We’re looking for genuine, original content that highlights the benefits of travel and inspires people to go further. Smaller Earth content is recognizable because it:
- Is positive, honest, and insightful.
- Tells an interesting story about a travel experience, activity, landmark, resource, etc.
- Contains helpful information about what to expect from transit, accommodation, restaurants/food, etc in a destination.
- Contains good visual content wherever possible.
- 800 - 1200 word articles, however, we are more focused on the quality of content and storytelling, rather than an exact word count.
- It should also follow the guidelines listed in the Smaller Earth Content Guide.
