Travel, by its definition, connects us to the world. It’s how we see new things, meet new people, and learn new customs. Perhaps no other activity changes us so fundamentally. Our greatest dreams are often related to a desire to travel. And when we actually find ourselves abroad sometimes that cause the most intense anxiety.

For the month of March, please submit stories, poems, and essays about travel. They can be true or fiction. But they should talk about foreign lands and different spaces. They should take us to new places where we can taste the foods, hear the music, laugh or cry with the locals. Follow the link for further details.

We are keen to encourage quality submissions, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
