Could you tell me what should i do in order to become a successful travel writer.
is there any courses that are available in order to become a travel writer.

Answer 1

Courses in Creative Writing and/or Journalism would be good options. You will of course have to visit places and see for yourself to experience life. Writing will become natural as you experience the everyday life of people in other countries or places. Knowing more about the world, culture, religions, etc will also help. Also reading weblogs/blogs of travellers would also give you some idea.
