Write for Us Travel Gear: Travel Gear Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most of what turns up for travel gear write for us is general travel pages asking for destination stories, plus an outdoor site or two and a guide on packing for adventure trips. Luggage specialists don't get much of a look in. That's the opening here. I'm not after another city guide. I want the person who's had a wheel snap on cobbles, worked out which cube system survives a month of repacking, and can say why one adapter lives in their bag while the others stay at home.

Picture someone standing over an open suitcase the night before a work trip. That's my reader: a business owner or freelancer who travels for clients and wants to get it right first time. They've read my guides to the best cabin luggage, packing cubes worth buying and cabin bag size limits, so a travel gear post has to add something those pages don't.

60-second travel gear guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you taken the gear you're writing about on at least one real trip
• Does the post tell readers what to pack or buy, not where to go
• Is there a downside or a limit you found along the way
• Can a reader act on your opening without scrolling
• Have you left out affiliate links and brand copy

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Choosing a cabin bag that fits airline rules
• Packing systems for one bag trips
• Adapters, cables and charging kit for long journeys
• Daypacks and bags for city breaks
• Kit for hiking and adventure trips that still packs small
• Keeping passports, cards and valuables organised on the move
• Business travel kit for people who fly for work
• Repairing, caring for and storing luggage between trips

If your post could be published on any travel gear site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in travel gear posts

Bags and kit sit in the first column, followed by the pitch that lands and the one that doesn't.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Cabin bags	Sizing and features tested on real flights	A list of bags you haven't carried
Packing systems	How cubes or compression worked over a trip	A generic packing list
Tech and charging	Adapters and cables you rely on when away	A gadget press release
Daypacks	What a bag needs for a day of walking	A destination guide with a bag mentioned
Valuables	Keeping documents and cards organised	Scare stories with no practical fix

What we don't accept

• Destination guides with no gear angle
• Brand written product promotion
• Packing lists lifted from other sites
• Affiliate roundups with no hands on testing
• Articles you've already placed on another blog

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong travel gear pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd like to write about the best travel accessories for every traveller." A strong one says "I travel for client work most months, and I want to compare the two packing systems I've used for a year of one bag trips, what broke, what I replaced and what I'd buy again." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Fitting a week of clothes into one cabin bag
• What breaks first on a rolling suitcase
• Charging kit for travellers who work on the road
• Daypack features that matter on a city break
• Organising documents so airport mornings feel calmer
• Lessons from a season of testing packing cubes
• Gear that crosses over from hiking trips to hotel stays
• How a luggage retailer helps customers choose

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept travel gear guest posts?

Yes. Travel gear guest posts are welcome from frequent travellers, gear testers and retailers who've used the kit on real trips. We publish tested advice on luggage, bags and travel kit, and decline destination guides, copied lists and affiliate roundups.

What travel gear topics do you accept?

Cabin bags, packing systems, charging kit, daypacks, adventure gear that packs small and keeping valuables organised. If a reader can pack better after reading it, it fits.

Do you accept travel or camping guest posts too?

Yes, but destination stories suit the travel page and trips under canvas suit the camping page. This page stays with luggage, bags and kit. The same editor reads all three, so send your idea where it fits best.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a travel gear guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience travelling often, testing bags or selling travel kit. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
