If you love to travel and write, you probably want to make some money out of it. My first freelance articles were travel pieces, my favorite featuring a grinning Tunisian camel named Otto.

But how do you get started in travel writing?

Awhile back, I wrote a couple how to articles for Eurotrip.com (backpacking crowd) and Escape From America magazine (older crowd into real estate and retirment opportunities abroad, but also young and quirky readers). If you need inspiration and practical advice on turning your travels into money, check out the links below:
