What do you do with your travel journal once you’ve returned home? Craft those quickly jotted notes that were taking while sipping espresso on the piazza into a well crafted travel narrative and submit them to the Traveler’s Notebook Notes From the Road series. And you’ll get paid!
Known for its more in-depth informative articles on destinations, and all kinds of how-to’s — including getting the most out of your bus tour and traveling by cargo ship — Traveler’s Notebook is now looking for shorter travel dispatches that do an excellent job of portraying the sounds, smells and characters of a certain place or experience.
