Real Travel magazine is offering all world travellers the chance to become a travel writer. Real Travel is a new magazine aimed at independent world travellers, combining honest reports for destinations around the world with unbiased kit reviews and expert advice.
Issue one this includes destinations as varied as Southern Africa, Iceland, Thailand, New Zealand, Thailand, Budapest and Dubai, as well as advice on planning the perfect career break and a group test of backpacks.
Readers are invited to contact the editor, Ian Waller, with their ideas for travel features, as well as travel tips and favourite travel photograph.
Ian explained: “Real Travel is based around honest reports from travellers around the world. As such we are keen to hear from writers who want to tell us about their travel experiences.
All they have to do is send in a 200-word summary of their piece, along with a couple of sample photos, and if we think that it suits the magazine, we’ll be happy to feature the report in a future issue.”
As a special competition for Globetrotter members, Ian is offering you the chance to claim one of 500 free issues of Real Travel. All you have to do is log on to http://www.i-dj.co.uk, fill in the form and send it off. The first 500 received by the magazine will receive a free issue.
Real Travel is currently on sale in WHSmiths, Tescos and Borders.

Many thanks, and good luck with the magazine.

We are not “Real Travel Magazine”, if you have questions for them you’d be better off asking at
We look forward to the travel articles in your publication and will pick up a copy at the Times “Destinations” travel show in London, Feb 1-4 where we hope to meet you personally.
Thank you
Not a bad idea, I always thought travel magazines written by professional writers who are paid to go to the travel destinations solely for the purpose of researching the article weren’t in touch with the average real traveller.
I want a copy too. Can u please mail me the options available?
This is an old story please visit
