World Nomads Travel Writing

Ready to take your travel writing to the next level?

This year, World Nomads Travel is looking for 3 aspiring travel writers to go on assignment in Portugal and be mentored by professional travel writer and contributor to The New York Times, Tim Neville.

On the trip, you’ll attend a comprehensive travel writing workshop with Tim and witness the evolution of this age-old civilization as it emerges as a hub for digital nomads and creatives. Then, you’ll be sent off to uncover the stories of the people who give life to the historical heart, sweeping coastlines and cobbled lanes of one of the oldest countries in Europe.

- Great descriptive ability (without getting flowery);
- A well-structured narrative and a strong eye for detail;
- Ability to uncover a great travel story and tell it in a compelling way;
- Excellent spelling and grammar and a knack for avoiding clichés.
