Travel Writing 101

Sicne this is a travel and photography-oriented blog, travel writing surely fits in. As with breaking into any profession, travel writing has its hurdles. A straight-to-the-point yet interesting (good writing always requires the latter) article is found on the Verge Magazine website.

By the way, Verge magazine, a Canadian production subtitled "Travel With Purpose," is aimed at a younger (or younger-at-heart) audience looking for adventure, planning a "gap year" journey, or hoping to live and work overseas while on a longer journey. It kind of fills in for "Transitions Abroad," a magazine that I thought was a bit more well rounded but that bit the dust last year, but that still exists in cyberspace: http://www.transitionsabroad.com/.
