save on tolls? Would love to hear from road trip and car
experts or anyone who has done and written about extensive car
travel. Please send 3-5 of your best tips. Looking for
suggestions that readers might find surprising or have not heard

Query:
I'm looking for folks to speak to those who live and work in
vacation spots around the world. I'm trying to find out what
these places are like right now in the midst of a changed world
due the COVID-19 pandemic, and I specifically want to hear from
the locals who serve that community.
If you're interested, please reply to this listing with 200-300
words about what life is like right now for you.
Things to keep in mind when speaking on your experience:
--What was the city you live and work in like during peak
vacation times, and what is it like now? --What was your job
before the pandemic hit? --Are you furloughed, unemployed, or
recently back working now? Did you switch jobs if you are
working? --Is everyone in your local industry experiencing the
same sort of setbacks or changes that you are? --How are you
feeling? Are you feeling optimistic, hopeful, angry--all three?
Some other way?
I know this is broad, so if you need any clarification feel free
to hit me up on Twitter @lamour before answering.
Requirements:
I'm looking for folks who live and work in vacation spots around
the world who welcome tourists as a big part of their
businesses.
This could be anywhere...
EXAMPLES: if you own a bar in Hawaii that tourists love, drive a
tour bus in Jamaica, run a bike tour company in Rome, are a
recent back-at-work card dealer in Las Vegas or Atlantic City,
or even in smaller locales, cleaning service workers at bed and
breakfasts on coastal towns, rangers at camp grounds,
anywhere--as long as you live and work there.
If you're interested, please reply to this listing with 200-300
words about what life is like right now for you.

I'm researching a story about the surprising things that travel
insurance covers. I'd love to hear from anyone who discovered
their travel insurance covered something they didn't expect
(like a rental car, lost luggage, or repatriating human
remains). Were you able to file a claim on that coverage, or was
it just interesting to know that the coverage existed? From
travel insurance experts, I would love to get your top three or
four things that travel insurance covers, that people might not
know about. What are they, what do they cover, and what are the
limits of coverage?

Query:
I'm researching a story about medical evacuation coverage on
travel insurance. There's a wide range of coverage available.
But how do you know if you have enough? I would love to hear
from anyone who has been medically evacuated. Did you have
enough coverage on your travel insurance to take care of the
bill? What do you wish you had known before you bought your
policy. From travel insurance experts, I'd be interested in your
tips for determining the best medical evacuation coverage? What
kinds of things should you look for in a policy? How about
dollar amounts? And should you consider buying extra coverage?
