Most of all, we are looking for locals who can contribute engaging and informative content that will help travelers become familiar with all the options they have to choose from, both as they plan their journeys and once they are on the ground.

Our standard rate of pay is USD10 for each POI submitted, with a maximum contribution of 10 POIs per month. All POIs must be accompanied by a photo.

How to Apply
Applicants must be fluent in English.
There’s no need to submit a formal resume or CV, but please include a bit about yourself, your enthusiasm for travel, and your writing history when applying. If you have a brief writing sample, you may send this also. Lack of previous experience as a travel writer will not disqualify you from becoming a Local Writer.
