Jess Underwood worked in tourism marketing for the best part of eight years before going freelance. She started at a regional tourism board producing destination guides, moved to a hotel chain's content team, and spent her last corporate years running social campaigns for a travel booking platform where everything was 'curated' and nothing was honest. She writes about family travel, accessible breaks, budget weekends, and the England that exists between the Instagram spots. She is interested in the places people actually go, not the places they photograph. Jess lives in Somerset with her partner and two children. She has visited enough soft play centres to consider them a form of endurance sport.
