I’ve just signed a variety of scary looking documents to seal a travel-blogging deal with Gadling for the duration of my upcoming one month trip in Romania. I’m going to attempt to post 3-5 times a week in posts of 750 words or less (testing the upper threshold of my powers of brevity) about subjects such as post-EU changes, food, drink, hitchhiking, how kick ass my LP guide to Romania is and why you should never take directions from drunk dudes.
Post frequency here will suffer as a result, but hey, 3-5 times a week is more of me than even my ex-wife could handle, so you should all be plenty sated.
See you down the rabbit hole.
nice one. Looking forward to seeing your posts.
Great work on your Gadling column, currently my favorite series.
I’d love to hear how you got your LP deal and any tips you may have for aspiring travel writers, LP and otherwise.
Hey Tyler,
I applied for LP when I saw they needed a Romania author on their wish-list page: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/jobs/becomeauthor.cfm
Also, you might enjoy a rather dated, but entertaining post I wrote about being an LP author here: http://killingbatteries.com/2006/04/so-you-want-to-be-a-lonely-planet-author/
