I am a recent High School graduate and am leaving this January for Australia, where I will be staying for 10 months with a youth ministry program. I see this in part as an opportunity to practice my narrative capabilities and write... a lot. I really enjoy writing, and this will be my first trip out of the country! I hope to be a travel journalist some day. Are there any specific courses you would recommend taking in University, other than Journalism? And in order to get hired with a travel company, I suppose you have to pitch an article, right? If you have anymore advice, I'd love to read about it! I provided my email, if you get the time. Thanks again for your response to Maggie! Lindsay Hello Mr. Potts,

Im a 19 year old and I love traveling and narrating the experience about any place is just amazing. I love to explore different places of the world but I have not been that lucky to explore. I come from a conservative Indian family and I have traveled India extensively. I collect information about untouched lands which are pure and mysterious. I don't know if I can take it up as a profession but its a dear hobby to me. I need to expand my horizons. please suggest somethings like travel magazines and other things. Regards to all.

Travel writing is an idea I have been toying with for the last few months. I'm just not sure how it would work. I would like to do it just as a side gig so would I just send my writing to magazines and newspapers? Kellye Hi Rolf,
