As I said in my original post, we're looking for new contributors all the time, so thanks very much for your enthusiastic response! </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/starting-out-in-the-world-of-niche-travel-features#post-912 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:39:43 +0000 Trisha Miller 912@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Very nice site - I really like the design! I know plenty of writers looking for a place to publish their travel articles, so I'll put the word out on the street! </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/starting-out-in-the-world-of-niche-travel-features#post-910 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:19:35 +0000 Amandah Blackwell 910@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I really love your site!!! I haven't found many travel sites that resonate with me with the exception of Brave New Traveler and Vagabonding (Rolff Potts) and a few others. Your site resonated with me because I like to do my own thing and create my own "travel package." </p> <p>Travel packages are nice and can be refreshing, but when I travel I really like to experience the people and culture; find out what makes them "tick." I enjoy learning about the history of places and doing something crazy like bunging jumping or a zip line &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; Kind of like getting my hands dirty with travel.</p> <p>I'm all about "going my own way," I always have been like that. I think it's why I didn't get or like high school -- too much "having to fit in with everyone." I say be yourself who cares what others think. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/starting-out-in-the-world-of-niche-travel-features#post-908 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:55:14 +0000 andrewgyoung 908@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Hi all, I (along with a colleague) have just started a niche travel (we're still trying to come up with something more original than that!) website, <a href="http://www.goyourownway.info" rel="nofollow">http://www.goyourownway.info</a>, which is essentially a features-only site for anyone/everyone who has found a place that truly resonated with them.</p> <p>It's really a hobby for now, but I would like to invite anyone with copy to get in touch if they would like a place to put it!</p> <p>I would also welcome any comments - everyone in the world of travel has an opinion on how it should be written up - so I would like to get some feedback!</p> <p>Thanks, Andy </p>
