Awesome writing and interviewing tips,I especially like ‘DO’ No. 4 and ‘DONT’ No 7 & 9. I think I will read your list again several times so I can remember it all. Happy travelling!

Great Post Trish! Until today I thought that an easy strategy for getting paid to travel (in a style I would like to become accustomed to) would be to just wait for the opportunity to arrive in my email box! Now, I am refining my focus and allowing that in order for opportunity to find you, you have to find the opportunity.

Wow! This was a great post to find. Thanks! Didn’t think about media trips. Guess I’ll start keeping my eye open for them. It would totally cool and a GREAT time! Come to think of it, I could use a break. A trip would be refreshing. I could stick my toes in the sand…

Wow! Superb information! Totally rocks! Never been on a media trip. I think I’d like to do so. Good thing I read this post. It probably would do me some good to re-read it. I think I’ll begin a search for media trips that I’d like to go on. It would be a great way to network with your peers. Guess I better replace my digital camera, it recently broke…bummer!

Thanks for the Dos and Dont’s of media trips. Many people are very focused on “getting something” or “achieving something” when they go on media trips. As Jon says, “…DO make friends.” You never know when you’ll need a helping hand and you can learn a lot from people. Who knows, you may be stuck with your writing and someone may have the answer for you.

Thanks for the Dos and Dont’s. I agree that it helps to do your homework about the destination. It’s like a job interview — research the company before the interview so research the destination for the media trip. This way you’ll know a little something about the place. I’d have to remind myself that I’m not on vacation – I do enjoy wearing Hawaiian shirts with brown sandals
