Country and City Guides

We are currently looking for writers for our Official Go Overseas Guides to Volunteering, Teaching, Studying, taking a Gap Year or Interning Abroad in every country and city.

The guides will service as an authoritative source for anyone thinking of volunteering/interning/studying/teaching/taking a gap year in this country. After reading this, the audience should have a good idea about the types of opportunities available and the life of a volunteer/teacher/student/intern in this destination. They should also know exactly where to get started with their research!

If you are interested in writing a guide article for us, let us know your country of expertise and type of travel and we will send you the guidelines! Use the contact form at the bottom of this page and select the Guest Writer category to inquire about writing a country/city guide.

Day in the Life

If you've been on a program abroad, share your first-hand experiences with a specific organization. Day in the life articles allow readers to have a clear and vibrant picture of what the day to day life of a volunteer/teacher/intern/student is like in a specific country/city. Use this as a great way to grab your readers’ attention with an entertaining anecdote or fun story that also gives an idea of life in this country for a foreign volunteer/teacher/student/intern. Keep in mind you need to answer the question: What will life be like as a volunteer/teacher/student/intern? Let the readers feel like they are there with you - describe scenes with all five senses.
