Chances are if you’re reading this story, you have travelled somewhere recently or are planning a trip soon. At Outlook Traveller, we want to know how it went and how you felt in our newest section, #OTWanderInk.
#OTWanderInk is an open platform for anyone looking to share a memorable travel experience on the Outlook Traveller website. You don’t need to be a professional writer—we’re looking for fresh, personal voices and first-hand stories from travellers.

Just a note upfront—#OTWanderInk is a community-driven space for storytelling, and at this time, we’re not offering payment for submissions. We hope that the joy of seeing your travel story published and connecting with a wide audience of fellow travellers will make it a fulfilling experience.
Here are a few things you should keep in mind before sending us your story:
The word count should be between 700 and 900 words.
Attach four-five horizontal photos from your trip, including at least one picture of yourself. Make sure to include brief captions for each image.
