Soultravelers3: From Travel Blog to Travel Book

When Soultravelers3 hit the road and started a blog back in 2006 they hadn't planned on becoming pioneers and trendsetters in family travel. But they did.

They never thought that their blog would become so popular. But it did.

They never dreamed that the New York Times would be interested in their story. But it was.

And they never really planned on ending up with a book contract. But now they have.

Learn more about their path from travelers to bloggers to future authors with this interesting post New York Times Q&A With Soultravelers3 on Frugal Traveler

Way to go...

Perceptive Travel looking for a new travel blogger...

Looking for an outlet for your travel writing?

Want to work with a great team of writers (Sheila Scarborough, Allison Stein Wellner and me)led by editor Tim Leffel?

Then you might want to apply for the travel blogger posiiton over at Perceptive Travel Blog

Here's the original post...


Perceptive Travel is Looking for a Blogger

We’re all sad to say goodbye to Antonia Malchik, who is backing off from here to spend time giving birth to a second child and work on some less timely writing pursuits. We can’t argue with that. See her sign-off note here.

So that means we’ve got a spot open for a new blogger to join us. I’ve posted a special page on the website that gives a lowdown on what’s required of the position, what kind of person we are looking for, and what it pays. (Hint—the money is probably not the main reason you would want to do this…)

As a branch of the Perceptive Travel webzine, which regularly wins writing awards and gets into those “best travel writing” book anthologies, we want a real writer. This is not some blogging sweatshop throwing up banal content just meant to feed a big network owned by search engine marketers. So as you’ll see if you follow the link, you will need to prove you belong in the company of Sheila, Alison, and Liz—-and can fill Antonia’s shoes. (Though we wouldn’t mind a guy who wouldn’t be able to put on her shoes: it would be nice to have a smidgen of testosterone in the mix now and then.)
