Travel writers, traveling is a journey, how will you remember yours? Will your words make your readers want more? Write an article that is fresh, crisp, and stimulates the senses of readers. Get your point across, whether it’s a city’s efforts to “go green” or the vastness of the Sahara. Paint a vivid picture of your travel to draw readers to your story.
When you travel, you may want to leave the laptop at home. Bring a pen and small notebook for note taking. Don’t hurry your travel writing. Once you’re back home, wait a few days or even a week before you write your travel article. Look over your notes and decide what you keep and omit from your writing. Before you know it, your article will be written in no time!
