A Travel Writer Can Get Paid to Review Cafes Around the World
Being a travel writer means you can write on just about anything. You could write the typical destination blog or article or you can stretch your writing. You could become a food critic and focus on cafes. After all, cafes serve more than just coffee. They offer desserts, sandwiches and other tasty treats.
If you’re a coffee lover and a travel writer, why not marry your two loves together? You do not have to be a “typical” travel writer. When you travel, you can stop at cafes and review them. This is a great niche market.
To begin your career as a cafe reviewer, start in your own backyard. You could review Starbucks and compare the chain to independent cafes. Another angle could be writing about cafes that offer live music.
Do you have a need for coffee?
People love their coffee. Wouldn’t it be great if you could provide them with great information about cafes around the world? The one thing that is the same about cafes is the product which is coffee. However, each cafe is unique. Be a travel writer who describes the ambiance of a cafe. Is there music? Is it live music? Do they have poetry night? What is the decor like? Take the reader inside a cafe and make her feel as if she is seeing what you’re seeing.
As a travel writer you could compile your articles into a book and become a published writer. You could title your book “Wake Up, Smell the Coffee – cafes Around the World!” Did you ever see the Seinfeld episode with Kramer and his coffee table book? This could be you, except less Kramer like!
Make sure you take many photographs of the cafes you visit. In fact, you could probably publish a photographic book of the different cafes you visited. You may find yourself in another career, photographer extraordinaire!
Get out of your rut
Wouldn’t it be fun to be a travel writer who pushes beyond the ordinary scope of a travel writer? The truth is you do not write the same old, same old destination travel articles. Writing about cafes is step in the right direction. How many travel writers cover this niche? The answer is probably not many. Will you take advantage of this opportunity?
Inspiration
Sitting in a brilliant cafe can give you inspiration. Here’s a tip: The Elephant House in Edinburgh, Scotland is fabulous. I visited The Elephant House in August 2007 and it was packed – great coffee and scones. By the way, J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter in this cafe. She may not be a travel writer, but she’s doing just fine!
