Social Media/Press Trips
What better way to promote a specific destination than by inviting an established travel blogger to visit and explore what a particular city, region and/or country has to offer. There is no easier way to create an instant and far-reaching buzz as I live-tweet and post my experiences during such a trip, as well as write several articles to be placed directly on my site. (My recent trip with the South African Tourism Board is a great example.)
Post/Page Sponsorship
While I always retain control over everything written, if you offer a product/service that my readers would find useful, you can sponsor a particular post or informational page with a short blurb of your own.
Speaking Engagements
I am available for speaking on a variety of topics including long-term travel, alternatives to the 9-5 lifestyle, travel planning and travel motivation. Contact me for more details and in order to schedule a presentation for your group or organization.
Other Ideas
Always feel free to get in touch with me if you have other sponsorship ideas that you wish to discuss.
All rates will be provided upon request.
Please visit my “Press” page to learn more about where my writing and blog have been mentioned on the internet.
You can always reach me by filling out the contact form here: Contact Form. I will always personally reply to every email, however, please give me a few days as I am sometimes traveling in regions without reliable internet access.
Back in 1999, I left home for a 3 month trip to Asia that has still yet to end.
