This workshop designed for both frequent travelers as well as those of us who don’t always get to hop on a plane, but absolutely love to explore. Writing creates a space for us to process our experiences in a way that we hadn’t before, and uncover new insights.
We’ll participate in interactive writing activities and learn how to process our own experiences on paper. During the online Travel Writing Workshop we will:
- Understand our urge to write
- Uncover insights from our past travel experiences
- Capture the sights, tastes, smells, and sounds that stimulate us
- Feel the impact our words have on other travelers
Once you complete the workshop, you will have the opportunity to:
- Publish your travel experiences on Pink Pangea
- Receive feedback on your writing from Pink Pangea’s editor
- Gain exposure for your writing
- Access a Pink Pangea Writers’ Facebook group, where we share press trip giveaways, writing opportunities, books to review, and more
- All participants will receive a recording of the workshop
After completing workshops, participants have written for major publications, launched their own blogs, or continued to write in their journals. Others have simply enjoyed trying something new.

Reviews
“I came out of it a different person than I went in…[Jaclyn] made us linger in our discomfort long enough to compel us to make a change. In fact, she had to relinquish control in order for it to be a catalyst. That’s a mark of a great teacher.” – Stephen Elliot, Travel Writing Workshop participant
“I gained confidence to tackle upcoming projects, even the most daring ones.” – Pola Henderson
“Pink Pangea’s online workshop helped mediate an important realization. When I sit down to write a travel-oriented piece, I feel stuck. I feel trapped in my home country, when most of my best travel memories are from abroad. However, the workshop helped me tap into a creative atmosphere. It can be all about your mindset, not your physical location.” – Danielle Corcione, Online Travel Writing Workshop participant
“The workshop provided a safe and inspiring space to think about my own writing, and hear from other travelers and writers. I came away with some concrete tools, and an idea or two for future pieces!” – Rachel Romesburg Rice, Online Travel Writing Workshop participant
