Love writing? Love travelling? Turn your passion into a career
What are you passionate about? Is it exploring ancient cultures? Seeing animals in the wild? Dining at the world’s best restaurants?
I’ve helped hundreds of people write about their passions in my travel writing workshops. If you’d prefer to learn at your own pace from home, you can also take the travel writing course by correspondence. Not only does it contain extra material, but you’ll have the flexibility of studying when it suits you with no deadlines or time limits.
Recently updated, the course contains even more insights, examples and insider tips based on feedback from hundreds of students.
This is the course I wish had existed when I started.
“Such a valuable course. I know I will go over the material again and again.”

SUCCESS STORY – SHAUN BUSUTTIL
“I signed up to Rob’s course because I was a fan of his writing and wanted to learn from someone that was regularly getting published in major publications. Getting well-considered and instructive feedback was (and excuse the cliché here) absolutely priceless – I became a better writer because of it. I love writing at the intersection of adventure and culture and have been published in National Geographic Traveller, Lonely Planet, Get Lost and Outdoor.” shaunbusuttil.com

Do I need writing experience?

SUCCESS STORY – JULIE JONES
“After starting my blog about accessible tourism (my son Braeden has cerebral palsy), I realised I needed to improve my writing. Rob’s course was everything he promised and more. To this day his words still echo in my head. I also credit him with building my skills and confidence to approach magazines and tourism organisations. I’ve since been published in many outlets and co-founded Travel Without Limits magazine. As a busy mother to two kids, I needed an easy way to up-skill and this course provided it.” havewheelchairwilltravel.net
