So, you wanna be a travel writer and spend your life flying around the world, staying in swanky vacation homes, dining in exotic restaurants, surfing the local beaches and exploring the indigenous markets? Of course you do, who doesn’t?

But travel writing isn’t always thrilling, adventurous and glamorous. Yes, you can do your fair share of swimming, sunning, surfing and skiing on someone else’s tab, but pitching stories and meeting deadlines can be challenging! Not to mention that only a very small portion of people can live on the stipends that travel writing often pays. So, wouldn’t it be great if you could write about your favorite destinations from where you want, when you want, while keeping your day job?
Now you ask…How can I be a travel writer without leaving my cubical or office? The answer is simple-and completely risk free! Enter Viscape’s “Be a Travel Writer” contest to see if you have what it takes to turn your dream of travel writing into a reality.
