Interview with a Travel Writer

October 28, 2011 by FutureExpat

Imagine being paid to travel and experience the best the world has to offer.

As a travel writer, that’s exactly what you do. It’s a top portable career pick for many expats, because when you’re writing about the world it doesn’t matter where you call home.

Lucy Culpepper has been a travel writer for over a decade, and she manages to keep a very busy schedule.

Originally from the UK, Lucy’s also an experienced traveler and a serial expat. She’s lived in Central America, France, Spain and England. She’s traveled throughout the Americas, Asia, Europe and even Iceland.

Recently I sat down with Lucy to talk about travel writing. I spoke with her about how she got her start as a travel writer, and how she balances the fun of travel with the work of completing her assignments.

Enjoy the video!

How to Be a Travel Writer

Have you ever wondered how to be a travel writer? There are two programs I recommend.

MatadorU Travel Writing Course. MatadorU calls itself a “new media” school and teaches writing, photography and film making. Prestigious publications like National Geographic Traveler seek out their graduates.

Find out more about MatadorU’s Travel Writing Program here.

The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program, brought to you by AWAI. It’s a top-notch program designed by a seasoned travel writer and copywriter. Along with it comes their photo-journalism guide. They offer a 30-day money back guarantee, but the travel phogography guide is yours to keep either way.

Find out more about The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program here.

With the help of either of these programs, you could see your name in print within a few short months.
