Work as a Travel Writer

Travel writing is an umbrella term for anyone who writes about travel for a living. This can include publishing to a personal blog, working in-house for a travel magazine, or freelancing for a variety of publications. If you have an article you’re working on, you can pitch PR companies or tourism boards to allow you to attend press trips or familiarization tours or provide a media rate to allow you cheap travel to research your story. Rates for professional travel writers vary wildly, from a flat $25-$60 fee for web articles on sites like Matador up to $1 or more per word for longer pieces in established print publications. Plus, working as a travel writer means you'll get the VIP travel treatment you deserve.
