Emily Krivograd, Associate Editor of Life and Entertainment at Insider, is looking for pitches:
Happy November, freelancers! Open to relocation/travel pitches (especially "from an expert"). Have you moved to a place you thought you'd love and had to move back? Have you been to all 50 states and know the best under-the-radar spots? My DMs are open (no hard deadline)!
Rates start at $200 for 600 words.
I moved around Europe for 6 months. If I had to pick a place to live permanently, it'd be this lively, walkable city: https://www.businessinsider.com/prague-favorite-european-city-from-frequent-traveler
I take more than 100 flights a year. Here are 3 airlines I love and one I wouldn't want to fly again: https://www.businessinsider.com/best-and-worst-airlines-frequent-traveler-100-flights-a-year-2024-10
I've been to 30 tropical islands. From Bora Bora to Barbados, here are the top 5 I'd visit again: https://www.businessinsider.com/best-tropical-islands-to-visit-from-frequent-traveler-2024-8
We thought Massachusetts was the perfect place to build a life. Boston let us down, but we found peace elsewhere in the state: https://www.businessinsider.com/moved-to-boston-hated-it-loved-massachusetts-suburbs-2024-10
I skip the Hamptons and head to a coastal town in Connecticut instead. It's less crowded and wonderful year-round: https://www.businessinsider.com/visited-madison-connecticut-things-to-do-great-beach-town-2024-11
