Let me show you how.
As a travel writer, I've had all-expenses paid trips to Sweden, Fiji, Vietnam, Canada, Denmark, the Phillipines, India and more.
I’ve swum with turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, meditated with monks in Chiang Mai, slept in a castle in Jaipur and explored the floating villages of Bangkok on bike.
And I was paid for all of it.
Sound good?

My travel writing has appeared in major publications like The Guardian, The Telegraph, AFAR, Travel + Leisure, Escape, Travel + Luxury, Traveller, delicious., Luxury Escapes and loads more.
But here’s the rub.
Since the pandemic, travel and travel writing has changed.
If you’re dreaming of being paid to travel, you need to know how to pitch and write stories that travel editors want right now.
Exploring tiny villages, getting to know the locals, eating regional food, business class flights, VIP access to chefs, luxury hotel stays and indulgent spa experiences are still up for grabs but you need to know how to unlock them
And no, you don't need...
I broke into my dream publication - Condé Nast Traveller!
I have been doing freelance travel writing for the last 4 years but have only had a few articles published.
After doing this training, I gave myself a pitching challenge. I began sending pitches using some of Lindy’s strategies, which were new to me.
Out of the 20 pitches I sent, I got 4 commissions, one of which was in my dream publication, Condé Nast Traveller.
In my last 4 years of travel writing, this is the first time I have received 4 commissions in such a short span of time.
From sending pitches to collaborating with PRs to getting hosted on trips, Lindy’s travel writing course has been a game-changer for me.

I've been published by Australian Geographic!
I cannot tell you how excited I was to see my story published in Australian Geographic – such a prestigious publication!
Lindy not only helped me brainstorm publications that might be interested in the story idea, but she also gave some valuable feedback to refine my pitch to a different targeted publication, after the initial pitch was rejected. During the writing process, Lindy was in the background supporting me with encouraging messages.
If you’re lacking confidence with pitching and wondering if you can write for your dream publications, having Lindy’s expertise and insight makes such a difference.
My dream came true!

I got my first commission from International Traveller magazine 🎉
This travel writing training really helped me hone my ideas into pitchable stories.
I had lots of ideas but it helped me understand what’s needed to grab an editor’s attention and get commissioned (and also why I was getting rejected!) in this really competitive area of writing.
I also found the practical tips around the finer details, such as what editors expect in terms of photography, invaluable.
After a recent trip to London I watched this training and found myself full of ideas, which led to my first commission from International Traveller magazine.

Being a travel writer was always “just a dream”.
I worked as a social worker for 10 years before I followed my passion and started writing features for magazines and newspapers.
But deep down I wanted to break into travel writing.
It took me a few years, but after one travel story, suddenly I was being invited on trips to Fiji, Canada and Thailand.
This is the training I wish I had had when I was starting out as a travel writer.
It’s practical, simple and based on years of experience.
Are you ready to join me?
I came into the training feeling downhearted.
Yesterday, inspired by your training, I reached out to a tourist board.
They responded today offering to support my planned travel there this summer and also provided me with a list of upcoming press trips and an open invitation if I could get a commission.
Having the confidence to reach out and knowing what to say has made all the difference!
- Jenny Elliott
I love your approach to training. You scaffold knowledge of the travel industry from personal experience.
Your processes (from idea to publication) are taught with detail, logical rationale and practical advice.
Your ‘real world’ and formulated approach arms novices with the confidence to jump straight in.
I’d recommend this to anyone who is ‘travel writer curious’.
I loved it all.
- Jane Hultgren
The process was very clear and I liked seeing what editors had to say.
My biggest takeaway was seeing how I could introduce myself to editors as a new travel writer and have a chance, in spite of my lack of travel writing experience.
I now feel confident, enthusiastic and equipped with clear steps.

People always say that travel writing is the hardest niche to break into – but they are wrong (shhhh).
You just need to know how to go about it.
You may already have the travel bug, but let me show you how to turn your passion into words that get you published and paid.
This training just paid for itself!
Break into Travel Writing was one of the most informative and actionable courses I’ve ever taken.
Real advice, pitching guidance and tactics on where to pitch.
It paid for itself within a few months.
I’d recommend this to anyone looking to break into travel writing, but who isn’t sure where to start.
