Katie Hammel, Content Marketing Director at Going, is looking for pitches:
Call for pitches! We're selecting our next round of pitches for Going's Worth the Flight weekly newsletter that highlights one amazing experience worth traveling for. Pay starts at $250 for around 600-700 words including logistical info.
Pitch here: https://hello-going.typeform.com/to/wRko8ni6
It's an ongoing series so we commission every other month or so, and need to cover the world, so if you don't hear back right away we still might commission it in the future. For this round pieces will be due November/December and publish April-May+.
We're looking for single experiences ("do this ONE thing" NOT "visit this place") that anyone can recreate. The best pitches explain in objective terms why this is the experience that trumps them all (e.g. there's tons of places to see turtles, why your experience the best?).
