The Role

BuzzFeed is looking for a project-based travel writer for a part-time position, either remote or in our New York office. BuzzFeed's travel brand Bring Me is an expanding editorial endeavor that includes both service-oriented, inspiring, and entertaining content for a travel-loving audience. You are an experienced and conversational writer with talent in travel- and lifestyle-related content creation, and a knack for driving conversion. You'll help our audience discover unique experiences and great accommodation around the world through entertaining and informative formats, from themed roundups to hotel reviews to niche travel guides. If you're the type of person who's constantly planning a trip, sending travel tips to your friends and family, and using every holiday and PTO day as an opportunity to visit somewhere new, we'd love to hear from you! 

You Will

  • Research accommodation in various locations, categories, and price points that are of interest to the BuzzFeed audience.
  • Write shareable, unique hotel roundups as well as SEO-friendly travel guides and reviews.
  • Develop new travel post formats designed to drive hotel bookings. 
  • Track and analyze your posts' site traffic and affiliate analytics.

You Have

  • Previous experience writing for a magazine or website about travel (or exemplary blogging/writing experience)
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Flawless spelling, grammar, and usage in your writing
  • A positive, curious, playful disposition with a sense of humor
  • Genuine love for the internet and travel 
  • Understanding of the BuzzFeed audience and voice
  • Previous editing and affiliate experience a big plus

FYI — just because you don’t meet every requirement doesn’t mean we don’t want to hear from you. If you think you’d be a good fit for the job anyway, use your application to show us why!

To Apply

  • In lieu of a traditional cover letter, please include a response to the following with your application:
  • Discuss your travel habits (e.g.: what influences your decision to visit a destination, how do you find unique things to do, how do you find a good deal, what ~special tricks~ do you use that most people don’t know about, etc.).
  • Tell us about a couple of places you’ve visited that you’re obsessed.
  • Include links to any relevant previous work, social media profiles, or portfolios.
