Personal Travel Story Writer

I’m putting together a collection of vivid, first-person travel stories and need a writer who can drop readers straight into the moment—tastes, sounds, mishaps and all. The focus is firmly on personal experience rather than guidebook facts, so each piece should feel like an intimate retelling of an unforgettable trip.

Destinations are completely open: pitch me the places you know best, whether they’re bucket-list icons or hidden corners most tourists miss. Authenticity matters more than location. Aim for 800–1,200 words per story, written in clear, engaging English, with practical tips woven in naturally (no rigid “dos and don’ts” sections).

Deliverables
• 1 polished, original personal travel story to start (with the option to expand into a series)
• A 40–60-word teaser for social media promotion
• At least one rights-cleared photo that complements the narrative

Please send a short writing sample—ideally another travel piece—plus a brief outline of additional stories you could cover and your timeframe. All work must be original and pass plagiarism checks. Let’s inspire readers to pack a bag the moment they finish your story.
