About Us

Mr & Mrs W From FlyDriveExplore

We are Mr and Mrs W, a married couple from a little seaside town in South Wales, United Kingdom. This blog is about our adventures, our travels, our explorations, our fun, our laughs, our experiences and hopefully not too many arguments. Come along for the ride!

We are pleased to announce that FlyDriveExplore is a Backpacking Free Zone!

Mr W doesn’t suffer fools gladly and says it like it is. He is adventurous and has a dry sense of humour. Passions include luxury travel, style, Formula 1 and learning to fly. Always happy when he’s spending money, his favourite destinations include Las Vegas, New York and Tenby.
Funniest travel quote whilst in an alligator-infested swamp, “Watch out for the menacing budgies!“.

Mrs W is outgoing, fun and extremely passionate about travel, which is at odds with her fear of flying! She adores good food and great service, whether that is a Michelin star restaurant or a simple rustic cafe. She is always happy when she is getting value for money.
Favourite destinations include California, Florida and Amsterdam. Funniest travel quote, “Is Hungary in Budapest?”

We hope our blog will be informative, fun, and full of the stuff you really want to know. The perfect spot to get that must have photo, and what attractions you really shouldn’t miss. Which local dishes you really must try and where to find the best happy hours. The travel apps we really rate, and what items we wouldn’t travel without. How to book the cheapest DIY holidays and where to get the best package deals. We don’t profess to be experts but we research each destination thoroughly as we don’t want to miss out on every eye-popping, spine-tingling, camera clicking experience. We will even show you our fridge magnets!

Brand Collaborations

We have also covered press trips to Doha, St Augustine Florida, Guernsey, Wales, Basingstoke, St Ives and South Devon in England, Hamburg Germany, and the Castellon region of Spain, and are used to providing social media content on the go, as well as video content and blog posts promoting cites, regions and attractions.

Tatjana Büchler, Come To Hamburg – “We really loved the professionalism of Mellissa and Marcus – they covered their stay extensively and put a lot of heart and thought into their posts. The social media content, the video content as well as the blog content fully met our expectations and even exceeded the coverage which we ask them to deliver. Keep up the good work, you two. We would love to have you again. The Come to Hamburg team.”

Mellony Kirby, Director at Cofton Holidays – “Mellissa and Marcus were a pleasure to host here at Cofton Holidays. Mellissa was really easy to communicate with before the trip and we were impressed by her professionalism. Mellissa generated some fantastic social media coverage and engagement for us including daily Instagram Stories and plenty of tweets, even after her stay. The video review was of high-quality and covered everything from the decoration of our luxury apartments to the great facilities we have on-site.”

We were pleased to have been featured on the Expedia and Thomas Cook websites.
