Being paid to travel the world and write about it may sound like a dream job — and you’ve never heard me complain while I peck away on my computer from a cafe in Rome or an oceanfront hotel in Spain. But it’s not always as glamorous as it sounds. Travel writers encounter the same nuisances that every other traveler does — like language barriers, airline fees, lost passports and the eternal struggle to have the best possible trip at an affordable price.
My friends at Independent Traveler asked 35 writers and bloggers (including me!) to share their hard-earned travel wisdom from their lives on the road. Ranging from the practical to the profound, the travel secrets they reveal offer insights and ideas for every traveler. Read our top travel secrets, and share some of your own.
