National Geographic Traveler

National Geographic Traveler’s goals are to find the new, to showcase fresh travel opportunities, to be an advocate for travelers. Each issue of the magazine contains five or more features, roughly balanced between U.S. and foreign subjects. Most Traveler features range from 1,500 to 2,500 words, depending on the subject. Traveler departments generally run from 750 to 1,500 words. Compensation varies depending on the type of feature or department but is competitive with other national magazines. Payment is made upon acceptance.
