About Mariee Travel

Hi! My name’s Hannah Marie and I’m the blogger and creator behind Mariee Travel. I’m passionate about travel and I love sharing guides, tips and resources to help people plan their dream honeymoon.

Before becoming a professional travel agent, I worked as a wedding magazine editor and it was a dream job. Everything about my work was amazing, but the thing I loved the most was writing about honeymoons each and every day!

Throughout my career, I’ve written hundreds of honeymoon features as well as luxury travel articles for the UK’s biggest wedding and lifestyle magazines. 

To say I’m obsessed with honeymoons is an understatement. I love researching, reviewing and talking about the world’s best and most romantic places…

That’s why I created this blog – to share more of my honeymoon knowledge + to help others book their trip of a lifetime!

What to expect from Mariee Travel

There are a lot of travel and honeymoon blogs around so I’m really grateful that you’ve taken the time to explore MT.

I know how important it is to get all the details right when you’re planning your honeymoon. But I also get that there’s a TON of information out there and it can be overwhelming and complicated to plan and book the best trip possible.

Because of that, I wanted to make Mariee Travel a little different to what’s already available. Unlike sites that focus on every honeymoon destination under the sun, MT focuses on the truly bucket list and unforgettable destinations…

For us, this means the wild, remote and insanely beautiful places surrounded by nature. You’ll find that most of the content on this site is dedicated to nature-based honeymoons where you can really lose yourself in the beauty of your surroundings.

That said, luxury is key at Mariee Travel – because if there’s one time to splash out, it’s on your honeymoon! We’re not here for basic or budget choices – we’re here for the absolute best of the best 😍

So if you

• …are recently engaged and planning to spend $15k+ on a luxury honeymoon
• …are struggling to figure out where you should go on your once-in-a-lifetime getaway
• … & you want insider honeymoon tips, five-star itinerary ideas and bucket list inspiration

…you’re in the right place!

Why trust me?

From mini-breaks to month-long adventures, I’ve always been hooked on travel. 

I’m the kind of person who thrives on planning trips. I actually love researching and planning vacations and discovering the best things to see, do and experience in every destination.

As well as writing travel articles and features for a load of trusted brands, in 2025, I began working as a travel agent at one of the UK’s leading independent travel agents.

Not only do I book dream holidays for my customers, but I’ve planned and booked all of my own trips, too. When I was 20, I started checking off my top bucket list destinations – my favourite place I visited then was Thailand, but I also spent 5 weeks in Australia, a month in New Zealand and volunteered and island hopped in Fiji, too. 

Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to go on luxury vacations across five continents, as well as review and write about some of the most unbelievable honeymoon hotels and paradise locations.

Some of my top travel experiences include:

✔️ Staying in a five-star safari lodge in South Africa
✔️ Trekking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in New Zealand
✔️ Renting a luxury private pool villa in rural Bali
✔️ Visiting Barbados for Crop Over Festival 
✔️ Sleeping in a floating bungalow in Thailand’s Khao Sok National Park
✔️ Sailing around Australia’s Whitsunday Islands 

Mariee Travel was born with all this in mind!

In 2022, when I lost my magazine job to the pandemic, I didn’t want to give up writing about travel. I wanted to create a blog that’s a celebration of the very best that this beautiful world has to offer.

A site that’s dedicated to the crazy-amazing adventures: The dream bucket list destinations. The splurge-worthy experiences where you have “pinch-me” moments over and over again. And of course, the once-in-a-lifetime honeymoons that you can’t wait to treat yourself to.

I love writing about travel and sharing my favourite honeymoon destinations, tips and recommendations so you can make your dreams a reality!

It’s also super important to me that the content we provide is actually valuable, so:

• Every recommendation and guide on this site is rooted in real stays or thorough research. 
• As a travel agent, I stay on top of travel trends, resort openings and I know exactly what real honeymooners and travellers are looking for. The advice you get on MT is always current, relevant and backed by professional travel expertise!
• I’ve explored resorts and honeymoon destinations across 5 continents and I’ve worked in travel for years, so I know what works – and what doesn’t – when it comes to romantic getaways.
• Transparency is one of my highest priorities, so you’ll get balanced information to help you make the best decision for you. We also publish author bios, so you can see who researched and crafted the content that you’re reading.

I hope you find this blog inspiring and that it’s helpful as you plan the kind of trip you’ve always dreamed of. Browse our guides, use them to plan your trip, and if you want: drop me a message. I’d love to help you create something magical that you’ll remember forever.
