Thank you for your interest in contributing to Blind Travels.

Blind Travels is a travel resource created by and for blind and low vision travelers. Our goal is to publish thoughtful, experience‑driven content that helps people travel with more confidence, independence, and curiosity. Guest posts are one of the ways we expand that conversation, when they genuinely serve our readers.

This page outlines what we look for in guest contributions, how to submit, and what does not fit our editorial mission.

Who Can Submit a Guest Post

You do not need to be blind or disabled to submit a guest post.

We welcome submissions from:

• Blind and low vision travelers sharing lived experience
• Sighted travelers writing about traveling with, alongside, or in support of blind or low vision people
• Tour operators, guides, or hospitality professionals sharing real‑world experiences working with blind or low vision guests

What matters most is perspective, respect, and usefulness to our audience.

What We Love to Publish

Strong guest posts for Blind Travels often include:

• Practical travel tips or travel hacks that actually work
• First‑hand travel experiences, from either a blind or sighted perspective
• Lessons learned while traveling with, guiding, or supporting blind or low vision travelers
• Sensory‑rich descriptions that go beyond visual language
• Honest reflections that help readers avoid common pitfalls and travel with more confidence

If a reader can take something from your post and use it on their next trip, you are on the right track.

Tone and Voice

Blind Travels content is:

• Conversational, not academic
• Informative without being preachy
• Honest, encouraging, and grounded in real experience
• Free of pity narratives or “inspiration” framing

Blindness and low vision are not treated as tragedies or superpowers. They are simply part of how people experience the world.

Accessibility Requirements

Accessibility is not optional.

All guest posts must follow these guidelines:

• All included images must include accurate, descriptive alt text
• Avoid visual‑only language without context (for example, “as you can see”)
• Describe environments using sound, texture, orientation, and other non‑visual cues when relevant

Posts that do not meet basic accessibility standards will be returned for revision.

Links, Attribution, and Transparency

We believe in fair and open linking.

Guest posts may include links back to your own website or business, provided they are relevant and contextual.

We ask that you:

• Include a link to your website in your author bio or within the article where appropriate
• Add a reciprocal link on your site pointing back to your published guest post on Blind Travels

Any relevant partnerships, collaborations, or hosted experiences should be disclosed clearly.

What We Do Not Accept

To protect our readers and editorial integrity, we do not accept:

• Overt advertisements or promotional content
• Posts written primarily to drive traffic back to another site
• SEO‑driven filler content
• Articles focused on Social Security, medical equipment, or healthcare topics (Blind Travels is a travel site)
• Product reviews
• Hotel or property reviews written by outside contributors

About Products

Editorial Review Process

All guest posts are reviewed and edited for:

• clarity
• tone
• accessibility
• alignment with Blind Travels’ mission

Edits may be suggested or required before publication. This is a collaborative process intended to make your post stronger and more useful for readers.
