A tribute to my friend, the late travel media icon Arthur Frommer

The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

Sarah, beautiful pictures on your site! Unfortunately I coupldn't see the ones of Nepal. I went to the menu with all the different places you have albums of and clicked on Nepal, but it produced an album of Monument Valley, as far as I could make out. I enjoyed those too, but was hoping to see some beautiful shorts of Nepal.

NEW HOUSE-SITTING SOCIAL NETWORK

Making travel more affordable

I'd like to alert you all to you to a recent newcomer to the web HouseSitMatch which provides an online environment for house-sitters and homeowners to meet and exchange information. House-sitters can find free accommodation for their travels and homeowners can leave their home, pets and garden in capable hands while they travel. Reciprocal house-sits can be organised which is effectively house-swapping.

The site currently specialises in the UK and Australia and is brand new so we are in the throes of building sitter and property databases. In view of that Value Match is currently FREE so we encourage people to get in on the ground level of this new house-sitting social network!

Reading the site's blog is a great way to be introduced to the concept.

Anyone interested in historic or heritage travel? The courthouse in New Braunfels, TX has been recently restored. Texas’ courthouses offer some of the most remarkable examples of public architecture in the state– and the nation. Some 139 Texas courthouses are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There will be a launch event on Jan 22 to give journalists and bloggers a "Behind the scenes" look at the new courthouse in New Braunfels. Email me if interested in attending: adrianag7@gmail.com
