Travel Writing 2.0 (Second Edition): Earning Money From Your Travels in the New Media Landscape

There are a ridiculous number of generalist travel blogs out there that are pretty much interchangeable. “Here’s where I went last week. Here are a few pretty photos. Here’s what I did there.” Yawwwwnnn. If that’s the best
