Welcome to Episode 22 of Reel Travels. I’m your host Lisa Iannucci and on today’s show, I deviate just a little bit to talk about becoming a successful freelance writer. I have been in the industry for more than 25 years and I have been listening to a lot of podcasts about how to be a successful writer while traveling, and especially while traveling full-time in your RV. I think some information is missing from these podcasts, so I thought I'd fill you in on me and my success and how you can be successful too. Thanks for sticking with the slight deviation from the topic, but I'll be back next week with another regular edition of Reel Travels. If you do like this episode, can you please leave me a rating on iTunes, Spreaker or wherever you listen to this? Thanks so much!    Enjoy the show!
