Tales from a Budding Travel Writer: Getting Started in the Philippines

CHICAGO, IL-
I’ve officially been on 5 press trips now. The Philippines, Taiwan, The Grenadines, Boulder and Costa Rica.
The first one, to the Philippines, was when I was 25 years old. I didn’t know anything about travel writing or press trips or what was expected of me. I only knew that I was going to the Philippines and that everything was going to be paid for.
