ABOUT ME
I’m Keyta, welcome to my website.
I was born and raised in a tiny Cornish village by the seaside. Having parents from opposite sides of the world instilled a great love for travel and adventure in me. Over the years I’ve lived in eight different locations, backpacked solo as a uni student, volunteered as and English teacher in Thailand, road tripped around New Zealand, lived a fast-paced city life in Dubai and of course started this blog which has taken me across the world. Thanks for tagging along for the ride, it’s great to have you.
For female and fashion-related content, head over to my YouTube channel or my TikTok.
ABOUT THIS WEBSITE
Originally named ‘The Wayfarer’, I launched this blog back in 2014 whilst at university. Through this, I have had the privilege of collaborating with some of the biggest names in the travel and lifestyle industries, including KLM, Air France, Skype, Lebua Hotels and Resorts and many more. It has taken me around the world on press trips and paved the way for my career in digital marketing and writing.
Some of the main blogging highlights include producing exclusive behing the scenes coverage of KLM’s Social Media Hub at its headquarters at Schiphol Airport, covering and getting involved with the SAME Forum at the House of Commons and working with a number of tourism boards to produce content for this website.
For me, blogging and content creation will always remain a passion project. It always puts a massive smile on my face when someone lets me know that my content inspired them to try something new.
WORK WITH ME
There are many ways in which we can work together. I offer digital marketing services for premium brands through Worldex Media. I can also be comissioned for written peices, having been published on Manchester Evening News, Time Out Dubai, Time Out Abu Dhabi, Flight Centre UK, Round the World Experts, Destination2, Holiday Gems, Cornwall Living, Falmouth Packet and many more.
I have had the pleasure of interviewing Sting, Robbie Williams, Jack Dee and Jo Koy. As part of the Expert Traveller series I produced for this website, I interviewed the likes of Rajan Datar who reports for the BBC Travel Show and Lufthansa pilot and aviation influencer, Felix Gottwald.
I also offer sponsored and editorial coverage on KeytaHawkins.com.

Life lately #8
It's hard to believe that there are just five weeks left of 2022 - this year felt like it has flown by. Moreover, that Christmas is right around the corner. This year, I am grateful to get to spend the festive season with my parents, having not been able to due to...
The best pools in Dubai
Sometimes, a bit of rest and relaxation by the pool is just the ticket. There are swimming pools aplenty in Dubai - most residential buildings are kitted out with luxury swimming pools and it goes without saying that this is also the case for pretty much all of the...
Top 10 sky bars across the world
If there’s one thing that I love to do when I am playing tourist (especially in a new city), it's to go to a sky bar and can take in the lay of the land from on-high. Over the years I have been lucky enough to visit a fair few so I thought I would compile a roundup of...
Exploring the UAE
The UAE is an incredible destination. Though Dubai tends to get the lion’s share of the spotlight when it comes to international tourism, there is plenty to see and do in the UAE’s other emirates. I have put together a roundup of some of my favourite highlights...
A weekend at Thornbury Castle
I had the privilege of spending the weekend at Thornbury Castle in Bristol during the summer months. Staying in a castle was definitely something to cross off the bucket list, especially as I am someone who adores historic architecture. Dating back to the 1500s,...

Having lived up North (many moons ago), over the years I have been lucky enough to get a taste of what the region has to offer in the culinary department. Whether you are fortunate enough to call the North your home or are simply planning a trip there in the future, I...
Ultimate guide to Dubai
Dubai is a place that I have lived in and loved and so I thought it would only be fair to share some of my favourite places and things to do in the emirate. I feel like I really made the most of my time out there to experience as much of it as possible, so I want to...
Life Lately #7
This 'life lately' instalment is long overdue. For whatever reason, the compulsion to write had just passed me by until now. It has been an interesting few months. I feel like summer came and went in the blink of an eye, as is often the case here in Britain. I am...
Life lately #6
What a wonderful month July was. Some of its sun-drenched moments were the stuff of dreams, exactly what we romanticise British summertime to be about. The month's main highlight being a long-overdue trip to Cornwall, specifically my home village. I feel like the...
Tenby – Wales
Since I got back from Dubai, I have been making a conscious effort to see parts of the UK that I have yet to explore in any meaningful detail. South Wales in particular is one destination that I have been focussing on discovering and there was one place in particular...
Top 10 unmissable attractions in Cornwall
My favourite place in the world will always be Cornwall. Admittedly, I am somewhat biassed having grown up there but even so, I am convinced this would be the case regardless. Cornwall brings a combination of coast, countryside and culture giving it unmissable...
Up and away in a hot air balloon
We were up and out the door at the ungodly hour of 4am to head over to Ragland in South East Wales to cross something big off the bucket list, to fly in a hot air balloon. I have my brother to thank for this truly unforgettable experience as he had initially...
Life lately #5
It goes without saying that it's such a wonderful time of year. This month I have been reflecting on my time since I got back to the UK and how much I have enjoyed being back. I get asked all the time if I miss life in Dubai and even I am surprised that the answer is...

ME Dubai hotel at The Opus by Zaha Hadid
Dubai is home to a collection of impossibly futuristic buildings but if there’s one that really stands out amongst the rest it's The Opus (sorry Burj Khalifa). Located in Business Bay, the unmissable structure was designed by late Iraqi-British architect legend, Dame...
Salcombe, Devon – UK
Though I grew up in Cornwall, the neighbouring county of Devon is very much uncharted territory for me and up until recently, I had yet to explore it in any meaningful detail. Though there has been a long-standing (albeit friendly) rivalry between the two counties,...
The best cafes and coffee in Dubai
When it comes to Dubai’s wide selection of fabulous cafes, you are spoilt for choice if you are partial to some good coffee and perhaps something sweet whilst you’re at it. I just love cafes, they are probably my favourite place to hang out. Be if for solo laptop...
Bulgari Resort Dubai
When it comes to high-end hangouts where you can get your dose of sun, fun and indulgence then it’s no surprise that you are spoilt for choice in Dubai. If there's one place that really stands out amongst the pack, for me it’s an easy choice. Enter: Bulgari Resort...
Life lately #4
I feel like I am well and truly settled back in the UK now. It feels good to be immersed in greenery and nature once again having been away from these things for so long whilst out in Dubai. During the entirety of my time out there, I never got the chance to visit...
Clifton, Bristol – UK
Bristol has got to be one of my favourite UK cities. Having spent a stint of time there in my early 20s, I have fond memories of it. Bristol is the largest city in the South West so it was always seen as a place of fascination and excitement for us small-village folk...
