We're thrilled to share some exciting news! Our founders, James and Heather Hills, were recently featured in The Toledo Blade, highlighting the success of our travel blogging empire and the unique value we bring to the travel industry through our portfolio of brands including ManTripping.com, CouplePlaces.com, and CruiseWestCoast.com.
The feature, written by Jason Webber, spotlights how our husband-and-wife team has built a thriving digital media business from right here in Toledo, Ohio. James, recognized by L.A. Weekly as a "Top Travel Blogger to Watch in 2023" and by Muck Rack as a "Top Outdoor Journalist for 2022," shared insights about the genesis of ManTripping.com, noting the gap in the market for quality men's travel content.
"There's a lot of women's travel stuff out there, but nothing really for dudes," James explained in the interview. "I realized there had to be an opportunity for guys to just wanna have fun with a bunch of other guys, but not worrying about getting in trouble with their wives and partners."
The article also highlighted Heather's crucial role in the business, managing the travel planning side of our operations. Her expertise spans from luxury ocean cruises to European river voyages, helping countless travelers experience the destinations we feature across our platforms. Their synergy as business partners is evident in Heather's words: "We've worked together so long I can't imagine doing things without him."
What makes this feature particularly special is how it emphasizes our commitment to authentic, quality content while showcasing Toledo as our home base. As James pointed out in the article, Toledo offers not just an affordable business environment but also its own exciting discoveries, from great museums to impressive art venues.
This recognition from The Toledo Blade validates our mission at Flow Media Marketing: to create compelling travel content that resonates with distinct audiences while helping people plan unforgettable journeys. Whether it's through ManTripping.com's focus on male-oriented travel, CouplePlaces.com's romantic getaways, or CruiseWestCoast.com's specialized cruise content, we're proud to continue serving our readers and clients with authentic travel experiences and expert guidance.
We're grateful to The Toledo Blade and Jason Webber for sharing our story, and we're excited to continue growing our digital media presence while calling Toledo our home. Here's to many more adventures ahead!
