What Successful Travel Professionals Are Saying About MatadorU:

“I began writing for Matador when I still had a 9-5 job in finance that I hated. The skills I developed at Matador allowed me to build and launch my own website, NomadicMatt.com and now I literally live off the income generated from my site and am able to travel the world while making some great money. “

–Matt Kepnes, NomadicMatt.com

“As Editor-in-Chief of Transitions Abroad, I see many queries and submissions come through my inbox. MatadorU has created a unique interactive program for those who wish to become travel writers that is very thorough. By learning the many and varied aspects involved in becoming a travel writer for both the online and print worlds, those new to travel writing will have a leg up”

–Greg Hubbs, TransitionsAbroad.com

“I got one of my first big breaks from Matador’s Bounty Board, and in the time since then I’ve learned a lot by working with Matador’s talented collection of writers and editors. I’m thrilled to see that talent being pooled into MatadorU — I’m sure the lessons, market leads and other resources included in the course will be invaluable for students looking to break into travel writing.”

–Eva Holland, World Hum

“I really never had any doubts about this course. I have been a part of this community for almost 3 years and I’ve watched Matador grow up from a small community of writers to one of the largest travel publications on the planet. Matador definitely knows what they’re doing and in this course they literally give you a playbook to make it happen yourself.”

–Abha Malpani, Editor Written Road

“When you land your first assignment, your editor is not going to explain to you what to do. You need to know or you’re going to look like a complete ass. This course prepares you for that first assignment and writing the pitch letter that will get you there. “

–Nicholas Gill
