A freelance opportunity for travel writers

I just discovered a website which favors travel writers. It's called suite101.com. You have to apply and commit for 10 articles over a period of three months and to submit a resume and 2 sample pieces. They cover other subjects too, but the emphasis seems to be on travel.

Thank you all so very much for your much valued advice. I looked at the diet list the doctor gave me more closely and..you are so right, it includes plenty of bananas and potassium.

A brindis to a brilliant Turkish doctor.

A fantasy

One of my favorite famtasies is, that for just one day, the earthscape would be reversed, the oceans would empty out and one could see what is underneath all that water.

Two stunning images

This is NOT Alaska. This is Turkey, a place called Pamukkale near where I live. What you see are stalagtites formed by salt and mınerals from the hot, thermal springs which make up this marvellous landscape. And thıs ıs another natural beauty, although slıghtly younger and much more alive than the... Sign in to see full entry.
