Twice weekly, I will share the profile of one new travel writer, travel blogger or travel photographer.
If you have been blogging, writing or taking photos for less than 2 years or have less than 10,000 unique views to your website, I invite you to be the featured ATW (Aspiring Travel Writer) of the week.
We all have something to share! Your blog may only be a few months old, but you certainly know more than someone who is still aspiring to start their travel blog! Share what you have learned and pay it forward! Then head back and check out the profiles of other ATW to pick up some great tips for your blog and travel journey.

I must give credit where credit is due. The concept for this section of my website is inspired by Johnny Jet’s Travel Style section. While my inspiration comes from Johnny, I have revamped his idea and added sections to benefit aspiring travel bloggers and writers. I was featured on his site in January of 2016 (My Q&A with Johnny Jet) and love doing a version of his travel interview for new writers and bloggers.
