Looking for destination stories with specifics of where to go and what to do; leisure and recreation. No 'how-tos', no first person. Let us know your specific area of interest and experience. Don't say, 'I can write anything about anywhere.'"

PHOTOS/ART: "Hi-res; these usually are supplied by the subject, or manufacturers will take non-commercial images for us."
