About Program
Travel Spain this summer and improve your travel writing with Stoke Travel and Global Hobo’s month-long mobile writing workshops/Spanish road trips. We will roll through the Spanish festival and party circuit, with experienced mentors who have made successful careers in the travel writing world. Perfect your penmanship and learn valuable industry secrets. The tour will also have its own Spanish language teacher, so you can work on your tan while working on your español every day!
The ability to work well in a group is essential. Do note though that the course is just that: a course. You don’t need to already have a foot in the door of the media industry to apply, nor do you already need to be the best writer. All the skills you’ll need to start sculpting your words like a pro and getting published will be taught as part of the curriculum. In fact, many students often keep working for Global Hobo on a freelance basis once the course is over.
