Travel Writing Jobs for Beginners!

Virtual Assistant (Long Term Assistant Wanted)

I am not looking to fill a task list for a quick project. I am looking for the right person to grow with through these next phases of my life and career, someone who learns how I think and becomes a real value add. If your goal is to be "just another client's VA," this is likely not it.

**A little about me:** I am an executive out of Raleigh, NC area. Alongside my family & full time role, I am running for board seats, a writer and building my own ventures. My number one value is trust.

**What you will help with:**
- Growing my LinkedIn network and social media engagement (starts light with task oriented expansion, can grow into owning & scaling ie thought leadership, posting, comarketing, etc.)
- Research, document prep, and admin for my board run and personal ventures
- Vendor research, sourcing, and outreach for my business initiatives
- General administrative work: calendar and scheduling, inbox management, meeting prep and follow ups
- Travel and appointment coordination
- Organizing files, notes, and information so nothing slips
- The occasional personal task (rare), for example helping book a family vacation, personal document organization and admin, and similar. Done within working hours, or additionally compensated accordingly.

**Must-haves:**
- Reliable network and computer access
- AI proficient (Claude preferred, anything fine, as long as you have a pro subscription)
- Fluent in Google Workspace and the main social platforms (LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, etc.)
- Clear, plain writing
- Creative and bold with ideas
- Trustworthy and discreet
- Honest enough to tell me when I am wrong


**The deal:**
- 20 to 40 hours a week, flexible
- Remote/Virtual
- Pay TBD based on experience and the arrangement we land on
- I am people first and I reward hard work. Earn my trust, help me win and you come along for the ride.

**To apply:** No resumes, no long docs. Just tell me who you are, show me your personality, and tell me in your own voice why you are the right person to build with. A little relevant experience or a proud win is welcome.

Is it you?

P.S. Be bold. What do you have to lose?

Cheers,
-AA

I recently had Claude Audit my website and realized there are somethings that are negatively impacting me AEO. I urgently need to get some of these things fixed as I already am getting sales from Chat GPT and imagine I could be missing out on sales. You need to have experience with Shopify back-end, SEO and AEO

Priority 1 — Remove leaked AI-citation artifacts (fix now)

Several product and blog pages contain raw citation footnotes that were clearly copy-pasted from an AI search tool's output (ChatGPT search/shopping results) without cleanup — visible domain clusters like reddit.com+1 or corsurf.com+15, plus links carrying srsltid= and utm_source=chatgpt.com. This is confusing to read, links out to competitors (Amazon) and forums (Reddit) from your own product copy, and signals low-quality/unedited content to both shoppers and answer engines.

Audited 103 product pages + 20 most recent blog posts (123 total). 5 pages confirmed affected:

Products

/products/dry-waterproof-backpack-bag-with-laptop-sleeve-25l — 25L Waterproof Dry Backpack. 7 separate instances in the FAQ accordion.
/products/cor-dry-bag-backpack-with-laptop-sleeve-20l — 40L Waterproof Dry Bag Backpack. FAQ text: "will float if dropped in water[amazon.com.be+15corsurf.com+15amazon.com+15]"
/products/the-cor-single-rack — Surfboard Wood Display Wall Storage Rack. FAQ text: "lasting years in extreme conditions[amazon.com+5curvesurf.com.au+5corsurf.com+5]" — worth noting this answer is actually about waterproof dry-bag material, so it looks like content got cross-pasted from the wrong product entirely.

Blog posts 4. /blogs/news/island-hopper-2-0-vs-cotopaxi-allpa-28l-which-travel-backpack-wins — the entire post reads as unedited ChatGPT output; multiple product links carry srsltid= and utm_source=chatgpt.com. 5. /blogs/news/cor-surf-holiday-gift-guide-2024 (displays as "🎁 COR Surf Holiday Gift Guide 2025") — all 8 "Shop [Product]" links have utm_source=chatgpt.com appended.

Fix: Manually rewrite the FAQ/body text on these 5 pages and strip the tracking parameters from links. Since only 5 of 123 pages checked were affected, this looks like it happened during specific edits rather than a sitewide bulk import — worth finding out what tool or workflow produced this content so it doesn't recur on new product launches or posts.

Priority 2 — Add review/rating schema to products

Product pages show "4.9, 49 reviews" on-page, but the Product JSON-LD has no aggregateRating or review field. That rating is exactly what answer engines surface in comparison queries ("what's a well-rated waterproof backpack") — right now it's invisible to them. Add aggregateRating (and ideally a few review entries) to the structured data your review app or theme outputs.

Priority 3 — Use real heading tags in blog posts

The blog template renders product-name subheads as bold text instead of tags on posts checked were empty. Answer engines rely on heading hierarchy to extract and attribute specific passages; without it, a long post reads as one undifferentiated block. Update the blog template or editor habit to use real heading levels for each subsection.

Priority 4 — Substantiate media-mention claims

The "About Us" blurb (surfaced at the bottom of blog posts) claims coverage in PEOPLE, Forbes, Vogue, TODAY with no links. If accurate, link to the actual articles — that turns an unverifiable claim into a real authority signal for both readers and AI systems trying to assess credibility.

Priority 5 — Proofread AI-assisted copy

Minor but recurring typos in blog content ("thee perfect," "We has something for everyone") erode the trust signals that both readers and answer engines weigh. Worth a proofreading pass on recent posts.

Flagged separately (not AEO, but worth fixing)
/products/changing-towel-poncho-kona-large-size — a customer-facing description bullet contains a leaked internal Shopify admin URL (admin.shopify.com/store/cor-surf-dev/products?selectedView=draft&status=DRAFT). This exposes backend/dev-store info to the public and should be removed immediately.
/blogs/news/do-you-really-need-a-waterproof-travel-backpack — the comment section has scam spam (crypto-recovery, herbal-remedy, and lottery-spell scams). Worth deleting and turning on comment moderation/approval if it isn't already on.

I have a 96,000-word manuscript for a travel memoir that I need assistance with editing and creating the necessary documents to submit to a publisher (bio, summary, synopsis, etc.).

We havre a boat tour company in Krabi, Thailand, looking for someone to help us find and contact Chinese travel influencers on RedNote/Xiaohongshu.

The role includes:

Finding suitable Chinese travel creators, KOCs and micro-influencers
Checking their engagement, recent views and content quality
Contacting them professionally in Mandarin
Asking about travel dates, rates and collaboration terms
Recording all details and responses in a spreadsheet

This is an on-site role. All shoots are in San Francisco proper and Marin County — no travel beyond that. Remote applicants will not be considered. We are looking for a photographer to capture high-quality images for our projects. The ideal candidate should have experience in digital photography and be able to work independently. Familiarity with photo editing software is a plus.

We are looking for a reliable and creative content writer to produce engaging travel-related articles, destination guides, travel tips, and other tourism content.

You are allowed to use AI tools such as Claude to help with research, ideas, and first drafts. However, all content must be carefully reviewed, edited, fact-checked, and rewritten before submission. The final work should sound natural, clear, original, and written for real readers.

The ideal writer should have strong English skills, good research abilities, and an interest in travel. Previous travel writing experience is preferred, but strong writing samples will also be considered.

Please apply with a few relevant samples, your rate, availability, and the number of articles you can complete each week.

About the Role
I am seeking a sharp, highly organized, and AI-fluent Executive Assistant to act as my operational force multiplier across both business activities and personal life.

Rather than doing everything manually, you should leverage modern AI platforms (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity) and automation tools to execute tasks 5x faster with hyper-accuracy. You aren't just taking notes—you are managing my cognitive load, streamlining communication, and running daily ops.

This is a hybrid role covering high-level B2B support as well as personal logistics.

Core Responsibilities
1. AI-Driven Business Operations:

Drafting & Editing: Use Claude and Gemini to draft executive emails, refine tone, summarize meeting transcripts, and write operational briefs.

Research & Analysis: Conduct fast, high-density web research using Perplexity or Gemini Advanced to summarize data, track industry trends, and vet vendors.

Inbox & Calendar Gatekeeping: Triage incoming emails, enforce calendar boundaries, and set up automatic scheduling links/rules.

Document Management: Maintain structured workspaces inside Notion/Google Workspace, keeping project notes, pipeline trackers, and reference files updated.

2. Personal Logistics & Life Admin:

Travel Coordination: Source, compare, and build detailed itineraries (flights, hotels, rental cars, dining reservations) optimizing for preferences and budget.

Personal Scheduling: Coordinate personal appointments, family calendar syncs, and recurring maintenance tasks.

Vendor & Purchase Research: Find the best options for personal purchases, service providers, or domestic logistics using AI comparative tools.

Ad-Hoc Projects: Handle quick turnarounds on arbitrary personal tasks so I can stay focused on core business priorities.

Required Qualifications
Native or Near-Native English Fluency: Exceptional written and verbal communication.

AI Tool Mastery: Active, daily experience using Claude (for long-context drafting/analysis), Gemini (for research/workspace integration), and ChatGPT/Perplexity.

Tech Stack Proficiency: Deep knowledge of Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive), Notion, Slack, and basic automation tools (Zapier or Make.com is a plus).

Proactive Mindset: You default to action, solve problems independently, and present answers rather than just asking questions.

Absolute Discretion: Proven history of handling sensitive business details and personal logistics with confidentiality.

How to Apply (Screening Instructions)
To show that you read job posts carefully and pay attention to detail:

Include the word "Catalyst" in the very first line of your proposal.

In 2–3 sentences, share one specific example of how you currently use Claude or Gemini to automate or speed up a personal or business EA task.

Include your preferred weekly availability (hours/week) and time zone alignment.

(Note: All communications, contract negotiations, and payments will be handled strictly through Upwork per platform terms.)

Project Brief
We are looking for an experienced packaging designer with a strong background in beauty, skincare, or personal care packaging for the US/EU market.
Our oil blotting paper product line has been on the market for many years and currently includes three variants: Bamboo Charcoal, Green Tea, and Rose. The current packaging has been used for over 10 years and feels outdated.
We would like to start with the Bamboo Charcoal version first. If the design direction is successful, we will extend the same packaging system to the Green Tea and Rose versions.
Product Information
Product type: Facial oil blotting papers / oil control blotting sheets
First design: Bamboo Charcoal version
Main function: Absorbs excess facial oil, reduces shine, and leaves skin looking fresh and matte
Use cases: Daily touch-ups, work, travel, dating, after workouts, on-the-go use
Target market: USA, Canada, Europe
Target consumers: People with oily or combination skin, makeup users, and skincare users. The packaging should feel acceptable for both women and men, and should not be overly feminine.
Design Goals
We want the packaging to feel modern, clean, eco-conscious, and premium, suitable for the US/EU Clean Beauty market.
Consumers should immediately understand that this is an oil blotting paper product, while also feeling that it is natural, elevated, and easy to carry every day.
Please avoid the following styles:
Cheap Amazon template style
Outdated mass-market cosmetic packaging
Overly feminine design
Too many cartoon elements
Too many icons
Excessive large claim labels
Black-and-gold luxury style
Pink girly style
Key Selling Points for Bamboo Charcoal Version
The Bamboo Charcoal version should communicate:
Bamboo charcoal
Absorbs excess oil
Reduces facial shine
Fresh matte finish
Soft and gentle on skin
Makeup-friendly
Portable and travel-friendly
Suitable for daily touch-ups
Ideal for T-zone use

Project Overview

We are looking for an experienced Web Scraping / Data Extraction Freelancer to scrape a list of Travel Advisors from a specific website (link will be provided upon hiring/discussion).
The target data needs to be extracted, cleaned, and organized into a structured format (CSV/Excel) so we can utilize it for our marketing and outreach efforts.

Scope of Work & Data Fields Required

You will be responsible for scraping all available Travel Advisor profiles on the target site and populating a clean spreadsheet containing the following fields for each entry:
Full Name
Agency Name
Location (City, State/Country)
Email Address
Phone Number
Any additional relevant profile details available (e.g., agency name, specializations, if present)

Key Deliverables

A fully scraped, deduplicated, and properly formatted dataset in Excel (.xlsx) or CSV format.
High data accuracy (ensuring email formats are correct and fields aren't misaligned).
(Optional) The python script or code tool used for the extraction in case re-scraping is needed in the future.

Requirements & Skills Needed

Ability to handle dynamic content, pagination, or basic anti-scraping protections if applicable.

To Apply

Please submit your proposal with:

2. The primary tools or programming languages you plan to use.
3. Your estimated turnaround time for scraping a directory dataset once the link is provided.

We are a boutique travel advisory and hotel curation service and help travelers book trips. We're a small, fast-moving team. Everyone who works with us is expected to be detail-oriented, responsive, and capable of owning their work without hand-holding.

**THE PROJECT**

We are building a booking engine, and we want the frontend to be no-code, separate from our existing WordPress site. This is the primary focus of this engagement.

We're looking for a no-code platform that gives us, as a small agency, frontend code independence — meaning our team can make adjustments, iterate, and maintain the site without depending on a developer for every small change. On the backend, we need something robust enough to support API integrations and content with speed and quality, and that allows us to scale as the business grows.

You will be handed a fully interactive HTML prototype — built and signed off by the team — that defines every screen, every interaction, the look, the UI/UX, and every piece of copy. Your job is to implement it faithfully on the chosen platform. The scope of design ambiguity is very low. The scope of implementation quality is very high.

After the initial build is live and performing, the next phase will involve integrating a bed bank API for direct hotel booking functionality. Experience with API integrations is necessary.

**WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU**

Core requirements:

- No-code platform expertise — you are highly proficient in the platform you work with (e.g. Webflow, Framer, Bubble, or similar). You build clean, well-structured projects that are easy to maintain.
- Pixel-perfect implementation — you follow a spec and deliver what's in front of you, not your interpretation of it. Small details matter to us.
- Custom code when needed — JavaScript or code as needed for the project flow.
- API integration experience — the booking engine must work beautifully across all devices and screen sizes, and integrate reliably with third-party APIs.
- SEO best practices — you build with clean semantic structure, proper meta tags, alt text, sitemap, and page speed optimization in mind, so the platform is set up to rank well from day one.
- Speed and reliability — you communicate proactively, hit your deadlines, and flag problems before they become surprises.

Strong plus:

- WordPress proficiency — our main site runs on WordPress. We'd value a contractor who can also manage and maintain a WordPress site competently, as a potential ongoing secondary responsibility once the no-code project is complete.
- Experience with travel, hospitality, or e-commerce sites — you understand booking flows, payment security, and know what good looks like.
- Technical SEO experience specific to travel/booking sites — schema markup for hotels and pricing, structured data, and site architecture for scale.

**WHAT THIS IS NOT**

This is not a design project. The design, copy, and UX are already defined. We are not looking for someone to redesign anything or offer creative direction unless specifically asked. We need a skilled implementer who can take a detailed spec and build it correctly.

This is also not a long-term salaried role — it begins as a project engagement. If the work is excellent and the relationship is good, there is ongoing work available managing and maintaining both the booking engine and our WordPress main site.

**HOW TO APPLY**

Please share:

- Your no-code platform portfolio and API integrations.
- A brief note on your experience with booking engines specifically.
- Your availability and rough timeline estimate for a project of this scope.
- Your hourly rate or project rate, whichever you prefer to work with.
- References from at least two past clients with public websites we can verify.

Your application will only be considered: (1) if it begins with a single sentence explaining why you are the right person for this specific project, (2) provides the two references mentioned above.

Description:

I'm looking for an experienced SEO specialist to work with SaveMyFare (savemyfare.co.uk), a UK marketplace for buying and selling unused train tickets. We're the only platform of our kind in the UK.

The situation:
The site is built on Next.js (App Router), server-side rendered, with a clean robots.txt, confirmed 301 redirect, and a sitemap covering static pages, news articles, and live listings. Despite this, key commercial pages (/sell, /marketplace, /browse, /faq, /journey-planner) are crawled but not indexed on Google. We rank #2 on Bing for "sell train tickets" but have minimal Google presence.

What I need:

Diagnose and resolve the indexing issue on our core pages
Keyword strategy — seller intent, buyer intent, and route-level long-tail terms
On-page audit — content structure, schema markup, internal linking, metadata
Programmatic SEO plan for our station/route pages at /to/[slug]
Backlink target list — UK travel, personal finance, and consumer press
Content calendar input to build topical authority
What you'll have access to:

Google Search Console
GA4
Staging environment
CMS for editorial content
Direct line to the dev team for technical changes
Ideal candidate:

Proven experience with Next.js or similar SSR frameworks
Track record in UK market SEO
Experience with marketplace or travel sites preferred
Can show examples of resolving indexing issues and ranking for commercial terms
Please include in your application:

A relevant case study or example of similar work
Your initial thoughts on what might be causing the indexing issue based on the above
Your proposed approach and timeline

We are a small European travel startup building a design-led booking platform. Our brand identity is finished — logo, colours, typography, icons — so we are not looking for a creative direction partner, but for someone who can execute a defined identity in Webflow at a very high standard. The first deliverable is our main hotel template: a CMS-driven, content-heavy detail page with photography, editorial text, nested collection content, an interactive map and practical information. Our benchmark is the level of sites like Design Hotels or Mr & Mrs Smith. Further pages follow once the template is signed off, and we are open to an ongoing collaboration.

You should be excellent at Webflow — clean systematic class structure (Client-First or equivalent), solid CMS architecture, nested collection lists, conditional visibility, restrained interactions, proper mobile — and have genuine design ability, since you will make hundreds of typographic and spacing decisions we cannot specify in advance. Please send 2–3 Webflow projects you personally built, with live URLs, along with your rate and availability.

We're a funded NYC fintech startup (pre-seed led by a top-tier Silicon Valley fund) building a rewards-redemption platform that connects banks and card programs to live event and travel experiences. We're integrating with major financial institutions and payment networks now.

The work:

Own delivery of our MVP against a written PRD: inventory ingestion from supply partners, redemption processing, and fulfillment — production-ready
Design and build bank-facing API integrations (rewards platforms, gift-card processors, card networks)
Make pragmatic architecture calls for a pre-seed company: ship what proves traction now, defer bank-scale infra until it's needed
Work directly with the founder/CEO; communicate timelines in writing and hit them

You:

8+ years, with senior/staff/lead experience at a fintech, payments, or marketplace company (Brex/Stripe/Ramp/Plaid-caliber a plus)
Have personally shipped production systems handling payments or financial data (tell us which, and your role)
Strong across backend + cloud (AWS/GCP), API design, and third-party integration work; comfortable using AI tooling to move fast
Startup metabolism: you scope, commit to dates, and deliver without a team around you

Engagement: Start ~20 hrs/week contract, structured around 2–3 paid milestones with defined acceptance criteria. Strong performers have a path to a founding-team role with equity. NYC or US-overlap remote (ET timezone required).

To apply: In 3–5 sentences, describe the most complex system you shipped end-to-end, your specific role, and how long it took from kickoff to production. Applications without this won't be reviewed.

I run a boutique executive search firm focused on quant trading talent. Four years in, doing well, targeting £2m revenue by 2030. I’m the founder and still the main person holding the business together.

I don’t need someone to tell me my plan is good. I need someone who’s actually built or advised businesses like mine through this stage and will push back hard when something doesn’t add up.

What I actually want help with:

Stress-testing my business plan. Not the pitch version, the real one, including where the numbers might be wrong.

Thinking properly about ROI and where money and time should go next. Delivery hire vs product build vs marketing vs more travel. I have opinions but I want them tested.

Feasibility on new revenue ideas. I’m exploring recurring revenue on top of search fees (training, content, maybe a product) and I want someone who can tell me quickly if an idea is worth building or a distraction, before I sink weeks into it.

A real answer on Portugal. I run this from Lisbon. It’s worked so far. I want someone who’ll tell me honestly what breaks as the business grows and what the actual workarounds look like, rather than assuming it needs to change.

Hiring advice. Who to bring on next, when, and what to avoid. Ideally from someone who’s watched this go wrong and right at other firms.

Accountability. If I say I’ll do something by our next session, I want to be asked whether I did it.

What I’m not looking for:

A cheerleader. Someone who tells me the vision is great and leaves it there isn’t useful to me. I want someone who’s built or advised expertise-led businesses through a genuine scaling phase, ideally with some recurring revenue model in the mix, and who’s comfortable getting into numbers, not just narrative.

If you’ve got a track record helping founders like me make sharper calls (not just feel better about the calls we already made), I’d like to talk.
