Calling family travel bloggers!

We now have a monthly round-up of the best family travel posts from our Lonely Planet Pathfinders. You can check out last month’s round-up here and we’re now keen to hear from you for March.

So, if you have written something you are really proud of this month please share the URL below with a short synopsis and you could be featured in our monthly blog round-up!

To be considered, you must submit a post which is clearly related to family travel. Please also provide a synopsis of your work (100 words max) including the post title, destination(s) covered, theme (activity-focused, packing tips etc) and style (trip report, photo essay, opinion piece, list, etc). Please disclose any sponsorship of posts or travel in your synopsis. We want to see posts which have appeared on your own blog rather than those you have written for other websites.

Here’s an example.

Title: After dark: nocturnal adventures with kids
Destinations covered: non-destination specific
Theme: night-time adventures with your children from around the world
Style: light-hearted list of recommendations and ideas
Synopsis: five ideas of fun things to do with your little explorers when they would normally be in bed, from a range of destinations
URL: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/travel-tips-and-articles/after-dark-nocturnal-adventures-with-kids

If you do not provide a synopsis, your submission will be considered spam and it will not be read by our editorial team.

Don't forget, we are looking for:

Family travel-related posts only
Top quality, engaging writing with no typos or formatting errors
Valuable travel advice from a unique perspective
Excellent imagery
Posts published in March 2017 only
Deadline for submissions: midnight 31st March 2017

If successful, we will let you know in this thread, and PM you with more details. Successful applicants will feature in a blog post on lonelyplanet.com. We will link to your blog in the post.

Best of luck!
