Candid and straight from the heart.

I tried to come into writing and soon realized my potential and switched my profile. But still like reading blogs and this is one of the best piece I have learned in last 6-7 days.

I will share this with some of the aspiring writers in my connection, this would really motivate them.

That’s a wonderful interview. I really enjoyed reading this. A guy like this has a very different perspective and experience of travel. I’m thinking this is the kind of guy that would be wonderful to sit and chat to over some beers. He must have a million amazing stories. One interview is just a fraction of them, I am sure.

I’m a member of the travel writing course and highly recommend it – it’s thorough and the feedback from David is invaluable.
I keep rereading the course, and each time more of the theory sticks.
As I write a travel blog, I can also continually practice and refine my writing.
I do find the personal feedback makes this course a cut above many others and would definitely recommend to anyone who is considering buying it – it’s well worth it.

Hi Matt, this is the first time I am making a comment on your blog even though I have been a big fan of yours for ages. I have never been a writer but after creating my own blog called Greek Gods Paradise which mixes Greek mythology and travel together I have come to really respect and appreciate great travel writers. I honestly never thought writing would be this hard. I’m still learning the craft and will hopefully improve as time goes on, hopefully anyway. One of the most worked posts on my site is called Climbing Mount Olympus (Experience, Tips & Advice) which details my adventure to Mount Olympus. It can be seen in the side bar on all my web pages at the very top under recommended posts. I have received very helpful advice from another travel blogger who has created a website called Letters to Barbara on how to improve it. Now that I’m sort of happy with it I was hoping that you could read this blog post and give me your thoughts under this comment. Like I said I have reworked it and reworked it over and over again. I could spend my whole life reworking it but have to stop at some point. It would be awesome to get some feedback from someone as good as you, and maybe a reader or two. Do I have any skill as a writer or should I just give up? All the best, John
