Publication Submission Guidelines – Tourist in My Own Country

A place for imperfect wonderful humans

Hello and welcome my friends 🩵 Sorry if I sound a tad like a dictator below.

  1. Only photos you snapped yourself please. It’s ok if they are not perfect as they lend an authenticity to the Publication 📷
  2. No AI in any form (including pictures)
  3. No fiction or poetry (love poets, but seeking non-fiction personal essays here)
  4. Bringing back blogging, meaning highly personal. We want to get to know you better with each piece you submit. (Depth vs superficial)
  5. Not your usual travel blog. Routines, culture, food, fun, nature, joy & travel, but in your own backyard. Pet peeves and angst welcome too (but no hate or divisiveness). We are human after all and can’t possibly be positive all the time.
  6. Living years in a country makes you an expert. Off the beaten track, insider knowledge. Beyond the usual tourist guide. Slice of life stories of exploration and your daily routine.
  7. A supportive place where we vibe as a team. Meaning reading the stories here that resonate with you. Even better, if you’re planning a trip to that particular country. We hope to be a unique resource.
