So, who guessed we’d be talking about volcanoes in this month’s travel newsletter? (Not me.) Pretty surreal stuff happening out there. If you’ve been affected, let us know if we can help! Hopefully this mess hasn’t affected your plans for summer travel – as you’ll note on a recent Facebook discussion, it seems lots of people have some fun plans. Anyway, there’s lots of news and events to mention in this month’s update.

Welcome Kelly & Steph!
A warm welcome to our two new interns, Kelly Robinson and Stephanie Yoder. You might remember Stephanie from her earlier feature, Great Places for the the First Time Traveler and Kelly is new to our community – we met at a conference I was at in March, South by Southwest.
They’ll both be involved in some of the big projects coming up this summer, so stay tuned for some fun stuff coming up.
Speaking of Which….
Speaking of summer projects, do you have feedback about Sharing Travel Experiences that you’d like to see actioned? Want to be involved in helping out with any of our future projects? Or heck, just have a travel story you want to see featured? Then email me – I’d love to hear from you.
A Message to the Photographers
One of our sponsors, MatadorU, has expanded their popular travel writing curriculum now to include a separate travel photography course. It’s new so I haven’t seen it, but it is already getting rave reviews. If you’re a photographer looking for the tricks of the trade, it would be worth checking out: click the banner below to check it out.
