Hey Fitz,

CU TRAVEL SOCIETY - TRAVEL GUIDE WRITER - DREAM JOB?

Fancy getting paid to travel? Sounds like the dream job. Guidebook writing is often seen as a glamorous profession, with writers gallivanting around the globe visiting major sights, writing about local cuisine and reviewing the odd dune buggy ride. But guidebook writing has its challenges.

At our March 11th event, a panel of three travel guide writers/editors (Kiki, Lottie and Rebecca - read more about them on the FB event page!!) will bring us to the world of travel and guidebook writing, shedding light on what it’s really all about.
