Announcement!

Full-Time Media

The popular travel channel expands luxury lifestyle network with three new channels dedicated to adventure, hospitality and design

Full-Time Travel announces the launch of Full-Time Media, a multifaceted content studio that welcomes additional lifestyle channels: Full-Time Explore, Full-Time Hotels and Full-Time Design. The company announces that they will be changing our business name on Facebook from Visuals of Life to also be Full-Time Explore. Full-Time Media’s social-first formula melds high-impact visuals with lifestyle journalism. 

“Content is currency,” said Matt Carroll, Co-Founder & Partner. “Today’s consumer wants to be part of the conversation and they prefer storytelling with a real point of view and helpful reader service.” Co-Founder Nick Van Sicklen adds, “We sit at the intersection of professional editorial and social conversation—exactly where our audience is”

Full-Time, which launched in 2018, now reaches more than 1MM followers across Instagram and Facebook and over 250MM followers across its creator network. Full-Time Travel also communicates two times a week with more than 75K email subscribers. This month, the company unveiled a dynamic user-friendly website to display its owned and custom content. Full-Time Travel pinpoints destinations worth wanderlusting over with new hotels, art exhibits and buzzy openings. Most recently, editors highlighted Flims, Switzerland; Uruguayan wine country and Tasmania as three spots worth visiting. 

New channels will follow suit with Full-Time Style, expected to launch later this Spring.  

Carroll and Van Sicklen, who held various roles at American Express Publishing, Modern Luxury, Robb Report, Travel + Leisure, Food & Wine and Wallpaper*, have aligned an elite team of publishing and media veterans under their leadership, including Co-Founder and Chief Content Officer, Gabrielle Blitz Rosen, who previously oversaw social development at Travel + Leisure and served as Chief Digital Officer of Beautiful Destinations before launching her own business, Townhouse Digital; and Randy Pease, Managing Director, who previously led ad operations, account management and creative services at Time Inc. Co-Founder and Chief Content Officer Blitz Rosen adds, “Ever-changing media habits demand a dynamic and immensely innovative presence. Full-Time Travel is focused on pairing beautiful content with quality travel intel and serving it on the platforms you frequent most.”

The following channels are under the Full-Time Media umbrella:

@Full-Time Travel: Bringing inspiration and clarity to a new generation of travelers

@Full-Time Hotels: Highlighting the best hotels and properties around the globe

@Full-Time Design: Sharing inspiration, trends and ingenuity with the design-obsessed

Some of our favorite historic properties—including the delcoronado in San Diego—are said to be haunted by the ghosts of guests past. In the case of the Del, the spirit of Kate Morgan, who checked into the iconic resort in 1892, is believed to have never left. (Though with some of the best beachfront access anywhere in California, we can’t say we blame her for wanting to stay at the property forever.) Tell us, would you stay at a haunted hotel?

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: biking is one of the best ways to explore destinations both new and familiar. 🚴🏽‍♀️ And viceroyhotels seems to agree. The hotel group has just launched a selection of curated routes out of its hotels in Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington D.C., and the Algarve, Portugal, with cycling brand Rapha. Designed for serious bikers and leisurely riders alike, each guided route is designed to get lost in the hidden corners of each destination and connect with local communities in a way you can’t on four wheels.

You’ve heard of Michelin Stars, but what about Michelin Keys? Earlier this month, Michelin awarded its second-ever group of Keys to outstanding hotels and resorts in over 100 countries across every continent (save Antarctica). Included on the list with a top three-Key designation is South Africa’s stunning royalmalewane — which debuted the new Masiya’s Camp, pictured here, earlier this year.

Check the link in our bio for the full list of newly keyed properties…and while you’re there, sign up for our newsletter: more bucket-list worthy hotel recommendations are coming your way later this week.
