Travel Writing Jobs Hiring Now – A List for Newbies!

Last Updated: October 19, 2021

*FYI - this post may contain affiliate links, which means we earn a commission at no extra cost to you if you purchase from them. Also, as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Check out our Privacy Policy and Disclosure. for more info.

As far as dream jobs go, getting paid to write about travel is pretty darn sweet, so I’ve compiled a list of freelance travel writing jobs for you below that are currently accepting pitches and submissions, even from newbie travel writers.

I’m very fortunate in that my own blogging ventures now support me full time, but back in the early days of blogging, I mainly devoted my days to toiling and blogging for free… or worse, for exposure.

I don’t know if you’ve every tried buying Chipotle with exposure, but it usually doesn’t pan out. And you most definitely don’t get guac.

Well, if you’re looking for travel writer jobs so you, too, can start getting paid to travel, this post is for you.

Save this list of freelance travel writing jobs for later!

You’ll be very glad you did.

An Honest Note on Finding Travel Writer Jobs

If you’re wondering how to be a travel writer, or how to earn a full-time living as a content writer for travel websites, here’s the truth: behind every glamorous travel writer is a long history of hustle, failed pitches and crippling self-doubt.

Not to scare you off or anything, but breaking into the travel writing industry and finding well-paying freelance travel writing jobs is a real piece of work.

You’ll find a truly shocking range in the amount that publications pay. In this list for example, I have publications that offer anything from $10 per article to $750.

Professional travel writing friends of mine tell me they usually make upwards of $1000 per print article.

So really, the range is huge. This list is mainly meant for newbie travel writers looking to break into the industry and find freelance travel writing jobs that will accept cold pitches from anyone.

Once you become more experienced, build relationships with editors, and assemble a stronger portfolio for yourself, you should be able to command much higher rates and secure work more consistently.

For now though, if you’re an aspiring travel content writer, refer to my list below of publications online that accept travel writing pitches and submissions from regular folks, arranged from highest payout to lowest.

NOTE: That there are plenty more freelance travel writing jobs out there accepting submissions (especially big names like National Geographic and Travel + Leisure), but I specifically chose ones that are open to submissions from anyone (including newbies/non-pros), had clear guidelines outlined on their website.

Freelance Travel Writers Wanted! Write for Me 🙂

Before I launch into the list of freelance travel writing jobs below, I’m actively looking for writers to contribute to this blog you see right here.

Specifically, I am looking for experts in USA or Europe travel who can write with a humourous tone and research unique, fun and offbeat things to do for city guides and itineraries.

If this sounds like you, send me an email with the subject title “Guacamole Donuts!”, along with some writing samples and your rate per blog post. NOTE: Due to a high volume of emails, I will only be replying to pitches I am interested in. Thanks for your understanding, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Now, onto the other places you can get paid for writing articles about travel…

Los Angeles Times

Payment: Print stories vary from $200 to $750. Online only stories generally pay $500. Original photos paid separately

Let’s start with a big one – according to their official website, the Los Angeles Times is looking for “bold, original travel features that tell a great story.”

Specifically, they are on the hunt for content that is “sophisticated, compelling, complete and written with flair.”

Click here for their writing guidelines

Cruising World

Payment: Ranges from $25 – $1000 depending on a variety of factors

Cruise experts looking for a paid travel writing gig (and a potentially very lucrative one at that) should look into Cruising World, who are looking for a variety of articles from a first-person perspective.

I’ve only ever been on one cruise before (the Celebrity Edge !) but if you’re an exert on cruises, this would be a great travel writing job to pursue.

Learn more about this freelance travel writing opportunity here

Wanderlust Travel Magazine

Payment: £220 per article

Wanderlust publishes 10 issues a year and is mainly on the hunt for “inspirational round-ups, lists, guides and advice pieces” rather than narrative pieces… so imagine articles like my places to visit in England piece, my places to visit in the Cotswolds piece, or my Germany travel guide.

Specifically, they want writing with a “trustworthy voice and inspirational ideas”.

Learn more about writing for them here

International Living Magazine

Payment:  $225 for 900 words and $350 for 1,600 words

This magazine “aims at providing a scope and depth of information about global travel, living, retiring, investing, and real estate that is not available anywhere else at any price.”

This is not a general travel magazine, but rather a “niche publication for living and retiring overseas”, so definitely don’t be pitching them general travel hacks , packing tips, or off-brand content like guides on backpacking in Europe.

Read more about contributing for them here

Payment: $200 per article/photo essay

For those interested in travel writing jobs related to the US, road tripping, and RV-ing, definitely look into becoming a contributor for ROVA.

Specifically, they are looking for “stories of life on the road” in the US.

Here are their contributor guidelines

Pathfinders Travel Magazine

Payment: $150 per article, $20 per photo

Pathfinders is another pay per article site that has a target audience of African Americans (although they sometimes accept content relating to other persons of colour).

They’re looking for “lively, original, well-written stories that provide a good sense of place, with useful information and fresh ideas about travel and the travel industry.”

Check out their Writers’ Guidelines here

Escapees Magazine

Payment:  $150 per article (max)

This one is a bit more niche, but is an excellent freelance writing gig if you have the necessary expertise.

Escapees Magazine is looking for contributors who are “RVers interested in sharing the RV lifestyle” and can write in an engaging and conversational tone.

So, if you are looking for a travel writer job dealing with RVs, this is a great option.

You can read their guidelines for submission here

Great Escape Publishing

Payment: $150 for interviews, personal stories, and any articles they request for the website

While they don’t accept pure travel pieces, Great Escape Publishing is on the look for “articles on the craft and business of getting paid to travel, whether by writing, photography, tours or other means.”

If you are an expert on getting paid to travel, or are interested in freelance travel writing jobs on this topic, then this would be a great oppotunity to look into.

Check out their writers’ guidelines here

Intrepid Times

Payment: $50 – $150 per article

Intrepid Times publishes narrative travel writing with heart. They are looking for factual, first-person narratives of between 800 and 2000 words about your travel experiences.

Submit your writing on their official site here

Tales to Go

Payment: $100 honorarium per article

If you’re a freelance travel content writer with great stories to tell, here is an opportunity you might be interested in. Tales to Go is “looking for personal, nonfiction stories and anecdotes—funny, illuminating, adventurous, frightening, or grim.”

Specifically, they are seeking stories that “reflect that unique alchemy that occurs when you enter unfamiliar territory and begin to see the world differently as a result.” Bonus: they accept previously published content!

View their Submission Guidelines here

Payment: $100 per list

If you want to find paid blog writing opportunities outside of the travel niche, then here’s one. Listverse isn’t limited to just travel content, so you can submit content on anything from cheesy country pickup lines to world capitals , plus their process is very simple. According to their website:

“You write your list (10 items per list minimum), you send it in , we reply and say “Great—we’ll publish it” and send you $100 by PayPal”. Not a bad deal!

Here’s how you can write for Listverse

Matador Network

Payment: $80-$100 per article

While no longer limited to just writing, Matador Network regularly posts open calls for written submissions based on topics they’re looking for on their Matador Creators page.

They have a lot of different freelance travel writing jobs they post on there, but usually they specify what area of expertise they’re looking for, whether it’s for an event like Oktoberfest , or destination specific like knowing all the best places to visit in France.

See available paid travel writing opportunities here

Hit the Road

Payment : $50 per article

Looking for freelance travel writing jobs related to road tripping? Hit the Road is seeking “original writing, photography, and video that speaks to the adventures, cultures, and amazing experiences of road trips in Australia, New Zealand the USA and Canada.”

The Expeditioner for example looks for “first-person narratives of all lengths and sizes (anywhere from 1,200 words and up),” and on occasion also “Top 10 pieces, location overviews and other types of non-narrative pieces”.

According to their site, their only requirement is that the “piece be interesting, informative and inspiring for future travelers.”

Their Submissions page can be found here

My Itchy Travel Feet

This site is looking for original content that caters to their target audience of “active, travel-loving baby boomers”. The content they’re looking for is “personable and relatable… [but] also informative.”

This is another example of blogs that pay writers and are actively looking for article writers.

Visit their contributors page here

Go World Travel

Payment: $30-40 per article/photo essay

Content writing for travel sites can often feel like an impossible industry to break into, but there are definitely plenty out there that welcome first-time writers as well.

For an opportunity that is newbie-friendly, Go World Travel welcomes all kinds of contributors “from seasoned travel journalists to first-time writers”. They’re on the hunt for “honest, down-to-earth descriptive writing” (so no plain listicles here!).

Thank you for this clear and useful information and advice. I’m going to be traveling with a group of teen girls in a few weeks and thought maybe I could write a freelance article about the pre-planning and actual trip when I get back. I’m trying to capture the entire process in notes and images for latter when I sit down to write. Do you think a trip to LA California to a concert with 4 teen girls is something the companies you spoke of who be interested in purchasing?

Hey Cheaquetta, sounds like a fun trip!! All of these publications have different focuses, so I would recommend sitting down and doing some research of your own to determine whether or not your piece will be a good fit. I would find publications that have published similar content in the past and go from there. 🙂 Best of luck!

Useful information. Many thanks. I’d like to try to write something for them.

8 Tips for Landing Remote Content Writer Jobs

I magine a job where you can set your own schedule, work from where you want, and modify your workload as needed. Becoming a freelance writer is one of the best ways to make this dream a reality. More and more people are looking for remote jobs, especially since people now strive to stay out of the office .

There are plenty of remote content writer jobs out there, but not everybody understands how to maximize their chances of landing one. We’ve created a brief guide that can put you on the right track toward growing your career as a professional writer. Let’s explore the key information you should know.

1. Leverage Your Contacts

When diving into the freelance lifestyle, there’s a chance one of your personal contacts can provide info on available jobs. They might have a friend who owns a business, for example. In some cases, someone you know could use your services.

It doesn’t hurt to ask, so keep this opportunity in mind when moving forward. A simple question could drastically change your life.

2. Focus on Your Niche

When marketing yourself as a writer, it’s important to focus on your niche. This could include multiple categories depending on your areas of expertise.

For instance, you can focus on finance, tech, and business content. Be honest with yourself about your level of knowledge in different topics. If you don’t feel confident that you can deliver top-tier content, hold off on that particular area.

The last thing you want is to damage client relationships early in your writing career. Getting started is the hardest part, and it’s essential to do what you can to build your clientele.

3. Do Your Research

Finding the best freelance writing opportunities involves abundant research. You should decide whether you want to write directly for clients or use an existing platform.

In the early stages of your career, finding clients can be difficult. This is especially true if you don’t have previous experience as a professional writer.

When looking for content writing services, check what other writers have to say. Are they generally satisfied with how the platform operates?

How much do they tend to make? A notable platform is iWriter, which simplifies the onboarding process and lets writers get started ASAP.

So, how does iWriter work ? This page has plenty of useful information. As long as you do your due diligence, you shouldn’t have issues making the right decision.

4. Set Yourself Apart

There’s no shortage of writers looking to do exactly what you’re doing, and standing out from your competition is crucial when pursuing writing opportunities.

Assess what makes you unique as a professional and emphasize it. For instance, you might be someone who’s often near their computer and works efficiently.

You could advertise that you have short production times and are easy to get in touch with. A great way to provide insight into what clients can expect is to create a website for yourself.

Be sure to keep things brief, though. People looking for writers often spend only a few minutes at most browsing different options.

5. Craft a Killer Portfolio

Having the right portfolio will dictate how quickly you find the type of work you desire. If you haven’t completed professional projects in the past, you can still put your own work on your site.

However, you should only showcase work that aligns with the type of projects you want to handle. For instance, you might be interested in writing web content for small businesses. Having a few high-quality examples of what you’re capable of will help you find clients.

6. Constantly Expand Your Knowledge

The more you learn about the freelance industry, the greater your chances of success. There are many nuances associated with freelance writing that transcend the writing itself. For instance, you’ll need to pay taxes as a small business owner instead of an employee.

This is true even if you use a content writing platform, as you’re technically an independent contractor. Independent contractors can’t be told how or when to work, but they pay extra taxes. Stay aware of this obligation so you don’t run into financial issues in the future.

The last thing you want is to get a tax bill you can’t afford. It’s not a bad idea to hire an accountant as your income grows. Not only can they help you manage your finances, but they can help you save money through tax exemptions and write-offs

7. Look For a Mentor

It’s never a bad idea to look for a mentor who has experience in freelance writing. This can be one of the most valuable resources you encounter if leveraged appropriately. High-quality mentors will be easy to communicate with and enthusiastic about helping you.

Keep in mind they may need your assistance on personal projects in exchange for the insight they provide. Don’t be afraid to spend a few hours per week helping them out so you can learn key information about freelance writing.

If you can’t find a mentor, don’t worry. It’s not a necessity.

As your expertise increases, you may have the opportunity to serve as a mentor for others. This can be an incredibly rewarding experience that also teaches you more about your profession.

8. Don’t Give up

It can be discouraging to get ghosted by potential clients or have trouble finding work. If you give up, though, you’re guaranteed to fail.

Even if your situation seems bleak, keep pushing forward. The more you market yourself, the better chance you have of developing client relationships.

The more work you complete, the better you’ll get at your craft. Over time, everything will fall into place, and you’ll build the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of.

Don’t Overlook Remote Content Writer Jobs

While remote content writer jobs require accountability and diligence, they can transform your life if handled correctly. The tips in this guide will ensure you hit the ground running and give yourself the best chance of landing the position you need.
