Get 3 Fun Ways to Get Paid to Travel

Bonnie is the Creative Director for Great Escape Publishing, a regular contributor to The Right Way to Travel, and creator of the Breakfast Stock Club, which helps folks to get up-and-running selling their photos in online stock photo agencies. She got her first travel articles and photos published after attending the Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop six summers ago in her hometown of Portland, Oregon. Before joining Great Escape Publishing, she taught English in the South of France and vagabonded through South America and South East Asia, dutifully testing all of the local foods and massage techniques. Favorite travel tip: Don't book a hotel room when you can rent an apartment! It tends to be cheaper, offers more room, and lets you live like a local, with a kitchen and living area. Recently, some friends and I found a cute apartment right in the middle of Paris with a balcony for half the price we would have paid for a hotel room in the city. I like to use Airbnb.com or Vrbo.com to book.

What I Like Most about Stock Photography for Beginners

Online stock photo agencies are a great way of breaking into photography because you don’t need a lot of images to get started. You can shoot and upload as often or as little as you want. You never have to meet a photo buyer face-to-face or negotiate fees. And it’s a lot of fun to practice at home and improve your photography — all the while earning royalties from previous sales.
