Travel writer, editor and journalist Akash Arora is living the dream - and this week Lynne and Rachel chat to him about what it takes to be a travel writer, what it really means to be on the road almost all the time, and how to get a pitch over the line with him. Akash was actually in the Maldives in an over-the-water villa during our recording, which just added to the allure!

We talked about:

His early journalism career in India, interviewing Hollywood celebrities
Moving to Australia and working in magazines, including Qantas magazine, where he first started travel writing
Why he took a digital role during the pandemic and what he learned
Why travel writing is hard to do well
The mistakes writers make when pitching travel stories to him
What a famil (or familiarisation) trip really involves
