Travel + Leisure Is Hiring a Full-time Writer — and More Job Openings Not to Miss

In partnership with

Hello, travel writers,

For many people who decide to become travel writers, freelancing brings the right amount of flexibility and time to actually travel. Others prefer the stability of a full-time job, even if that means balancing travel time with in-office time and reporting back to a singular boss and organization.

Full-time writing jobs at travel pubs are rare to find these days, which is why Travel + Leisure’s new staff writer position is our featured job of the week. (Please note: The staff writer’s focus will be writing news content for digital, and you must be based in New York.)

For more featured jobs, follow us on Instagram. And for more job opportunities (both full-time and freelance) daily, join our job board for just $4 per month.
