I'm very glad to see that it has helped some people! Freelance writing, as a traveler or otherwise, is indeed difficult. To be honest I had to work multiple jobs at once just to make ends meet. Fortunately I went on to pursue my true passion, anthropology, and that's what my energies go toward today!! Best of luck to all you writers! Wow, I wrote this article years ago.

I have to say I never would have thought of approaching the local community for jobs when overseas, though it seems kind of obvious now. Thanks for the tips. Great advice.

As Tim above commented, it's just so hard for beginner freelancers. I have only started my freelance writing career a year ago and so far, no bites. Even before asking for my contribution most of the publications wanted to see my list of 'previously published articles' which of course, I have none :( However, I will keep trying, and keep improving myself!

I recently quit my newspaper job to live and work in the Chilean Patagonia in hopes of getting some freelance travel pieces published. Until now, I’ve just been considering the print market. What do you see as the advantages of targeting online publications? Is the online market any easier to break into?
