Travel in the 21st Century
By Roberta Beach Jacobson in Karpathos, Greece

Editor Ian MacKenzie (of Vancouver, B.C.) started Brave New Traveler (BNT) -- his "daily travel magazine" in October of 2006. Today, BNT publishes a weekly free newsletter too.

Both are a fun read -- and free.

MacKenzie publishes articles on a wide variety of travel topics -- from personal accounts of a journey to humorous stories to how-to advice for landing a job overseas. And BNT supplies the latest travel-related news from around the world as well as keeping its readers up to date on useful online tools for travel blogs and travel podcasting.

This e-zine is not interested in your standard travel article... that is, a destination-specific piece. MacKenzie is after an account of your travel experience.

And your experiences can be packaged in a number of ways to appeal to this audience. For instance...

** You could tell a story about spiritual travel -- maybe you've taken a trip that lead you to a spiritual discovery about yourself or the place you traveled to.

** You could share an opinion about a greener, more responsible way to travel.

** Or you could share some handy travel tips -- BNT publishes those in addition to advice on travel writing and photography,too.

This ezine is looking for original...
