A press release is about one page long and tells newspapers and similar news outlets about your trip. It will also include one or two good photos of you. From that, they can decide if they might want to write a story about you. If reporters are interested, they might call or email you for a quote about your experience. It can be a fun experience!
The best part: We will write and send the press release to the newspapers for you! All you have to do is fill out this form.
