Hi everybody

I am John of the WiZZ.to Travel Guide.
Our travel guide puts local communities first, not airline tickets or hotel bookings.
We are trying to get a bit of collabaration going between travelers, website operators of small tourism businesses, and local travel guides.
Tourism and travel businesses can sponsor travel articles submitted by travelers or travel writers, if they do not have the skill or time to submit an article themselves, or if they want to support a good travel writer.
Authors can also submit a profile and to encourage websites to sponsor a good article, the articles are available to be copied together with the author's profile and the sponsor's link.

Find out more here: Get paid up to $40 for your travel article.

Comments and suggestions gracefully accepted Smile

CALL FOR WRITERS!

If you have been victim to the "dangers and annoyances" of life on the road, we want to hear about it!

World Swirl Press, a publishing venture of travel writer/blogger Erik R. Trinidad (TheGlobalTrip.com, the "Would You" video), is looking for contributors for an upcoming travel guide and anthology of stories about the scams you've encountered while traveling. We seek well-written, narrative stories — 1,500 words or less — each recounting the incident from beginning to end. We are also looking for "sidebar" content — lists or blurbs about the travel scams you've seen happen, heard about, or fallen for. All written contributions should detail the location of the scam, the circumstances, how it is executed and how it could be avoided. Narratives should also capture the emotion of the incident.

For details, please visit www.WorldSwirl.com. We are accepting written contributions through the end of 2008, so submit your travel scam story today!
