A Week of E-Reading for Travelers

As we wind up our week of e-books for travelers–one for adventurous baby boomers, one for travelers to Cape Cod, one for cheapskates in Paris, and this one about Housesitting–it is only appropriate to announce the upcoming book by Andrei Credescu that addresses this question “Is print dead? Will literature survive technological advances.  His book, Bibliodeath: My Archives (With Life in Footnotes) will be released in paper back and e-book in November 2012. If you have ever heard his erudite and witty talks on public radio, you’ll want to read his latest.

Travel Secrets turn into Water

No more words...
Shhhh!

Several months ago, my friend Donna Hull who writes about boomer adventure travel, tagged me in a fun little blogger game.  I had to write a post about travel secrets. I did. It was a popular post. See My 3 Best Kept Travel Secrets of Greece. and that was that. But that was not quite ALL of that.  The folks who started this little game, TripBase, had something more serious in mind.

They have put together a set of e-books of the hundreds of travel secrets they gathered from travel writers on the web. You can add them all to your travel library (I DID) or choose family travel, world travel (that’s where my secrets are), travel tips, U.S. travel (that’s where Donna’s secrets are), Italy, beaches or foodie. Take a look, and use the A Traveler’s Library link (I don’t get any money, but I’m competitive and want to have my fans to get more benefits than somebody else’s fans!)

But best of all, these travel secrets turn into water. Every single download gets a contribution from Trip Base to provide the most basic of needs–pure drinking water. Their goal is to drill enough wells to supply a whole school. So help out and help yourself to the greatest travel secrets!
