“I got my first big travel writing gig—a book deal with Frommer’s—15 years ago when I was just out of college and living in Europe thanks to an Ed2010 newsletter tip. 15+ books and dozens of cover stories later, I still reference that every single time I talk to colleges and high school students a …
