What jobs out there allow a person to travel and write about their travel experiences?

I love the travel industry. There's certain feelings I get when traveling to a new place and I want others to feel the same way I do about visiting some place new or experiencing something totally different than what I am use to. I currently work in the travel business advertising vacation property and after seeing how beautiful the land is where some of the properties reside, I get this strong feeling of envy for the owners who get to enjoy the beauty of a vacation destination and of the land their homes rest on.

How on earth can I find a job, aside from being a travel agent, or tour director, or cruise ship director, where I can travel to places I love and write about them for everyone else to experience?

Im looking along the lines of maybe a travel magazine who will pay people to travel or even a website?


The travel writing industry is a very hard one to break into.

If you have good background credentials, especially in writing/journalism, it doesn't hurt to try. Apply with National Geographic or Lonely Planet. They're both good companies.

Having your own blog can be a good first step, even if it's not making you $ at first.

It gets your travel writing & name out onto the web, and it's a showcase for your work samples. I've gotten article requests from magazines out of the blue, because they found my website. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20060826232019AAHVYHu&kid=DoNxEjH8MG74ws_FZCgj&s=comm&date=2009-03-24+21%3A48%3A17&.crumb=
