Jen Bell is the founder and editor of The Good Life List, an independent lifestyle publication celebrating great places to eat, stay, explore and live across the UK.
Launched in the Peak District and Derbyshire, The Good Life List combines local knowledge, first-hand experience and a healthy dose of curiosity to uncover the people, places and experiences that make a region special. From village pubs and hidden cafés to countryside walks, family days out and destinations worth planning a weekend around, its focus is on helping readers live well and travel well.
Before launching The Good Life List, Jen spent more than 20 years working in communications, tourism and hospitality in both the UK and New Zealand. She has worked with organisations ranging from Tourism New Zealand and Destination New South Wales to boutique hotels, restaurants, attractions and family-run food and drink businesses.
Today, she spends much of her time exploring the Peak District and beyond with her family, searching out great stories, local characters, brilliant food and the little details that make a place memorable.
Areas of interest include travel, tourism, food and drink, hospitality, countryside living, family days out, regional lifestyle, staycations, village life and the UK's most interesting places.
