The insider tips you’ll need to turn your own travel experiences into easy-to-compose blogs, posts, and articles that you can publish yourself—or sell to newspapers, magazines and websites.
Ever wonder if your taste for interesting travel and off-the-beaten-track destinations could lead to publication—and maybe even a new career? Peter Mandel, a nationally-known adventure travel journalist for The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and National Geographic Kids, will deliver the inside scoop on how to shape your own travel experiences into easy-to-compose blogs, posts, and articles that you can publish yourself, or sell to newspapers, magazines and websites. The author of ten books, Mandel will weave in instruction with slides of his most extreme travel experiences: surviving a coup in Ecuador, visiting a ‘city’ of penguins at the South Pole, fishing for piranha on Brazil’s Rio Negro, floating in the Goodyear Blimp, sailing on an Arctic icebreaker, camping in the African bush, and kayaking to the Statue of Liberty.
