About Me, Carmen Roberts
With over two decades of experience, I’ve explored more than 80 countries as a TV presenter and producer. Beyond broadcasting, I share my expert travel insights in top magazines and online publications. As a skilled moderator, I lead discussions for global organisations like the UNWTO & PATA, shaping the future of travel. I’m also a dedicated content creator with a loyal social media following and a talent for producing authentic UGC for travel brands. Let me guide you through the world with my unique blend of expertise and passion for travel.
TV Travel Presenter
As a presenter and producer on the BBC’s Travel Show, I’ve had the unique opportunity to bring the world’s most fascinating destinations into the homes of viewers across the globe.
I have produced a program aboard the world’s longest flight, filmed on board the world’s largest cruise ship, gone behind the scenes of the world’s most efficient high-speed train service in Japan and reported from one of the world’s most secretive countries, North Korea.
Travel Writer
In addition to my work in broadcast journalism, I’m a seasoned writer with contributions to various magazines and online publications. My writing delves into the intricacies of travel, offering insights, tips, and recommendations based on my extensive journeys.
Having lived in Singapore, Japan, the UK, and Australia, I’ve gained a diverse perspective on the world, which I’m passionate about sharing with my audience. Whether it’s uncovering hidden gems, offering practical travel advice, or sharing the cultural nuances of a destination, my goal is to enrich your travel experiences.
Moderator
Beyond journalism, I’m also a skilled moderator, regularly facilitating panel sessions and discussions for esteemed organizations such as the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), and the International Tourism Investment Council (ITIC). My role as a moderator allows me to engage with industry leaders and experts, fostering meaningful dialogues on the future of travel and tourism.
Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of presenting awards, including the Women in Travel Awards and the upcoming Travel Media Awards, celebrating excellence and innovation in the industry.
Social Media & Content Creation
In addition to my work in journalism and moderation, I’m deeply involved in social media content creation. Leveraging my video production skills honed through years in broadcast media, I collaborate with brands to produce authentic user-generated content (UGC) that resonates with audiences. Whether it’s creating engaging travel reviews, sharing in-depth destination guides, or crafting visually compelling stories, I bring my extensive travel experience and creative flair to every project, helping brands connect meaningfully with their target markets.

After the Asian Tsunami on Boxing Day 2004, I cut short my holiday in Langkawi, Malaysia to report from the devastated resort town of Phuket in Thailand.
I won the Best Television Travel Feature at the British Guild of Travel Writers Member’s Awards two years in a row:

Born in Singapore, my father was from New Zealand and my grandparents were Scottish. However, I grew up on Australia’s Gold Coast and moved to London in 2000. In 2011, I moved back to Singapore and in 2014 relocated to Tokyo. After 8 wonderful years in Japan, I’m now based just outside of London in the UK.
