I'm looking to commission a US-based travel writer for an article for Trafalgar's The Real Word blog
The theme is "How learning a few local words transformed my travels".
I'm looking for a 850 - 900 word first-person anecdote that speaks to the power of language, communication and human connection for transforming a vacation into an immersive travel experience.
This is a paid opportunity, with a copy deadline of April 23rd. Please reply to this message [click apply] with a brief pitch by Friday 10th April.
Thank you — and please feel free to re-post.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their pitches/ideas/interest on this post — am blown away by the number of responses (and am still in the process of reading/responding).
Seems like this is a topic that resonated with a lot of you — so much so that I'm considering turning it into a feature series.
So, if your pitch doesn't get picked up on this pass, there's a good chance I will come back to you for a future edition!
