Why MatadorU?

Matador Network is the world’s leading independent travel media company.

Since launching in 2006, we’ve developed a worldwide community of contributors, staff, and readers.

Our articles get millions of views. Our online network is the largest of its kind. Our editors win top awards. Our contributors author important books. Our brand is increasingly influential across media and publishing circles.

In 2009, we developed MatadorU as an online education center for travelers. Our faculty members include editors, writers, and photographers at dynamic points in their careers. Our students get published and win awards. Our graduates build successful blogs and get hired in travel media.

People join MatadorU for all different reasons. Some want to monetize their blogs. Others want to become better storytellers. Over time we’ve found, more than anything, that students simply appreciate and benefit from being part of a supportive community. This is why we’ve made it available for you to join us for a week for $10.
