One of the Lucky Few
I am a travel blogger sent in all-expense paid trips to different locations at least twice a month to write about my experience online in order to promote, advertise, and improve on local tourism. Mostly, we go to locations like resorts, camping sites, beaches/lakes, and mountainsides that offer or provide recreational outdoor activities and stay there for a day or two. My colleague takes the necessary photos of the area while I make notes on my little notebook about the natural setting, quality of food and services (if provided), adequate amenities (if any), various recreational activities, and, most importantly, points of consideration for improvement.
We are supplied with all necessary equipment like tents, safety gears, and foldable stove. Although the work is risky and takes a lot of time from family, it has always been my dream and passion to travel the country and get paid well for it. I am one of the lucky few who truly found their niche in the professional world.
