How to Become a Freelance Travel Writer While Living in Latin America with Carley Rojas Ávila

You know those glossy Travel + Leisure stories about the best hotels in the Caribbean? Imagine getting paid to write them. This episode of Packing Up & Peacing Out is your chance to picture that life with the real story from someone actually living it. Carley Rojas Ávila joins us to talk about building a freelance travel writing career while based in Latin America, and what it actually takes to get paid to write about travel for a living.

In this episode we cover:

• How to actually break into writing for travel publications: the real path, not the fantasy version

• Why freelance travel writing isn't the movie montage it looks like, and the parts nobody talks about

• The real finances of freelance journalism: what it pays, how inconsistent it is, and how to make it work

• Why Latin America kept calling Carley back, and what living there means for her work and life
