While many consider a career in travel journalism to be a constant exotic vacation, the reality of the job is that it is hard work and competition, with all-expenses paid trips being a rarity.
However, journalists in this field are able to be extremely creative and get to see more of the world than the average holiday-goer.
Lottie Gross, web editor at Rough Guides highlights that those who are looking to break into the specialism should be resilient and determined - having both a passion for travel and writing simply isn't enough to be successful.
As well as an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the travel industry, Gross says that journalists should be "able to travel under their own means" to secure commissions from different publications.
