Write about Eastern Europe with us.
Do you enjoy travelling to Eastern Europe and already write yourself? Then you have come to the right place – we are always looking for new additions to our team.
Whether you like hiking in the Carpathian Mountains, exploring abandoned factories in Georgia or are well versed in the history of the former Yugoslavia – we offer you the opportunity to publish your texts with us.
In our blog, we deal with all countries that were formerly part of the so-called Eastern Bloc. If you are visiting or have visited one of our countries on a longer trip or are interested in individual places, you are welcome to join us! Just take a look at our country overview.
Guest authors already write for Wild East.
For everyone who already writes
Wild East is aimed especially at people who already write and publish – and know Eastern Europe from their own experience.

Our topics
As far as the choice of topics is concerned, you are very free with us. However, in addition to “classic” travel destination descriptions, we also emphasize the following topics in our blog:
- Soviet history / history of countries under Soviet occupation
- Architecture under socialism
- Holocaust and history of the Second World War
- Jewish sights
- Culinary Eastern Europe
- Lost places and urban exploration
- Hiking and nature
- Industrial culture
- Culture and languages of the East
However, if you have a topic that is particularly close to your heart, we are also open to suggestions.
What we can offer
We are the only travel blog that focuses on Eastern Europe, so we work together with many Eastern Europe enthusiasts. Even though we are not yet able to offer our authors a fee, working with us has many advantages:
- a creative environment of Eastern Europe enthusiasts and many contacts
- the opportunity to publish your own texts
- the opportunity to write about topics that are rarely covered elsewhere
- the chance to advertise your products and services (e.g. books or tours offered by you) with us
- your own author page with bio and a link to your website
- we take care of promoting the texts
