Today we're going to get into the nitty gritty of what the heck makes good travel writing with National Geographic travel writer,  Daniel Stables and how we can use those tips in our content creation. 

Daniel is a travel writer and  that has written for a lot of things under the sun such as National Geographic, BBC travel, Rough Guides, etc. and is here to tell us what makes a good story. 

We also cover in the episode:

• What is the difference between travel writing and travel influencer content writing ( and can there be a merge of both done tastefully?) 
• How to craft a truly compelling travel narrative 
• Why you should create authentic content over trendy
• Why do travel influencers need to stop listing all the countries they have been to as an award and to slow down and enjoy the world
