Writing Gig of the Month: Rolling Stone Meets MTV

You can imagine the pitch meeting for this: “It’s ‘The Real World’ meets ‘The Apprentice’ meets Cameron Crowe’s ‘Almost Famous’!” When is National Geographic Traveler going to team up with the National Geographic Channel for a travel-writing version?
