Hello,
I am publishing a very small website dedicated to biking in Iceland. Please have a look at the site: www.BikingInIceland.com. The site is fully functional and there is already very good sample content on board. The purpose of the site is to catch relevant, keyword specific search engine traffic, inform visitors briefly about various topics, and lead them on to more in-depth information.
I need to make contact with an experienced travel writer, ideally a cyclist who has taken his/her bike to foreign countries (ideally Iceland, of course).
The purpose of this project is to produce content for the Biking in Iceland site, as follows:
The tips section

You will draw on your own experience and research online content and produce a top notch list of do's and dont's and general advice.
General content about biking in Iceland
Location: [login to view URL]
You will research the internet and locate 15 very educational, well written and highly important posts (in other words, not some run of the mill blather) about the various aspects of cycling in Iceland. For each posts you will write a synposis, summarizing the content. The synposis will be posted on the site, and it will link to the orinal post.

When you mouse over the maps on this page, you see most of the primary points of Iceland discussed. You will study these points and add to them as needed. Note: We have shown no point regarding the highlands, but some of them are accessible by bike, even though the bike needs to be transported there by vehicle. You should consider that.
About style
The style of writing on the Biking in Iceland site will be informal and friendly but not chatty. For reference, please look at Google's help sections and the style of writing used there. Additonally, we will use humor where it fits. The imagery on the Biking in Iceland site has a touch of humor in it, and we will sustain that as much as possible through the site.
About your bid
When you bid on this project, please address your experience and qualifications and my points directly, submitting a sample or two of your writings in attachment or through direct link. Also, please make sure that your GAF profile section has some information about yourself, so that I can inform myself a little about you and your background.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi,
I am a published writer with an MD and extensive experience with travel writing.
Though I have never biked in Iceland, I have biked in Finland, Hawaii, Spain, and lots of other places in Europe, US, and Latin America.
Anyways, I am an avid researcher, and I think I could provide exactly what your readers will be looking for.
Please see my writing samples and resume on PM.
Cheers,
Veronica
