Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/09/2008 (6482 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One of the most enjoyable parts of regular travel (apart from a cosy familiarity with employees at baggage-claim centres around the world) is the number of interesting people that one meets. Further, it is a constant eye-opener to realise what some of these folks do for a living.Among the many occupations that I admire is that of editing and producing newsletters. To come up with new and interesting copy month after month is no easy task, yet there are a wide number of publications that do this, and continuously feed the travellers’ soul.In Iceland I had the opportunity to meet Jeff Blumenfeld, the publisher of a marvellous piece called Expedition News. This journal is a terrific compendium of some of the more abstract and extraordinary expeditionary travel and travel-related research currently being undertaken.And for those of you with curious and inquiring minds, I would highly recommend that you spend a few minutes in its company.
