Editorial and Collaboration Guidelines

OpenMindedTraveler is an independent publication built on firsthand experience, candid storytelling, and editorial judgment.

I do not sell anonymous link placements or publish articles created primarily to manipulate search rankings.

Commercial collaborations may be considered when they are relevant to the site’s readers and consistent with its subject matter. Any sponsored relationship must be clearly identified, and I retain final approval over the wording, links, images, and publication of material appearing under my name or on this website.

I do not accept arrangements that require:

• undisclosed sponsored content;
• guaranteed dofollow links;
• unrelated commercial links;
• publication under my name without my final approval;
• access to my website, publishing account, or login credentials;
• articles that do not meet the site’s editorial standards.

A paid arrangement does not guarantee publication. All proposed content must be reviewed and approved before an agreement is finalized.

Guest Contributions

I may occasionally consider original personal essays, reported stories, photographs, or videos that genuinely fit the themes of OpenMindedTraveler.

Relevant subjects include:

• life in Colombia;
• travel and cultural adaptation;
• relationships across cultures;
• women’s experiences abroad;
• unusual or overlooked Colombian destinations;
• thoughtful reflections on building a life outside your home country.

Submissions must be original and should not have been created primarily to promote a company, product, or backlink.

Please send a short proposal before submitting a complete article.

Books and Reader Questions

Questions about Passport to Passion, Coffee Axis Living, or other published work are welcome.

Please mention the book or article you are referring to in the subject line so I can respond more efficiently.
