Travel Writing Intern – New Opportunity as of August 2025
Intrepid Times is seeking a motivated intern to learn about the inner workings of an established travel publication and help us accelerate our growth.
Working at the intersection of editorial and events, you will:
- Research opportunities to share, promote, and distribute our best travel stories
- Help with the promotion of our events, such as our travel writing competitions and workshops
- Play a role in the editorial development of travel stories and, as you learn, have a voice in what we publish
- Use your own initiative, creativity, and drive to help us reach more readers and better support travel writers around the world
The role is ideal for someone looking to break into travel writing or develop a career in media in either editorial or marketing/publicity roles. As an intern, you will:
- Receive free access to all Intrepid Times writing programs including our Your First Published Article mentorship programs and all workshops that occur during your tenure
- Be mentored by the Intrepid Times editors to brainstorm stories and begin writing your own travel pieces, which we will support you to get published on Intrepid Times and/or other publications of your choosing
- Learn about the inner workings of a travel publication with exposure to virtually all aspects of our operations
- Additionally, you will be paid our standard writers’ fees for all articles you author that are published on Intrepid Times during and after your internship. After a three-month probation period, a monetary stipend will also be offered to successful candidates who wish to continue with us, rates depending on skill, experience, and time available.
This internship is offered on a flexible, remote, freelance, and part-time basis. As a ballpark, we estimate a 10-hour per week commitment will be sufficient for the full experience of the role.
