Being paid to travel write: it's a highly Googled topic and understandably so. After all, who wouldn't want to be paid to travel around the world? Hundreds of travel writing courses exist on how to write in the genre successfully, but these courses are at worst an utter waste of money and at best absolutely unnecessary. Travel writing is something anyone can do if they are serious enough.

How to Get Published as a Travel Writer

One thing you will need bundles of as a potential travel writer is writing experience: you may initially have to work for nothing to see your article published but it will make your CV or resume look more attractive to potential employees. Initially, get your work published any way you can. For starters, set up your own blog where you can publish your own travel writing and get a feel for it.

Many websites are continuously on the look-out for writers, so apply to these. Sites like Gumtree.com and Boots n All advertise related jobs. Also don't be too proud to consider work experience placements. Many of the world's top publications offer placements, like the Guardian in the UK - you may not be writing travel articles here but you will be adding to your credentials.
