Milwaukee, Wisconsin's storytelling landscape craves authentic voices, and we're on the hunt for a travel scribe to bring our region's charm to life. Forget the stuffy corporate gigs – we’re an independent travel collective, fueled by caffeine and a genuine passion for uncovering hidden gems. If you're the kind of writer who can make a pierogi sound poetic and turn a brewery tour into an epic adventure, then you’ve found your tribe.

  • Demonstrable professional background as a travel writer, content creator, or journalist.
  • An impressive portfolio of published articles, blog posts, or travel guides.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading capabilities.
  • Familiarity with SEO best practices and content optimization strategies.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple assignments.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal aptitude.
