Share Your Travel Stories
Here’s a chance to see your name and words in print. Do you have a memorable travel story that you would like to share with HomeAway Traveler readers?

Perhaps you’ve had a crazy travel adventure, a hilarious travel mix-up, or an unbelievably romantic travel encounter? Maybe you learned something little known about your destination, or discovered a remarkable local gem.

Whatever your story, HomeAway Traveler would like to hear it. We welcome photographs as well! To help you get started, here is a list of specific topics about which we’d love to get your input.

Best Decks!

Does your property have an amazing deck? Is the view one-of-a-kind? Or perhaps you have a comfy hammock, plush deck furniture, or a strategically placed hot tub?

Please click here to submit your text and/or photos. The HomeAway Traveler editorial team will choose the three most unique shots, and display them in our next newsletter, including links to your property listing.

*Remember, your photo should be a minimum of 72 dpi up to 300 dpi. A larger photo is generally better, so if you’re not sure of the photo’s DPI, we would prefer a 5”x8” size or larger. Generally a file size that is around 3MB will be sufficient for our needs. Take your best shot!
