How a Fellow Reader from Queensland, Australia Took His Wife on a $2,000 Vacation for $53.67

By Following this ONE Simple Secret,
You, too, Could Be Traveling the World
at Your Whim -- on the House

---

Dear Travel Writer,

How would you like to spend two months exploring the wilds of Australia… all at no charge…

You could enjoy a half-day fishing on the sun-drenched Great Barrier Reef…

…an exhilarating blast through the treetops at Finch Hatton Gorge, suspended in a harness, 100 feet above the ground…

…an unbelievable meal of green peppercorn tempura fish on a lemon and chive risotto, followed by a double chocolate, rum, and walnut cheesecake -- all at a restaurant perched high above a sleepy coastal town where the views are as spectacular as the food…

…a lazy weekend in the balmy breezes of Brampton Island where tall palms list over the azure waters on twelve golden, sandy beaches… a swimming excursion, with snorkel and fins, amidst swarms of multicolored fish in untouched coral gardens…

Sound extravagant?

Well, that's exactly how Brian Norris spent a couple of months this past year -- and those are just the highlights. Brian clocked over 2000 miles all told -- and enjoyed amazing meals, fabulous hotels, tremendous pampering, and all the best activities on offer.

It was entirely free.

And then he was paid thousands of dollars to tell others about it in a full-color special travel section in his local newspaper.

Now, perhaps you're thinking, "I could never land a sweetheart deal like that." But that's just not so. You most certainly can -- faster and with a lot less footwork than you probably imagine.

In fact, right now, a whole host of opportunity for complimentary travel exists for folks willing to follow Brian Norris' lead, take notes about what they see and do, and tell people about their adventures. 

Consider, for example, these trips on offer…

• Four nights at a lodge in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. This adventure includes a helicopter ride, a walk through wildflower fields, hikes on mountain ridges, gourmet cuisine, and amazing mountaintop sunsets. All of it on the house…
• A movie-lovers weekend provides a free pass to all the films showing at an annual east coast film festival… plus two nights -- no charge -- at a lovely inn across the street from the beach. Breakfast and dinner are included, and you're welcome to bring a guest…
• A day-long cruise down the Potomac from Washington, DC to Washington's home at Mt. Vernon and back. Guests enjoy amazing city views and commentary as well as a visit to the estate and grounds. No charge…
• Nine days spent exploring Belize and Guatemala with a naturalist's agenda -- bird watching, discovering Mayan ruins, visiting butterfly gardens, inner tubing down a river, caving, swimming in clear blue waters, snorkeling along an extraordinary reef, and more. Everything on the house…
• A four-day luxury adventure beachside on the Caribbean islands of the Turks and Caicos. Relax on the sand, swim in the pool, maybe play a round of golf or check out the spa… all at no charge…
• Five spectacular days in the Swiss Alps. Climb a mountain in a cable car… explore a glacier… relax in a luxury spa… and do it all on somebody else's dime…

That's just a tiny sampling of the sort of trips and pampering available to you…

If, that is, you take the same approach Brian and a select group of his colleagues take when they travel.

Let me explain…

Put Yourself in the VIP Line

Competition for the world's tourism dollars is fierce. So it's no wonder that hotels... tour organizers... cruise lines... airlines... even local governments are willing to spend big bucks on travel writers (like Brian Norris) -- in hopes that they'll have a positive experience and write about it favorably in a magazine, newspaper, newsletter, or online.

The more articles are written about a place, the rationale goes, the more tourists will go there. More tourists means more money... makes sense, really.

So how do you put yourself in line to be wined and dined and treated like royalty?

I'll be frank: It all hinges on your credibility and your track record.

Brian Norris and his colleagues have discovered that you can gain a good measure of both by simply associating yourself with the right folks.

Brian is a member of the ITWPA -- the International Travel Writers & Photographers Alliance -- which, as he puts it: "Creates opportunities, opens doors, sparks immediate attention, and gets me respect like nothing I've ever seen before."

I'd like to invite you to join Brian and his savvy colleagues as a member, today.

Must Enjoy Travel, No Other Experience Necessary

If you like to travel… and if you'd like to turn your travels into an income-producing endeavor, explore the world on somebody else's dime, and get paid for your troubles… then this group can help you do it -- and fast.

Now, before I go on, I should make clear -- this really isn't for everyone.

You need to enjoy traveling. And you need to be willing to take notes while you're away and then to tell people about your travel experiences in articles you write.

(That said, you don't need the sensibility of Hemingway.  If you've ever come back from vacation and called a friend to tell him what your trip was like or jotted off a quick email with an account of your journey -- then you can do this, no problem. In fact, the ITWPA provides its members loads of step-by-step guidance and expert advice.)

So if this does appeal to you -- traveling with a notebook in hand… being pampered on the road… enjoying the freedom and the perks of a travel writer's life…

… then the ITWPA can help you do it -- faster than you ever imagined possible.

In fact, they make it downright easy. The members who take advantage of the guidance this group provides -- the ones who use their membership resources as a roadmap -- they find that they have in hand everything they need to be exploring, writing, getting published (and positioning themselves for perks) within just weeks of joining.

Like Wendy VanHatten, who used her membership to arrange for complimentary passes to the San Diego Wild Animal Park… and an on-the-house tour at Four Peaks Mine in Fountain Hills, Arizona…

Or Greg Grifton, who used his to land backstage access at a performance of Cats… 

Or Karen Prevenstein, who parlayed hers into a free lunch in Yorktown, Virginia…

Or Martin Fumarola, who used his membership to gain access to the Varig VIP Lounge at the Guarulhos Airport in Brazil… arrange a free ride on the "Telesferico" in Caracas, a cable car service that takes visitors directly to the Monte Avila hill… and even land free overnight accommodation at a lovely hotel in that city.

You, too, could be enjoying complimentary travel perks like that. And soon. Because these ITWPA members aren't doing anything you can't do, too.

They used their ITWPA membership to jump-start their travel writing careers. And today they're traveling like real VIPs.

You can easily follow in their footsteps. Let me show you how…

 

Smooth the Way to Perks and Privileges

First of all, you should know that ITWPA membership is normally reserved for seasoned, published writers and photographers. But for a limited time, the ITWPA is making a special offer for new members.

Join today, and they'll send you a personalized Membership ID Card, which will help give you the look of a real pro. (In fact, Brian Norris landed a complimentary island vacation for himself and his wife a couple of years back simply because the resort's marketing manager happened to see his card and ask him about it.)

To be fair, flashing it won't automatically make every museum entrance fee melt away or every cranky ticket-taker suddenly smile and wave you through for free.

It can, however, "grease the wheels" so to speak when you travel. And in countries where bureaucratic formalities are the norm and your language skills might not be up to snuff, credentials like your ITWPA membership card can help smooth your way as you travel.

But that's just the first of many travel tools you'll benefit from when you join the ITWPA today.

Write Better, Travel Smarter, Earn More

Twice a month, you'll receive via email the ITWPA Insider, an e-letter for members only that includes listings of press trips on offer (invitations for complimentary travel, like rafting in the Pacific Northwest, on-the-house or a stay at a beachside spa, no charge)… profiles of publications where you could get your work published… and practical articles about how to write better, travel smarter, and earn more.

Edited by Kyle Wagner, travel editor at the Denver Post, you'll find this resource an invaluable tool that delivers both industry insights and how-to advice -- all designed to help boost your chances of travel-writing success many times over and have you enjoying amazing perks in no time.

Get Your Articles Published -- Fast -- and
Get Exposure on the ITWPA "Travel Wire"

As an ITWPA member, you're invited to contribute articles to the organization's online travel magazine, called Travel Post Monthly. In it, you'll find top-quality travel articles and photographs produced by members -- sound travel advice to save you time, money, and trouble when you travel. Plus riveting stories and extraordinary photos about destinations the world over. 

This is a great publishing opportunity for you -- an ideal way to land a by-line.

Plus at the bottom of each published article or photo appears a short bio and contact information for you, the contributor.

That's great news, because the ITWPA sends its Travel Post Monthly to an ever-growing list of travel editors -- editors who are looking for content to fill their own print and online publications.

Essentially, the Travel Post Monthly serves as a free travel news wire service -- a way to bring your top-notch travel articles and photographs to the attention of editors who can simply contact you directly to purchase your material.

This is a REALLY good deal for you -- excellent exposure for your work -- and, as an ITWPA member, it's a free service. 

(Now, I do want to be clear: Travel Post Monthly is a serious travel publication and wire service, and the editors don't simply publish any old thing that comes through the door. The articles and photos must meet the publication's guidelines. And not every piece submitted will be published. But the best ones will. And ITWPA members get first priority. You'll find out more about how to get your articles published in Travel Post Monthly when you join the ITWPA.)

Members Save More than $300
on Writing- and Travel-Related Resources

In addition, ITWPA members also benefit from special discounts worth more than $300 on writing- and travel-related resources. Among the savings you benefit from are --

$200 off any ITWPA event, including travel writing and photography workshops in such far-flung destinations as Paris, Vancouver, Denver, and Greece. (The discount is good on Jennifer Stevens' travel writing workshops, for example.)

$100 off any International Living event, including country-specific seminars and workshops as well as their annual Live Overseas Conference. 

Plus you gain Member Discounts on travel supplies, recommended books, and other practical resources for traveling writers, like reduced-rate magazine subscriptions, great deals on luggage, discounts on writer's supplies, and more. 

Access to the Members-Only Website
with Resources to Put You on the Fast Track

What's more, on the ITWPA Members-Only Website, you'll find a vast collection of useful resources to get your travel writing on the fast track.

Posted for members' use are helpful articles, special reports, and even entire books, like the Writer's Tax Guide (a $24.50 value -- yours FREE with your membership).

Plus you'll also find on the password-protected site the full archives of the ITWPA Insider as well -- years and years worth of practical advice about easy ways to write faster and better and boost your income… plus how-to help for landing amazing travel perks, too.

Get Your Questions Answered on the
Members-Only Online Forum

There's another excellent, interactive resource, too. It's the ITWPA Online Forum, and it's moderated by Kyle Wagner, editor of the ITWPA Insider, who acts there as a mentor of sorts.

The forum is an excellent place to go to get answers to your questions and to share your ideas, opinions, and experiences with your fellow members.

The ITWPA brings together a growing community of travel writers and photographers, and it's on their Forum that you'll find yourself really benefiting from that fraternity of like-minded folks who share your interests and your passions.

Confused about the best way to approach a publication? Not sure you're thinking about your article the right way? Want to get a spot on a particular press trip and don't know the best way to clinch it? Sign onto the Forum and ask.

Looking for somebody to proof your article for you? Need some advice about what to do when you're in Prague? Looking for a good PR contact in Miami? Sign onto the Forum and ask.

Members Get Their Own, Professional
On-line Photo Gallery to Showcase Their Work

Plus that's not all.

Because photography goes hand-in-hand with travel writing, the ITWPA also gives each of its members an individual photo website -- and a masterful one at that. 

It's the ideal place to send prospective clients who may be interested in purchasing your work.

You don't have to design it or maintain it or even pay for it. It's free with your ITWPA membership. You simply drop in the photos you want to display, and in less than 10 minutes, you've created an extremely professional "portfolio" for your photos.

Say you have shots of Madagascar you snapped while shopping at the open-air market in Antananarivo. They'd be perfect to accompany an article about the leather goods, hand-carved furniture, and intricately embroidered linens you found there.

With this special online gallery, you simply give an editor the link to your shots, and he can choose the ones that make your piece come most alive for his readers.

By offering editors article-photo packages, you can really bump up your income. And with this special, personalized online gallery, you have an easy, efficient -- and extremely professional -- way to do it.

To be honest, this service alone would be worth the cost of membership. But it's merely one of the many benefits ITWPA members enjoy.

Your Jump-Start to a Dream Lifestyle

When you join the ITWPA, you're guaranteed to have at your disposal everything you need to start living a truly enviable lifestyle.

Just think: Sooner than you ever thought possible, you could find yourself on some far-off tropical island… sipping a cold cocktail… enjoying the warm surf lapping at your toes… and getting paid to write about it.

Or maybe you dream, instead, about sailing across the Atlantic on one of the world’s most luxurious ships… nothing but clean air and sea breezes for days at a time, the wait staff at your beck and call…

Or perhaps you fantasize about spending time relaxing in a traditional Tuscan villa… exploring the antique markets of Paris… wandering through the vineyards of Argentina...

Whatever your travel dream, as a member of the ITWPA, you could live it… taking advantage of offers of hospitality and VIP travel perks… and getting paid to tell other people about your experiences…

A Unique Opportunity to Gain all the Insider Know-How
and Resources You Need to Travel the World on
Somebody Else's Dime… and Even Get Paid to Do it…

They know the insider tricks to landing fabulous perks -- like all-expenses-paid beach vacations… reduced-rate African safaris… free passes to the Fireman's Ball in Paris, France… and more…

Those are all trips ITWPA members have enjoyed. And when you join their ranks, you'll learn how to land perks like those, too…

The catch? There isn't one. Because all you have to do in exchange for enjoying amazing offers of hospitality is write up a short story about your experiences.

When you take advantage of this special opportunity to become an ITWPA member today, they'll deliver to you every resource you could possibly need to deliver excellent, saleable accounts of your travels easily, quickly, and enjoyably.

But, again, this is a task easily and quickly accomplished when you’re a member.

P.S. I urge you to act now. At the risk of sounding hopelessly cliché, I simply want to say: Life is short. Do you really want to keep spending your days dreaming of a more exciting existence, a life where you head off to far-flung locales, a notebook tucked into your carry-on and a camera slung around your neck? Or do you want to look back, this time next year -- perhaps from a corner café in Paris -- and say, "Wow, now that was a smart investment."

I urge you to RSVP to this special invitation now -- and put yourself firmly on the path to a whole new life. There won't be a better, or more affordable, way to do it. And the perks, as other members will tell you, can be absolutely extraordinary. Click below to join.
