S2 E23: FAQs on How to Get Your Travel Stories Published with Yulia Denisyuk
In this episode, I cover some of the most frequently asked questions I get about working in the travel media industry.
Over the past five years, I’ve gone from having no clue how the travel media industry works to becoming an award-winning travel photographer and writer. In that time, I’ve worked with publications like BBC Travel, National Geographic Traveller, Conde Nast Traveler, AFAR, Lonely Planet, and more, and I’ve gone on assignments to incredible places like Mongolia and Rwanda.
