Note: This post is getting on a bit now and many of the websites listed below no longer conduct interviews. While we have weeded out the dud links we will update this post fully as soon as we can.
Roll up, roll up. Get on the interview merry-go-round. The interview plays a big part in every publication and online travel magazines and blogs are no exception. Interviewers get content and interviewees a way to promote themselves and their own blogs.
While blogless travellers are always welcome the most active participants in interviews are usually bloggers and travel writers themselves. In a whirligig of Q & As we don our traveller hats to answer questions before playing interview pass the parcel and laying down our own enquires to another travel writer.
Below are dozens of travel and expat blogs that want to interview you (and me):
