Europe Up Close: The Insider's Travel Guide
One of the primary writers for this awarding winning, top-10 travel Web site, I've written two articles a week, every week, since June 2009. Many of my articles were picked up by the Chicago Sun Times.
Accolades from Reuters:
"At Reuters, we have spent months looking for the best business travel blogs in the world, and your “Europe Up Close” blog is easily one of the most thorough, entertaining, conversational, whimsical, utilitarian, well-written, exquisitely photographed travel blogs we have read (and we’ve reviewed thousands!). [...] At the risk of being redundant, I have to tell you how remarkable all of your contributing writers are. The variety of voices and perspectives makes each post unpredictable in some terrific ways and very predictable in other, very good ways. After reading many of them, I got to know what each brought to the table and enjoyed their uniqueness." --- Peter Myers, Editor of Reuters Business Traveller Channel
