Work With Me

Thanks for your interest in working together!

It’s exciting to be a creator in the travel industry! From creating engaging content on social media to publishing blog posts that rank high on search engines, I have many outlets that allow me to share travel tips, inspiration, and ideas with others.

As a travel blogger, I’m all about helping people discover their inner explorer. My goal is to inspire others to venture into the unknown – embracing change, challenging their beliefs, and discovering the deepest parts of themselves and the world around them. There’s so much more to traveling than just getting good Instagram photos. It’s the learning, growth, and adventure that excite me the most.

Through experiential and transformational travel experiences, I show my audience how to travel with intention and purpose. I like to show them what’s possible, and how to find meaning and fulfillment in their own journeys. After all, each of us has a curious and adventurous side. My goal is to help people connect with that part of themselves and exude a sense of child-like wonder when they travel. Below are some ways you can work with me in accomplishing this mission:

Here are all the different ways you can work with me in 2022 (and beyond!)

Collaborations with retreat centers (and hosts)

Over the past year, I have focused much of my attention on wellness retreats and other “intentional” getaways. I’ve participated in over 12 retreats, covering everything from fitness and meditation to business mindset and emotional-based activities. 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

Partnerships with destinations and brands

During my journey as a travel blogger and photographer, I’ve partnered with a variety of brands and destinations that genuinely align with my interests and excite my audience. I always ensure the products, services, tour companies, and destinations I work with offer value to my community. As a trusted advisor in the travel industry, I strive to inspire others to live a life of passion, adventure, and continuous learning. My partnerships always reflect that.

The main focus of my blog and social media pages is to showcase unique places and experiences around the globe. This entails off-the-beaten-path destinations and cultural, natural, and historic treasures. I rarely seek out “touristy” places unless I genuinely feel that the ‘uniqueness’ outweighs the hefty crowds. Please keep that in mind as you consider a partnership opportunity with me 🙂

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.

In the past year alone, I have invested over $100,000 of my own money on personal development – attending countless retreats and seminars and practicing many alternative modalities like cold immersion, meditation, breathwork, and vibrational sound healing. I’ve also spent thousands of hours reading books, listening to podcasts, and visiting over 50 countries around the world. Having built one of the world’s most successful travel blogs entirely from scratch and weathering out many storms along the way, I know a thing or two about transformation.

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, and I’m not interested in long-term commitments. If I do my job correctly, you won’t need to keep coming back to me after a few sessions.

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 created an online travel community of over 1M followers/subscribers entirely on my own. I have more than 45 videos with over 1 million views, and over 250 articles indexed on page 1 of Google. Some of my top-performing articles include Best Travel Quotes, The Ultimate Travel Bucket List, Beautiful Cities in Europe, Best Hidden Vacation Spots in the US, and Hidden Gems in Europe, where I garner thousands of organic hits each day.

During the past 6 years, I’ve spent thousands of hours (and lots of late nights) learning and executing best practices for travel blogging and photography. I’d love to share my insights with you and help you grow your digital brand quicker!

Here are some of the services I provide:

• 1-1 mentorship: (i.e. Zoom, Skype or FaceTime, phone calls, etc.). $500/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. $1000

• Gap Analysis: A report detailing the “gaps” between where you are now and where you want to get to. This includes best practice recommendations and objectives on “how to get there.” $1000

• Specific templates: (A.) Writing emails to brands (B.) Creating a media kit. $300

Please note: Mentorship opportunities are limited due to my extensive travel and other projects. I prioritize the following groups for mentorship sessions:

Aspiring travel bloggers
Travel photographers
Entrepreneurs who are travel-focused
Travel influencers
Social media managers who represent brands related to tourism

Thanks again for your interest in working together. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

About Jon Miksis

Award-winning Travel Writer • Founder of Global Viewpoint • 70+ countries visited • 10 Million+ readers

Since 2017, I’ve traveled 3–6 months a year, sharing detailed guides that have helped over 10 million readers travel smarter, deeper, and better. My work blends firsthand experiences — from U.S. road trips and cold-plunge cabins to Michelin-starred dining and business-class flights — with honest, independent reviews.

I’ve been hired by leading tourism boards in 7 countries across Europe, North America, and South America, as well as international travel brands. My travel tips and insights have been featured in Forbes, HuffPost, Yahoo Travel, and The Boston Globe. I’ve personally reviewed 500+ hotels, retreats, and flight experiences — and I never recommend a place I wouldn’t return to myself.

I also save $5–10K per year on airfare using flight tools and 10+ travel credit cards, and I’ve invested over $100K into personal development through transformational retreats and coaching since 2021.

When I’m not road-tripping across the Northeast or writing guides for Global Viewpoint, you’ll find me cold plunging in local lakes, sipping espresso in quiet cafes in Vienna, or chasing fall foliage across New England. I split my time between exploring the world and soaking up life in Boston, my lifelong home base. Some of my favorite places I keep going back to? Switzerland, Spain, Iceland, Italy, Greece, the Faroe Islands, Guatemala, California, Montana, Vermont, and coastal Maine in autumn.
