Two things that I have always loved are travel and writing. Since I chose to create this blog with a fairly specific theme, not everything I discover in my travels, or every story I have to tell, will be a good fit for my own blog.
That’s when I seek to write them for other websites and publications! And even if they are a fit for my blog, I still sometimes offer them to other sites with a compatible mission.
Occasionally, I will also write on commission if the job fits with my schedule. Go here for more information.
Regular Publications
There are a few websites I end up regularly writing for. Travelmag | The Independent Spirit focuses on the fleeting and the banal parts of travel, which I think gives you a more immediate sense of a place. These short pieces are too random for Teja on the Horizon (and sometimes, too controversial), so I’m perfectly happy to home them there.
I also sometimes offer more marine-oriented articles to The Salt Sirens, since I think Chantae’s website is cool. Not as many as I expected to, since my Pacific trips somehow turned out to be a lot more personal and reflective than I anticipated. But I reckon eventually I’ll have more marine topics to write about than would suit my blog.
Occasionally, I contribute to World Heritage Sites because I think Rachel’s website is a fantastic idea, compiling guides for what to expect if you want to visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and how to actually go. So whenever I visit a World Heritage Site that no one has submitted a guide for yet, I write one for her site.
And finally, I try to remember to add places to Atlas Obscura (though the website’s idea of what places are interesting don’t always agree with mine).
Go to my author’s page for my articles published at these sites.
I also run the blog and am the main copywriter for the online shopping website, Ethical Cashmere. This is a partnership that I helped to set up, and the blog is where we share a little something about life in Kashmir and the Himalayas.
