Why Write for EasyExplorers
EasyExplorers reaches readers who are actively planning trips — not just killing time on the internet. That means your work lands in front of people who book flights, follow itineraries, and actually act on the advice they read. On top of the reach, contributors accepted through our guest blogging program get a byline, an author bio, and a travel guest post backlink to their own site or portfolio.
We’re a small, growing team. That’s worth noting because early contributors get meaningfully more visibility per article here than they’d ever see on a bigger, more saturated travel publication.
Topics We’re Looking For
- Destination guides (cities, national parks, off-the-radar towns)
- Road trip itineraries and driving routes
- Budget and backpacker travel tips
- Solo, family, and group travel advice
- Local food, culture, and neighborhood guides
- Packing guides and travel gear reviews
- Sustainable and slow travel
- Digital nomad and remote work travel
- Seasonal travel and festival guides
Don’t see your idea on that list? Pitch it anyway. Some of our best-performing posts started as something that didn’t fit neatly into any category.
Travel Blog Guest Post Guidelines
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Word count | 1,200-2,000 words |
| Originality | 100% original, unpublished elsewhere, plagiarism-free |
| Tone | Conversational, first-hand, human, not AI-generated |
| Images | At least 1 high-resolution image you own or have rights to |
| Links | Max 1-2 relevant outbound links; no link farms |
| Formatting | Clear H2/H3 headings, short paragraphs, scannable structure |
| Author bio | 2-3 sentences with one relevant link |
Articles written purely to hit a keyword rather than actually help a reader will get sent back for revision or declined outright. That said, if your writing is genuinely useful and well put-together, we’re flexible on word count.
How to Pitch a Travel Article
- Send a pitch, not a full draft. One paragraph outlining your topic and angle.
- Include your angle. “3 Days in Porto on a Backpacker Budget” beats “A Guide to Porto” every time.
- Attach writing samples. Two or three links to previously published work, or a short writing sample if you’re just getting started.
- Tell us why you’re the right person to write it. First-hand experience always stands out.
We reply to every serious pitch within 5-7 business days.
How to Submit Your Travel Guest Post
- Pitch your idea first (see above).
- Wait for approval before writing the full draft.
- Write your article following the guest post guidelines.
- Submit as a Google Doc, with images attached separately, not embedded.
- Include your author bio and one relevant, non-promotional link.

What You Get as a Contributor
- A published byline on EasyExplorers.com
- An author bio with a backlink to your website or portfolio
- Social media promotion of your published piece
- A clip to strengthen your freelance travel writer portfolio
- Direct exposure to readers actively planning travel
Editorial Process & Timeline
Once you submit, drafts get reviewed for originality, accuracy, and readability. Most pieces go through one round of edits before going live. Accepted articles typically publish within 2-3 weeks. Here’s one thing worth flagging: if your piece is time-sensitive — tied to a seasonal event or upcoming festival, say — mention that upfront in your pitch so we can bump it in the queue.
Content We Don’t Accept
- AI-generated or unedited AI-drafted submissions
- Previously published content, including on your own blog
- Thinly disguised advertising or sponsored content
- Political content unrelated to travel
- Generic listicles with no first-hand insight or original research
