TRAVEL WRITING WORKSHP IN THE YUCATAN
Award-winning travel journalist Judith Fein and her husband, travel photographer Paul Ross, invite you to a travel journalism retreat in the heart of the Yucatan, in Mexico, near Belize, from December 4-11, 2007.
Participants will stay at Rancho Encantado (www.encantado.com), a lush eco-resort on a pristine lagoon of seven colors, visit remote and little-known archeological sites, cook with Maya people, visit Maya villages, swim, go kayaking, take a boat ride, get a free massage, enjoy three gourmet meals a day (including candlelight dinners), and learn to transform these experiences into travel articles and stories. There will be daily classes in all aspects of travel journalism, and, for those interested, travel photography will be demystified through group and individual instruction. No experience is necessary.
Space is limited to 26, and is available on a first-come, first-served
basis. Please note that the last workshop sold out rapidly.
