Great advice for someone like me, who is a bit older than most trying to “break in” to the business (at 32 years old). I love seeing these articles and getting different perspectives of what workds and what doesn't. Thanks for the tips.

After reading a lot of feedback from various travel writers, there is one thing that I am unsure of when I am writing. While many writers suggest not to write in first person because the reader doesn't want to hear about the diary of a traveler but rather a story that will take them away as if they were there themselves. However, many of your articles, as well as articles from other successful travel writers, are written in first person, and they are all great! Now, I agree that there are no rules to how a traveler writer expresses their experience and views through their writing. But, why is it that in almost every piece of advice I have read from a traveler writer is to never write in first person. Since you are such an inspiration, I am curious to know what your thoughts are on this Julia?

You have just made my day- I stumbled across your blog with the intent of reaching out for advice on becoming a successful travel writer. And here it is! I'm moving to Nice, France for six months and I'm looking forward to writing about my experience–and now I'm considering investing in a Flip Cam to take with me. I'm definitely saving this article for future reference, and to remind me to utilize my journalism background as I blog and put together pieces. Appreciate it, and look forward to reading more!

Solid advice for those trying to break into travel writing. (And thanks for sharing these at the NYTimes Travel Show on Sat., Julia) I wrote a post about five publications that publish (and pay for) travel writing and good places to start off: http://gomadnomad.com/2009/10/05/five-publicati...

This is a great piece that I tweeted today. These are all great tips and are necessary, especially if you want to become a regular contributor for a publication. It seems like everybody wants to be a travel writer these days and what publications want to see are authoritative clips from other pubs.

Informative post. As a travel writer and blogger, I'd like to add that guest posting on established blogs is another way to start building clips or links. Make sure to READ the blog before you propose a guest blog. Some blogs have guest blogging guidelines. I'm open to guest bloggers on www.Writinghorseback.com @Nancydbrown @Ridinghorseback

Hi Julia

Thaks for taking the time to reply. I see that you are still fully commited and the enthusiasm is there, which is a good sign for aspiring travel writers. Now you do mention that sometimes it can get a bit stressing, maybe annoying even? Hopefully not oo often, and I suppose that this will be what detemines how long a travel writer can be...a travel writer.

I have a realted question that I want to ask you. How does this profession cope with having a family/ spuse/partner?
