Travel Writer

Travel Writers are writing professionals who visit tourist attractions, events, festivals, and holiday destinations, then write helpful and engaging content that inspires other people to go there too. They write for travel books, newspaper travel supplements, travel magazines, travel websites and social media.

As a professional Travel Writer, you could be taking photographs while out hiking to use in a future story, pitching your idea for an article to a publishing editor, writing an article outline, interviewing a tourism operator about the best time of year to visit the area, proofreading and editing a finished piece, blogging your experiences at a recent cultural festival on your personal website, or scanning the Lonely Planet for your next location idea.

To succeed in this role you’ll need outstanding writing skills with the ability to tell a story while providing useful travel advice. You’ll also need to be confident enough to pitch travel websites, magazines, newspapers, and publications with your article ideas.
