About the Open Travel Blog
Travel Information That's Actually Useful
The idea behind the Open Travel Blog is to take a different approach to travel blogging and sharing travel information. I want to provide people with travel information that is as reliable, honest and useful as possible.
I’m Duncan, the creator of the Open Travel Blog
I travel a lot, and I know that finding good online travel information is actually quite difficult. There is good info out there, but there’s also a lot of rubbish, and it means you end up wasting time sifting through everything. I also freelance as a content writer, and so I have inside knowledge on how online content gets written. I know why online travel info is often bad, and I think travellers can do a much better job.
I decided to start the Open Travel Blog because I think I can make things better for everyone.
The two basic approaches I have are…
One… To find the good information that does exist and point people in the right direction. You can skip straight to the good information on our country guides.
Two… To get the right people to write the new travel information we need. People who have first-hand travel experiences earn themselves money posting on the Open Travel Blog.
So, it’s simple. I take you straight to the good info, and I also get reliable and useful new travel info from the right people.
Writing for the Open Travel Blog
If you’re a backpacker, a traveller or a digital nomad, and you’ve got useful information to share, you can earn yourself money on the Open Travel Blog. Sign up is free to anyone, and you can post a blog in no time. The better your post does, the more you earn.
The only catch is that I have a few rules to try and ensure everyone gets the best info possible
The rules I have aren’t meant to put anyone off or to seem unfriendly. If you’re a traveller, or a recently returned one, and you think you can share something that will help other people, then you’re probably a good fit.
Plus, writing isn’t difficult… You don’t have to have perfect English, and you can even post from a mobile phone.
I just want reliable, useful information from people who know what they’re talking about.
