Where do you begin if you want to become a travel writer and you don’t have any writing experience or industry connections? Any suggestions? Is it best to take classes in writing or is this something that can be learned on your own? How competitive is the travel writing market?

I do know someone who has the same ability who travels back and forth to Japan to teach English. I also have thought of import/export, though I don’t know much about it. Being an antiques scout/buyer was suggested to me. I doubt I could compete in the photoessay/travel writer category. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
No, I’m not an airline employee, and no, I’m not suggesting trying to transfer my pass. Please read my description before replying.

I’m a good writer and I love travelling and I want to make it a career. Plus, I’ve travelled to lots of places in the past and I know for a fact that the corporate world is not the place for me. What does it take to become a fulltime travel writer and leave a company that rarily allows vacation?
