I'M KIRSTY LEANNE

My mission is simple. I want to help change the way travel looks, showing both brands and society that plus size people really do travel too. In a community where plus size travellers are made to feel unwelcome, I want to inspire and advise people like me on how they can make the most out of their own incredible travel experiences.Join me as I share my own personal experiences, my best tips and tricks and all of the challenges I face along the way. It won’t always be an easy ride, but it sure as hell will be a fun one.

Working together, we can change the way that travel looks today

WHAT TO EXPECT

Instagram

  • AD | GIFTED 💙 It’s not very often I post a photo of myself looking so serious, but apparently my new hair gives me all kind of sass I didn’t know I had 😂🙌🏻 . . Today has consisted of lots of content writing work, recording interviews for the Plus Size Travel Too podcast and packing most of my things ready for America. Just a couple of bits to buy tomorrow and I SHOULD be ready to go next week ✈️🇺🇸 . . If there is anything that should on my America packing list (either Trek America or Walt Disney World), let me know now so I don’t forget it. And yes, before anyone says, I do have my passport 😂😇 . . ❤️ Smock dress gifted from @boohoo 📸 @unwrittenchloee #plussizefashion #psootd #plussizeootd #plussize #psbloggers #ootd
  • AD | GIFTED ✨ So, I did a thing 💇🏼‍♀️ After leaving my hair 14 MONTHS without a cut, I finally got to the point where it was in such bad condition, it needed a major revamp to look healthy again 😭 . . I haven’t had short hair since I was in secondary school, so naturally I was scared to have to have so much off - especially as I would use my hair as a bit of a security blanket when taking photos. I’m still not *100%* in love with, but my hair feels much healthier and I’m definitely feeling a little more confident 👏🏻🙌🏻 . . ❤️ Jumpsuit gifted from @dorothyperkins 📸 @unwrittenchloee #newhair #plussize #plussizefashion #plussizeconfidence #psootd #psbloggers
  • AD | PRESS TRIP ✨ It feels like forever since I was wandering around Palma, when I reality it’s only been six weeks. Although I love travelling, it has definitely been nice to have some time at home to work on some of the amazing things that are coming you way (or that have already launched since the time of this trip) 👏🏻 . . I have so many plans for both kirstyleanne.com and Plus Size Travel Too But I know if I do too much at once I’ll probably burn out. I think sometimes I forget that I have a full time freelance content writing position alongside my blog, as I seem to think I can do everything all at once. As amazing as I’d like to think I am, am definitely not super woman 🤦🏼‍♀️ . . I don’t actually know what the point of this caption is anymore so I guess what you can take from this is that more exciting things are coming, but I don’t know when 😂 #plussizetraveltoo #plussizetravel #plussize #plussizetraveller #travel #presstrip . . 📸: @brogantatexo
  • Counting down the days until I’m at the beach again (It’s 21, in case you were wondering) ✈️🇺🇸☀️ . . I hope you’re all excited because although things are a little quiet around here lately, I’m off on my next adventure in 10 DAYS. On the 22nd of May, me and my brother are flying to New York for 2 days before we start the Trek America Atlantic Dream tour. ❤️ . . The tour will take us to some incredible places, including Washington, Philadelphia, Shenandoah, Ocoee, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Destin Beach and Orlando. Once we reach Orlando, we’ll be staying for 8 whole days where we’ll be going to Disney, Universal and the Kennedy Space Centre. . . This is my biggest trip yet and to say I’m incredibly excited is an understatement. SOMEONE PLEASE GET ME ON THAT PLANE NOW ✈️💙 #Travel #travelbloggers #tbloggers #travelblogging #tblogger #travelphotography #travelgram
  • Without realising, it’s been two weeks since I posted to my Instagram feed. Whilst I had VERY good intentions to post every day like usual, work definitely got in the way. 😭🤦🏼‍♀️ . . Whilst I love working for myself, preparing for three weeks ‘out of office’ has meant I’m working double time every day in order to fund my huge trip AND the bills I usually have to cover with my day day to earnings. If there was one thing I would say I miss about employment, it’s holiday pay. 😂 . . Since I disappeared a few weeks ago, I guess a FEW exciting things have happened. So, here’s a little catch up: ✈️ I booked flights to California with @fordtography in January 2020. I haven’t been back since I lived there in 2012, so I’ll am SO SO excited. 📸 I bought a new camera and I can’t wait to get some shots with it soon! 🇺🇸 It’s now only 18 days until America and I honestly can’t believe it’s nearly here. Can it be 22nd May already? 🙌🏻 I’ve pitched some AMAZING collaborations with brands for my trip and managed to tick FOUR of my dream brands to work off my list in the space of a few days. Oh my god. . . Okay, I think that’s all for now. What have you all been up to the last few weeks? Tell me everything! 👀 #plussizetravel #plussizetraveltoo #plussizetravelling #fatgirlstravelling #travelinclusivity #fatgirlstraveltoo
  • AD | GIFTED 💙 So far today I have managed to try baking a cake without turning the oven on, put beef in the slow cooker without plugging it in (at least five hours ago) and have rubbed my eyes after cutting hot chilli peppers. At least bad things only come in threes right? I think it might be time to give up and relax with all of my Easter chocolate 😂🍫 . . On a completely different note, how gorgeous is the dress from @joanieclothing? It’s perfect for this incredible heatwave we’re having - especially with a pair of chub rub shorts underneath. The plus size holy grail 🙌🏻 #joaniegal #joaniegals #psfashion #psblogger #psbloggers
  • Bosnia is one of those countries that really surprised me when I visited. I knew Mostar would be beautiful, but as were driven from Croatia and through Bosnia, I couldn’t take my eyes off the road the entire time. From the stunning mountains to fascinating fruit farms, it definitely made the long drive (and multiple border control stops) worth it ❤️🇧🇦 . . Although I only spent a couple of hours in Bosnia and Mostar, I definitely want to go back to explore more of this beautiful country. ✈️ . . What country surprised you the most? . . #bosnia #visitbosnia #mostar #bosniaandherzegovina #visitmostar
  • After a very late night waiting to watch Game of Thrones, I’ve definitely had a slow start this morning - I can’tbelieve there are only five episodes left! I’m really not ready for some of my favourites to die🐺⚔️❄️ . . If you watch, who do you think will end up the Iron Throne? 👑 #got #gameofthrones #winteriscoming #forthewatch #allmenmustdie
  • AD | GIFTED 🌼 Don’t mind me, just pretending I’m at Coachella this weekend instead of working ✌🏻 . . Festival season is well and truly underway and I’m loving all of the out there outfits already. In the past I’ve always been put off dressing up for festivals as I thought I wouldn’t find anything that’s both comfortable and fashionable in my size, but this year I’m spoilt for choice (especially on the @prettylittlething @prettylittlethingplus website 👏🏻) . . P.S. I think this is my *favourite* photo of me ever 🙌🏻 . . ❤️ Dress gifted from Pretty Little Thing ❤️ Shoes gifted from Pretty Little Thing ❤️ Headband bought from @primark #plussizefashion #psbloggers #plussizebloggers #plussizefestivalfashion #festivalfashion #festivallook

  • ✈ PLUS SIZE TRAVEL PROBLEMS PT 1 ✈ . . Although I talk a lot about the problems plus size people face when they travel, I wanted to go that one step further and show it in a way that would make EVERYONE want to listen. With such a long list of images I wanted to create, a couple of months ago I hired an incredible designer (@creatiffy_) to help create them for me. She has done an INCREDIBLE job, as I feel they really get across how we may feel when we're travelling even if we don't say it outloud. Whether it's being worried you won't fit on a ride or awkwardly laughing off that a tray table doesn't fit, deep down we're thinking something completely different to what we may be saying or doing. . . So, whether you're plus size and you can relate to these images or you're straight size and you want to help bring attention to the #plussizetraveltoo campaign, I would LOVE it if you could share this post far and wide. Tag your friends, post on your stories or even send them over direct message. Thank you so so much ❤ . . PT 2 COMING NEXT WEEK 🙌🏻
