infinity pool overlooking the sea) with lots of sun loungers, as well as private cabanas that have their own mini pools. The boho restaurant here serves a range of cuisines from Mediterranean classics to spicy salmon tacos and signature maki rolls. 

Dinner at @studiofrantzendubai was hands down my fave meal in Dubai – every bite was literal perfection. The Scandinavian sashimi was bright and citrusy, the A5 Wagyu melted in my mouth, and yet another standout was actually the welcoming dish, a warm laminated milk bread with blond miso butter & ghaf honey, it was divine! 

I also dined at @seafiresteakhouse, where you literally pick your own steak knife! I, of course, selected the Australian “Crocodile Dundee” knife, although their velvety soft A5 Japanese Wagyu could have easily been sliced with a butter knife. 

And while Atlantis The Palm is famous for being a kids-friendly hotel, I also embraced my inner child with visits to @aquaventureworld and The Lost Chambers Aquarium — both are included with your stay and make you feel like you’ve wandered into the animated Atlantis: The Lost Empire. 🐠

And to end my stay on a literal high, we took to the sky with @thedubaiballoon at Atlantis The Palm on our last morning. If you’ve never been in a hot air balloon before, this is the perfect intro — super gentle, totally secure, and an unforgettable way to take in the Dubai skyline. Watching the sunrise over The Palm while the city was still asleep was a new core memory. 🌅

ad ☀️ Weekend in Saint-Tropez ⬇️🇫🇷

I’ve just come back from a weekend in the south of France that altered by brain chemistry, this bucket list trip was made even more special with a truly unforgettable journey with @wheelsup 🛩️

We departed London aboard the Challenger 300, one of the newest (and sleekest) jets in the Wheels Up fleet. Champagne flowed, gourmet platters were passed around, and coastal views poured through oversized windows as we drifted above the English Channel. Upon landing in Toulon, we boarded a helicopter transfer and were whisked to Saint-Tropez in mere minutes – the most seamless and luxurious journey I’ve ever experienced.

Our days were spent basking in the golden light of Saint-Tropez harbour, treasure hunting through Place des Lices Markets, poolside at the breathtaking Arev St. Tropez, and sipping biodynamic rosé at Fondugues-Pradugues – a vineyard that feels like a well-kept secret. We dined slowly, the way one should in Provence, discovering sun-drenched cuisine at its finest.

Normally, leaving a holiday is the hardest part – but flying home with Wheels Up felt like an effortless extension of the getaway itself. Reclining in a leather seat with a glass of rosé in hand, gliding above the glittering Côte d’Azur, it was less of a departure and more of a gentle return to reality.
