If you've traveled and volunteered abroad, you may be the country...<br /> Guides will be give someone who wants to go volunteer there an idea of what it would be like. You must have spent time/lived abroad and volunteered. Guides must be authoritative and unbiased. If you are responding on behalf of an organization, your guide can't be promotional or focused on one group. See the link for an example of the Official Go Overseas Guide to Volunteering in Peru.

If you live in a house, flat, bungalow or palace – or anywhere in one place – the chances are somewhere not too far from you there will be a ‘creative writing group’ where you’ll be able to attend regular meetings and submit writing exercises for feedback. But what if you live on a boat, in a camper van or out of a backpack – or anywhere that never stays still? Where can you hone your skills in the company of other would-be writers if you’re a rolling stone?</p> <p>The California Writers Club, Sacramento Branch’s monthly Writers Network’s breakfast meeting for September will feature Carmel L. Mooney.<br /> Writing About Travel</p> <p>Carmel L. Mooney is a travel writer, columnist, author and radio talk show host. Her titles include: “Money the Write Way” and “How to Break In or Survive and Thrive as a Travel Writer in the Current Economy.” Her bylines and photographs appear in national and international magazines and newspapers. She teaches seminars on writing and publishing at writers’ conferences and colleges throughout the country. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/does-anyone-know-if-the-site-moneyfortravelingcom-is-a-scam-or-legit#post-2864 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:31:14 +0000 Erik Nor 2864@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Hi, i can not help you alot here, but i will tell you my teory. they have to make money to so they take a small fee for people joining theyre club. but what i really think is, never pay for information u may not need of a web page. usually its a scam, like "do you wanna know this card trick?, ok just give us 1 US Dollar and we will show you". SCAM. </p> <p>If there is video or info on the internet that is inportant for something easy, and not something exlusive and expensive that tells you what you get. almost 90 percent of the time, you can get it free from someone else. </p> <p>so i would say, look further and if not, try calling your bank and hear if theyre credentials/credits are dodgy or if they actually know its a scam. </p> <p>i am also sorry for bad english. im working on that. i can speak right, but not quite write right. i think. ;O) hope u got some thoughts. and if you have figured this out. share it. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/does-anyone-know-if-the-site-moneyfortravelingcom-is-a-scam-or-legit#post-2847 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:00:19 +0000 TravelSpice 2847@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I was considering signing up with this site but before I pay them to give me some amazing info (so they claim) I thought I would check here first to see if anyone had any inside info to share? I don't mind paying a fee if I am going to get some great and helpful info.<br /> Cheers </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/hello-newbie-here#post-2843 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 02:21:17 +0000 kirk89 2843@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Hi ! I'm newbie here. Happy to be a member of the forum.<br /> Nice to meet you. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/travel-writers-club#post-2831 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 09:07:25 +0000 LizCleere 2831@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I've just launched a new website, <a href="http://www.lizcleere.com/">http://www.lizcleere.com</a>, specifically aimed at itinerant writers like me. If you're a rolling stone or are in a perpetual state of travel you might be interested in becoming part of this small group.</p> <p>I've set it up so that a small band of people -- maximum 12 -- can get together to swap travel stories once a month and GIVE EACH OTHER CONSIDERED LITERARY CRITICISM. Like the creative writing groups you find in most towns, this on-line version will nurture and encourage its writers to improve.</p> <p>There will be monthly assignments. All members will be required to write up to 500 words on a given theme, and to critique the previous month's work of the other eleven members. We will also have voluntary ad hoc assignments, and possibly guest posts and Q&amp;A sessions.</p> <p>The club is free to join. I've had to limit the size to twelve members as that is about the maximum number I can handle at the moment. We'll see how it progresses.</p> <p>I've set a little competition for applicants to write 500 words on 'The Itinerant Writer' and to let me have a few words about themselves. </p> <p>Mini biog: I live on a boat and am slowly sailing round the world. I write cruising stories (destination pieces)for Sailing Today, a national sailing magazine in the UK. I've had some success in <a href="http://www.lizcleere.com/practice-makes-perfect/">writing competitions</a>. I would like to break into mainstream travel writing and am hoping this club will be one small step for all its members to improve their writing skills. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/hello-newbie-here#post-2828 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:19:03 +0000 reubenteen 2828@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Greetings,</p> <p>Reuben here, I love travelling &amp; exploring new places.
