TRAVEL BLOGGER STAYS, PAID CAMPAIGNS AND SPONSORSHPS

As an ordinary travel blogger who has no large following nor millions of readership and big connections, I struggle to learn about familiarization or press trips which are top goals of everyone in blogosphere. To be part of tourism offices and notable brands are everyone's dream. Sadly, some keep to themselves and their close circle of blogging friends when there's an opportunity. That's why I want to change the game in my own way: let the most deserving one get that spot rather than only few knows about it so the chances of getting chosen is not fair at all. 

Here's a few I know.  I will be glad if you can recommend any. I UPDATE THIS LIST EVERY 2 WEEKS SO PLEASE KEEP ON CHECKING!


April
