About João

João Mucci is 24, lives in Bournemouth and has made a habit of turning every discovery into something worth reading. If he finds a quieter stretch of sand at Southbourne on a busy August Saturday, a café on the West Cliff that opens early enough for a walk to the pier, or the bus that gets you to Sandbanks faster than the car, it ends up on FlexieNews. Most of the guides on this site carry his name for that reason.

He works at Flexiestays, which means he spends his days around guests asking the questions a guidebook rarely answers: where to park near the seafront on a match day, which chine to walk down when the wind is up, what is actually open in Boscombe on a Monday in January. His articles start from those questions and answer them first, with walking times, seasons and what something costs rather than adjectives.

Read the full profile

João is a technology enthusiast, and it shows in how he works. He checks timetables, maps and council notices before he writes, keeps his guides updated when something changes, and likes anything that makes a trip simpler: booking direct, contactless ferries, a good desk and fast wifi for anyone working remotely from the coast. He is interested in how a town of nearly 200,000 people can feel like a village if you know where to look.

His beat is all of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and the Dorset day trips that start from them: Hengistbury Head at sunrise, Old Harry Rocks, Corfe Castle, the New Forest. The aim of everything he writes is the same: that a visitor arrives knowing what a local knows, and that someone who has lived here for years still learns something new.
