Backpacker Guide Seeks Writers

If you're all about backpacking across Europe on someone else's dime and writing about it, try this on for a summer gig: submit the best 200-250 word essay to Bakpak Travelers Guide by April 30 and fly to London on free tix between July and October to research the publisher's 2006 Europe Hostels & Travel Guide. Travel with a $500 cash stipend, a 15-day RailEurope Flexipass, 30 nights hostel accommodation and $250 for food 'n stuff. Trust me on this one: writing about travel from a European hostel bunk is not tough duty.
