Travel Writing 2.0 by Tim Leffel – A Resource for the Beginning and the Seasoned Writer

“The rules are changing fast. The way many successful travel
writers earn money has completely changed in the past five years.
The people really doing the best are the ones ignoring the traditional
paths of depending on others for a check and are charting their own
course.”

Judith Fein’s book “Life is a Trip: The Transformative Magic of Travel”

Who can ride a funeral boat in Mog Mog, alongside the deceased’s body, hang out in Mexican prison, apprentice with a shaman a la Don Juan, eat camel meat and leave for home from each adventure with a new life transforming experience?

First IFWTWA WiFTy Scholarship Awarded to Las Vegas Travel Write

“I read about the IfWTWA scholarship on Twitter and there was never any doubt in my mind that I would apply for it. When I traveled to Peru in April, I knew that Cusco had a story as the hub to the Inca Trail. Winning is already an amazing opportunity and I’m looking forward to meeting many seasoned writers on the grand prize cruise. I have no doubt it will be an education I shall never forget”. JoAnna Haugen of Las Vegas, Nevada as the IFWTWA’s WiFTy scholarship winner
