Lonely Planet, the oft-seen, dog-eared travel guide known world over, is having a travel writing contest:

Do you love travel? Do you have a way with words? Then it sounds like you're ready to taste one of the most sought after jobs in the world. We are searching for three budding travel writers to hit the road with a Lonely Planet author, sample the day to day of being a travel writer, and then write some kick-arse content for us when you return.

I've won this contest 12 years in a row, but if you decide to de-throne me, you are more than welcome to challenge my prodigous travel knowledge, my arsenal of languages, and my Capote-esque wit. Just kidding - I mean about the 12 years in a row. But seems like a great opportunity to flex your travel writing muscles. Dreams of walking the Appian Way, swimming in turquoise pools off Cyprus, eating fried scorpions in Vientiane are just an entry form away. Speaking of, if you would like to try your hand at travel writing, we are looking for writers and editors here at the MobiBlog. Please contact us if you are interested in building the most comprehensive travel blog ever created. Hyperbole.
