How would you like to spend a summer exploring
the Western U.S. in comfort… no charge?

Or maybe you'd enjoy a complimentary week on an
exotic Asian island, staying in luxury hotels,
visiting orangutan sanctuaries, and touring native long-houses?

Or perhaps a long-weekend vacation with your spouse
at a five-star resort in Cancun would suit you better…
airfare included and all-expenses-paid?

Those are all perks travel writers I know have enjoyed.
It's a charmed existence we lead, no denying it.

THE THING IS: IN A MATTER OF MONTHS,
YOU TOO COULD BE ENJOYING THAT LIFE.

Now, you could pay thousands of dollars to find out how it's done…
and you’d still be money ahead when you travel.

But today, we'll show you how you can
get started -- and reveal to you real-world strategies
you can use now -- for less than $20.

Dear AWAI Member,

Imagine you’re breaking the surface of a calm sea in 20 crystal-clear feet of warm, tropical water. You de-fog your face mask and adjust a flipper. Off to the east, a cruise ship approaches the harbor, backlit by a rising sun. You've got over two hours before your first scheduled meeting… plenty of time to check out the reef and get a shower before heading into town.

Sound too good to be true? Well that's how one freelance travel writer (a colleague) spent a recent morning in the Bahamas. He was there for eight all-expenses-paid days, exploring three islands, enjoying what may well be the world's best beaches, diving, boating, and restaurants… and then he got paid to write about what he found.

And if you’d care to listen in to our Get Paid to Travel Teleconference Recording, you’ll hear how he did it -- and how you can land that same kind of gig.

My name is Steenie Harvey, and I'm not exaggerating when I say my passport pages are as well-turned as a child's favorite story book. I really do travel the world... and get paid to do it.

In fact, the "work" never stops. I’m just back from Spain -- Barcelona to be exact, the stylish, fun-loving city of Gaudi, where it always feels like carnival time. The first thing most visitors do is ramble the famous Ramblas, the boulevard of birdcages, flower sellers, and street performers. My first stop was the tourist office to pick up my Barcelona Press Card. It saved me over $187 on admission fees.

Since the start of the year I’ve visited the Philippines, Malaysia, Ecuador, and paid a return visit to France -- not Paris this time, but the beautiful Midi Pyrenees region of pilgrim trails and medieval towns. And this month, I'm off to Iceland, just in time to catch the end of the Viking Festival. I’m definitely looking forward to that!

Knowing a travel writer is on the way, the organizers have promised me something appropriate to wear. Seems like I’ll be participating, not onlooking...

Apologies if I'm making you envious, but you too could quite easily have a job like mine.

In fact, my own editor is crying out for correspondents to report on destinations throughout the world... and she's not the only editor seeking fresh talent. To be honest, I have to turn work down—there simply aren't enough hours in the day to take up all the writing commissions I'm offered.

And if you're interested in becoming a freelance travel writer, you should know that it's easily something you could do on the side. You needn't commit full-time to it (unless you want to).

And that's why I'd like for you to listen to this recording… because there's extraordinary opportunity out there for the people who can do this well… and you could easily be among them. Once you know a few important secrets, the rest is easy.

There's Extraordinary Opportunity Out There…
for People Who Understand the Business, that Is

International Living is typical of all the travel publications out there. They always need people who love to travel… and who can relate their experiences in an interesting way.

Don't think that you're restricted to writing only for travel magazines. Literally thousands of magazines are published in the US each year. And many non-travel publications devote at least a page or two each month to travel-related articles.  Plus there's a whole additional market to tap into: English-language publications based outside North America -- in Australia, Britain, South Africa, and beyond. What's more, new online travel sites spring up every week.

In other words, great opportunity exists out there for writers who understand the business.

Problem is, most people don't have a clue about what travel editors and publishers are really looking for. They dash off an article they think is appealing and send it in. Nine times out of ten, it's off-the-mark. And it's no wonder they don't get published.

But I’d like to set the record straight and reveal to you what it really takes to make editors happy… what drives them crazy… what you can do to get in their good graces early on… and stay there… and more…

You Don't Need a Literary Gift
or a Degree in Journalism to Be Successful

The truth is, you don't have to be a gifted wordsmith to write articles that sell and start cashing in on the many perks established travel writers enjoy.

Most people think you have to be a professional journalist or writer to get a foot in the door in this industry. But that's simply not the case.

Many of the most successful writers IL has worked with over the years never had any formal training as "writers" per se. They simply enjoyed a passion for travel, had a good eye for detail, and learned how to deliver a story in just the way an editor would want it.

If you like to travel, you can learn the other skills. In fact, on the recording, you’ll also hear from a long-time friend and colleague, Jen Stevens, author of The Ultimate Travel Writer's Program and for many years my editor at International Living. She's just the person to show you how to put yourself on the fast track to travel-writing success immediately.

You’ll also hear from prolific travel writer, Roy Stevenson. Just two years ago, he’d never written a travel article. Now he’s got 330 by-lines to his name. He’ll tell you how he did it. And he’ll share his easy – and lucrative – system for cashing in on one article, two… three… even four or five times.

Just think: Six months from now, you could be enjoying the freedom, the independence, and the unbeatable perks of a writer's life…

… like Loren Worthington is. He had no proven writing skills before he took advantage of some help from Jen. Now he can boast several published articles -- and paychecks along with them. Plus recently he arranged to take a complimentary, high-speed ride down the Olympic bobsled track in Utah, and now he's working on an article about his "adrenalin travels," which he'll sell to a publication to earn a by-line and a check.

Earn Money as a Travel Writer
without Ever Leaving Home

There's something else, too, which you may not realize: To make some extra money, and to have great travel experiences, you don't even have go far from home if you don't want to.

Take for example one of the best meals I ever ate, it was a freebie and only a few miles from where I live in Ireland.

In County Galway, I stopped at a little thatched-roof pub (it's called Moran’s of the Weir, in Clarinbridge -- very well known in culinary circles).

When the owner realized I was a travel writer, he brought out platefuls of fresh mollusks from his own oyster beds, a mighty plate of salmon dressed with salad, baskets of delicious home-made Irish soda bread, and cream-topped pints of Guinness. It was all free -- even for my husband.

The point is you can get paid to write about a place that's a few minutes from your own home… no matter where in the world you live. Your hometown is a "destination" for somebody, after all.

I know of one Florida-based freelancer who's made a business of writing stories about places within easy reach of her home -- an article about Amelia Island for a Canadian newspaper… one on Jacksonville for the Miami Herald… a piece on the town of Cassadaga for Florida Travel magazine… an article about winter golf in Florida for a lifestyle magazine… and the list goes on.

I bet you can think of all sorts of worthwhile subjects you might write about just outside your own door. And who better to write about your own hometown… than you?

Why Not Live On Permanent Vacation?

Let me ask you something…

Have you ever found yourself daydreaming during work, imagining you were on some far-off tropical island… sipping a cold cocktail… enjoying the warm surf lapping at your toes?

Maybe you've dreamt 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 Bordeaux…

Here's the thing: If you were a travel writer, you wouldn't have to daydream. You could just go! We travel writers live this dream year-round. Take Mike Palmer, for instance.

Mike had planned a week-long vacation in Ecuador and wanted to spend a few days at an all-inclusive tropical rain forest lodge, reachable only by boat on the Napo River. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars for the experience, Mike contacted the owner, introduced himself as a travel writer on assignment doing an adventure story, and he was offered the trip at no charge!

And that's only the beginning. As a travel writer, Mike has played golf, free, on some of Ireland's best links courses. He's taken all-expenses-paid trips all over the world -- to places like Russia, Belgium, Panama, and Spain, just to name a few. And he's enjoyed complimentary meals as well as comped tickets to theater productions, movies, sporting events, and more.

And consider travel writer Daryl Emerson's experience: He planned to write an article about a few places in the Caribbean. So he contacted several hotels in Bonaire and Belize and was offered a free week's stay in both locations. And it didn't stop there -- the manager of the hotel in Bonaire even invited him to stay an extra week at their resort in Curacao.

The Other Way to Fly, Dine, and Stay… No Charge

The truth is, well-established writers rarely pay their own way. If they aren't being treated to a press trip, the publication they're writing for picks up the tab.

As a freelance writer, I'm constantly traveling around the world to report on places, events, and opportunities that my editor wants covered for her readers. Of course, she foots the bill. In recent months I've been to Slovakia, New Zealand, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and beyond. (And on top of getting paid to travel to these places, I'm also paid for the articles that I write.)

Sure, you need a track-record -- other articles you've written and published -- before any editor is going to call you up and offer to pay for your trip.

But my point is: Once you've learned the secrets to producing the kinds of articles publications are looking for, you'll be well on your way to establishing a name for yourself. You'll be opening the door to a whole new life where you get to travel the world while somebody else pays your expenses… and then pays you to write about what you've seen and done.

Unbelievable Fringe Benefits:
You'll Never Travel as a Tourist Again

You'll find you'll never travel like a tourist again. As part of a distinguished circle of trained travel-writing professionals, you gain a "calling card" of sorts.

You see, when you tell people you're a travel writer (a harbinger of good press, as it were), you'll discover that they will bend over backwards to ensure you enjoy your experience. Nothing's too much trouble.

You'll be taken in the VIP entrance… served the best meals… escorted to the most expensive seats… offered a private tour…
