So...you want to be a travel writer?
 

Apparently <font color="green">travel writing</font> is a job filled with travel...<i>but</i> without any vacations! :S

Still want to do it? ;-)
Check out this recent NY Times article...
I (probably) still want to do it! :))

Thanks for the link. It was an interesting article.

I agree. I had looked at the travel issue, but missed this one.

Good find.

Best wishes,

Rex

Rex, you missed it because it was in the Styles section, not the Travel section.
The article certainly deglamorizes the travel-writing profession.

Thanks for the link, JA.

&gt;...they hired the most well-traveled 20-somethings they could find.&lt; :) :)

ira,

<i> &quot;Have I gotten lost?&quot; Ms. McDonald asked rhetorically. &quot;I'm virtually always lost.&quot;</i>

I too am virtually always lost...but I'd like to get paid for it! ;)

Sounds decidedly un-glamourous.

The writer Lief's blog, www.killingbatteries.com, is really funny, including his take on the Frommer's publisher quotes.
