444 Ruksana Hussain ~ Adventures in Freelance Travel Writing

I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Ruksana Hussain. She’s a freelance journalist and travel writer with 20 years of experience. In this episode, we talk about how living in different countries and states has shaped who she is and what she does. We also talk about her favorite places to travel and why. <p>And the main focus of this episode is about freelance travel writing and how to get started in this field. It’s something I know very little about, because I’ve only ever self-published things, like my blog and my books. This is a whole new world! I hope this episode inspires you to give freelance travel writing a try, so you can inspire others with your own travel and adventures.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>About Ruksana</strong></p> <p>Ruksana Hussain is an award-winning journalist, writer, editor working with print and online media.
