Revisiting “5 Badass Reasons to Travel Solo”

Why didn’t this story take off?

This was my first article that wasn’t just a write-up of my travel journals but instead trying to put my many experiences into a cohesive travel article. I enjoyed writing it and was proud of it at the time, and it was the first story I’ve written that started to gain any traction. However, I’ve grown a lot as a writer since then and would love to give this an update.

My main problem was that it never got chosen for distribution. I was wondering if you guys could help me to figure out why.

It could be the lack of introduction? Or that the formatting wasn’t entirely correct or just that I was a bit green. I would love to know your thoughts.

Thank you so much, everyone!

UPDATE

Thank you so much to everyone for your feedback! I have so much love to this publication for helping us all to become better writers I have taken your advice and made some changes to the piece, most importantly an introduction and a short conclusion.
