I’m Jon Miksis, the Boston-based traveler behind Global Viewpoint. I work with destinations, unique stays, retreats, and travel brands that I’m excited to experience and share with my audience.
Beautiful places in nature, memorable adventures, and communities that bring interesting people together are what excite me most. There’s so much more to travel than getting good Instagram photos. It’s the learning, growth, and connection that keep me coming back.
My favorite collaborations give me time to experience a place firsthand: stay at the property, join the retreat, work from the coliving space, and meet the people behind it. That’s where I find the stories, original photos, and practical details that help readers decide whether it’s right for them.
Audience snapshot: early 2026
Here’s a look at Global Viewpoint across my website and social channels during a strong period earlier in 2026. The screenshots below show each platform’s results.
Partnerships with destinations and brands
As a travel blogger and photographer, I’ve partnered with brands and destinations that genuinely align with my interests. Depending on the project, we can create a detailed article, original photography, videos for Instagram and TikTok, or a combination.
What I look for in a partner: My content focuses on unique destinations and immersive stays that allow travelers to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature. I’m all about mindfulness, high vibe destinations, and unique, life-changing experiences. I am currently prioritizing partnerships with:
- High-End Landscape Hotels: Properties deeply immersed in their environment with epic views (e.g., glass igloos, luxury treehouses, cliffside villas).
- Unique Cultural Experiences: Lesser-known regions and UNESCO sites that offer authentic connection rather than manufactured tourism. I also love showcasing destinations that have recently opened up for tourism (e.g. Uzbekistan), which have a lot to offer my community.
- Outdoor & Adventure: Destinations that offer access to hiking, climbing, or unique landscapes.
- Retreats & Coliving: Places where I can join the activities, work remotely, and get to know the community.
I’m especially drawn to places with a strong sense of character, beautiful surroundings, and people who care about what they’re creating.
What we can create together
- Firsthand editorial coverage: An original article with my own photos, personal observations, and the details travelers want to know before booking.
- Article and social campaign: Written coverage alongside agreed videos, Stories, or other social content.
- Photography and video for your channels: Original content for your team, with the deliverables and usage agreed together.
A few examples of my work
- The Nomad Escape in Madeira: My experience joining a business retreat and Nomad Island Fest, with a closer look at the people and activities.
- Miraval Berkshires: A firsthand look at a three-night stay, from the rooms and food to the activities I tried.
- Sacramento with Globus: What I discovered during two days in the city as part of a Northern California trip.
Travelers discover places through Google, social media, and increasingly through AI search. My focus is creating original photos and useful stories from time spent there, giving people something they can return to when they’re planning their own trip.

Collaborations with retreat centers (and hosts)
Alongside destination travel, I have focused much of my attention on wellness retreats and other “intentional” getaways. I’ve participated in over 20 retreats, covering everything from fitness and meditation to business mindset and emotional-based activities. I’ve also helped facilitate 5 retreats in Sweden, Iceland, and Sedona. Though I still enjoy the leisure side of travel, I’m most interested in group trips oriented towards personal and professional development.
I consider myself to be a spiritual yet grounded person. So I tend to gravitate towards retreat experiences that attract curious, motivated, disciplined, and high-energy individuals.
As part of my inner journey, I have partnered with retreat centers, retreat hosts, and remote work programs that cultivate these types of unique experiences. If you’re in the retreat space, here’s how we can work together:
- Creating photo, video, and written content about retreats
- Providing social media and blog coverage of retreat experiences
- Participating in retreats as a practitioner and/or guest speaker
- Advertising upcoming retreats
- Giving feedback and best practice recommendations to enhance retreat programs
Another Way to Work with Me: SEO and Social Media Mentorship
In addition to my role as a content creator, I provide consulting services and mentorship to those who seek it. My specialties include social media strategy, brand collaborations, and search engine optimization (SEO).
I’ve been building Global Viewpoint since 2017. My consulting draws on that hands-on experience creating travel content, growing social channels, and working with brands.
Here are some of the services I provide:
- 1-1 mentorship: (i.e. Zoom, Skype or FaceTime, phone calls, etc.). $550/hour
- Social media website audit: Leveraging my experience, expertise and tools, I’ll take a deep look at your website and social channels to identify opportunities for growth. $4,500
- Gap Analysis: A report detailing the “gaps” between where you are now and where you want to get to. $3,700
- Specific templates: (A.) Writing emails to brands (B.) Creating a media kit. $299
For Airbnb Hosts: Listing Optimization
If you own a vacation rental, unique stay, or Airbnb, I also offer specialized consulting to help you fix your listings and attract more bookings.
Through my platform, The AI Hustle Guy, I help hosts leverage modern tools to optimize their property descriptions, improve their photo strategy, and rank higher in search results. Whether you have a single glamping tent or a portfolio of properties, I can help you treat your listing like a business.
Transformational Life Coaching
Since I began travel blogging, I’ve always wanted to inspire people. However, during these challenging and unprecedented times, I’ve felt a calling to help people. This has prompted me to get into transformational coaching.
Note that I am extremely selective about who I work with. One of my most important values is freedom, so I am reluctant to have more than a couple of clients at a time.
Check out my transformational life coaching page if you’re interested in learning more about how I help others achieve personal freedom and transformation.
Thanks again for your interest in working together. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
