    I just wanted to share a bit of success after taking your Travel Writers course that you offer. After taking the course and following the suggestions and assignments I have landed a month long stay in Rome, Italy to learn Italian. This is all paid for by the school I am going to be attending. So not only will I be able to stay for an entire month in the Eternal city but I will also be able to expand my knowledge of Italian. I can just imagine all the story ideas I will be able to get from this stay in Rome. This will really help to launch my career as a Travel Writer and this is all due to this course! Thank you so much for putting together this material. I found it to be invaluable as I am able to achieve my goal of traveling the world because of this course.

    Here are a few of my successes this last few months:

    · Won the AWAI Bootcamp Spec Challenge
    · Have an ad for Grand Baymen being published in International Living Magazine in early 2010.
    · Had two articles accepted by International Living for publishing in their hardcopy magazine.
    · Just had my second advertorial Postcard published in International Living’s daily Postcard, the on line e-mail that goes out.

    The ironic thing is that copywriting and travel/lifestyle writing are very complimentary. In particular, I find that advertorial copy works well for travel organizations, such as International Living. Although I have more training in copywriting than travel writing, I’ve been able to combine the two using AWAI techniques. I’m having a blast doing so.

    I had always wanted to write for International Living and now I’ve started to do so!
