About 40 locations around the globe that your travel dollar will take you farther.

My colleagues researched these 4 articles looking for value in the context of currency fluctuations over time. You’ll see some of these destinations were more expensive just 12+ months ago. Some, have been value oriented for a long time and continue to be. Injoy.

Even though my daughters are not even home from the hospital yet (soon!) – I’m dreaming of a potential trip for the 5 of us in 2013.

We released a report last week for folks that are considering an Around the World trip, or any Multi-Stop International trip for that matter. It breaks down 8 of the top companies and the Do It Yourself (DIY) method comparing costs and features. This is an underserved market and this free download will help save any potential traveler days and days of research.

We will be updating it a few times per year.

We launched the Indie Travel Manifesto with our friend Rolf Potts today. I’m excited to be a small part in it’s creation. I feel motivated and alignment when I read it. Maybe you will too.

I also wrote a guest post on Brandy’s Blog today.
