Trevor's Travels

In today’s fast-paced, modern world, the importance of taking a holiday becomes imperative. Getting away from your daily routine helps you gain some much needed rest and relaxation. Taking a peaceful holiday can also aid in your long-term happiness, in both your work and your personal life. However, as people start to take holidays more frequently, it also becomes necessary that the holidays are less expensive.

In the last decade, the rise of the budget airline has made travel all the more affordable for a wide cross-section of potential holiday-goers. These airlines have increased the number of flights made from a variety of destinations across the UK to a range of locations in both Europe and beyond, from Paris to Istanbul and Stockholm to the Costa del Sol. As a result, many more people are able to travel to their dream holiday destinations, whether that means lounging on a stunning beach for a week or taking a weekend city break in a intriguing foreign capital.

What’s more, the advent of the internet has made it possible for travellers to find cheap holiday packages and inexpensive accommodation for their getaway with ease. Many leading travel sites offer a variety of cheap package holidays, from theatre breaks in London to discounts on cruises up the River Nile. Often, the earlier you book your holiday online, the easier it is to find an inexpensive holiday deal; however, with many travel sites, cheaper deals are available much closer to the departure date. So if you’re facing a long weekend with no plans ahead of you, you might be able to book a cheap weekend break away as late as the day before you plan to leave!

And if the plethora of cheap holiday deals available online or on the high street means that you’re spoilt for choice, you’re now able to turn to a range of holiday review sites for comprehensive advice straight from the horse’s mouth. Travel blogs and travel review sites offer thousands of reviews of holiday locations and resort destinations; so, when it comes to making a decision about where to take your holiday, you’ll be equipped with all the information you need.

And don’t forget, while flights and accommodation are the bare essentials of travel, it’s important not to skimp on important travel products, like travel insurance, in the interest of saving money on your cheap holiday. It’s perfectly possible to find cheap travel insurance online or with high street insurers. By taking out cheap travel insurance on your cheap holiday, you’ll obtain peace of mind in knowing that you’re covered for any medical costs you might incur, as well as any baggage mishandling or personal loss that arises. Moreover, many cheap travel insurance providers let you add on to your basic coverage, so you can take out extra cover if you expect to participate in any winter sports or extreme activities, like bungee jumping or sky-diving. This way, you’ll gain the freedom to enjoy your holiday the way you want to, without any worry or hassle.

Have you ever wanted to travel the world and make money for writing about what you see? It’s not as hard as you may imagine. Using a few underground techniques, you can be making a healthy income in no-time flat for writing about traveling the world!

Here are the ways you can make money as a travel writer:

1) Traditional Method: Selling Your Stories To Travel Magazines and Newspapers.

This is the most common and most well-known method. Ironically, it also pays the least of all the methods.

You can take two paths when selling your article to a magazine. First you can query a magazine on their interest about a particular subject. If interested, they will agree to buy your article if it meets their standards. The second method is to write the article, then try and sell it.

To find magazines and periodicals that purchase travel stories, go to the library and check out the most recent Writers Market and you’ll have over a dozen periodicals that pay anywhere from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand dollars for an article.

The risky side to this is that there are no guarantees of payment, and you must either have a great story or be a great writer to make this work. Not impossible, just tough.

2) Writing For Other People’s Blogs.

If you can write a 400-1500 word post on any given subject, you can sell the post to a blog at a set price. Heres why: Blogs constantly need new content. It’s how they stay fresh with their readers and how they stay well-ranked in the search engines.

However, writing a new post every few days is a difficult task! If you take over that task for a blog owner, you’re going to be saving them a TON of time and effort, providing their readers with great value, and making an income for a project that is relatively easy for you to complete.

You can get paid anywhere from 20 bucks to a few hundred dollars for this kind of writing… and it’s a LOT easier to do that writing for a magazine.

Think of it: You spend a day writing 5 articles and sell the articles for $30 dollars each. Now you’ve made $150 dollars for a couple of hours of work and everyone is happy.

3) Writing for Your Own Blog.

Another option is to write your own blog and use your travel stories to drive traffic to it. You’d be surprised at the number of bored, lifeless people who want to live vicariously through someone traveling the world. You can then monetize your blog by selling adspace or selling products related to your blog. This sounds basic, but it has made many-a-traveler tens and even 100’s of thousands of dollars per year.

4) Completing Writing Projects on ‘Project’ Sites.

There are literally hundreds of writing projects posted every single day on Elance, Guru, DoMyStuff, and other ‘project’ posting websites.

All you have to do is set up a free account as a content provider, then answer people’s requests for writing projects. Once you’re done, the funds will be electronically deposited into your bank account, and you can withdraw the money from any ATM in the world. You can then pick up another project… or complete several projects all at once!

Many projects go for $1000+ dollars, so it doesn’t take a lot of these to be able to travel well and travel often. You can even do the work on the airplane ride to your next destination!

If you have any writing skill at all, you will be able to pick one of these methods and become a well-paid traveler.
