Writing a travel story is not only a great way to keep a journey fresh in your own mind but to share your experiences with readers and maybe even make them want to visit the same places. In addition, newspapers, travel magazines and tourist guidebooks are always looking for fillers and features and can provide some ongoing paychecks and assignments for freelance writers who have a demonstrated knowledge of a publication's demographic and the ability to turn in professional, reader-friendly copy.

For this reason, always have a backup plan and know where the local storm shelters are located, particularly during hurricane season. In the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, that season lasts from the first of June until the end of November. The actual dates of the season can vary, depending on where you are located.

Persons who want to work as travel agents must know what an IATA number is, how to obtain an IATA number with which to work with travel suppliers, what a psuedo-IATA number and TRUE I.D. number are, and when to utilize the IATA number.
