General Guidelines

Your post must be original and written by you. Only submit unique content that has not been published anywhere else.

Your post should be relevant to our readers. Choose a topic that our readers are interested in. Our couples travel blog is dedicated to showcase culinary experiences and experiential luxury adventures to our readers. So, don’t recommend activities with kids in your post. Or hostels. Or backpacking tips.

Your recommendations should not be cookie cutter. Our tagline is “Eat like a local. Travel like a pro.” We actively seek out experiences that are unique to a destination and off-the-beaten-path attractions that only locals would know. When crafting your post, think about what insider tips you can offer to help the readers get an authentic experience, which tourist attractions are worth visiting, and which can be skipped?

Use good grammar and correct spelling. Use a spell checker to correct writing errors before submitting your work. We will not publish a post that requires extensive editing.

We reserve the right to edit your post. We may play with the wording of some of your text, title and subheadings to ensure it ranks well in Google. We may add our own affiliate and internal links to the content.

Cross-promotion. We’ll promote your post on our social media channels. We expect you to do the same. The more online visibility we can get for the post, the more you’ll get noticed!

After the post goes live, you must not re-publish the same content anywhere else, including on your own site.

These guidelines may seem daunting, but we just want to be up-front so that we are all on the same page.

Our Submission Process

Have a great idea you’d like to contribute? Below we have laid out our submission process so you know what to expect.

Step 1: Use this Google Form to submit your pitch.

Step 2: Sit back and relax. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can and let you know if it is a good fit.

Step 3: Once your pitch has been accepted, we’ll discuss with you to settle on a keyword, an outline, and a deadline.

Step 4: Submit the first draft. We expect the draft to include the following:

A keyword. We will provide you with a competitive keyword to create your post around. This is to make sure the content is written with SEO in mind.

At least 1500 words. Go into as much details as you can. Use the five senses to “sell” the amazing activities or cool places to the readers. Get them excited. Be informative and specific so that it is easy for our readers to plan the trip themselves.

Relevant links to other sites (no affiliates). If you list a business or attraction, include a link to their website (or their social media page).

Quality photos. Match your content with images to further illustrate to our readers visually why they must do that or go there. The images can be either taken by yourself or copyright-free stock photos. If you don’t know where to source those, let us know and we’ll show you how.

Try to aim to have one photo per recommendation if possible. And, please title your photos. Describe the subject so we know what it is and where to place it.

A headshot of yourself along with a short bio. Tell our readers who you are in 2-3 sentences (written in third person). This will be included in the author box at the end of your guest post. You can also provide your social media links here.

Up to 2 links back to your blog. Feel free to link to 2 relevant pieces of content on your blog. Sprinkle them in wherever you like in the content

A catchy SEO-optimized excerpt. Summarize the post in 70-100 words. It must include the keyword while still sounding engaging to make people click through.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the draft you send is not up to the quality or tone of our site, we will decline your article.

Step 5: We will collaborate with you on a round of edits. You’ll know exactly what to change and why.

Bear in mind that we may edit the final draft to better fit our site if needed. We will inform you of this before publishing.

Step 6: Once your final draft is finalized, we will schedule it for publish. We will let you know the publishing date.

Step 7: We will start promoting your post on our social media channels. Please do the same on your end to get a larger reach!

Hooray! That’s it. We look forward to reading your pitch!
