Welcome to the BCJ Weekly Opportunities Newsletter Board!
This board is where I share amazing travel opportunities as I find them throughout the week.
What started as a newsletter in 2023 strictly for travel writers has evolved into an amazing resource for fellow travel creators and enthusiasts.
Every Sunday, you can come to this page and by the end of the day (EST time), expect to see new travel opportunities uploaded right here.
Sign up to my email list here so you are notified every Sunday when I update the board.
