Pirate Fashion, Cocktails, and a Backpacker With a Guitar
June 3rd, 2009 Posted in Cheap Latin America Travel, Leffel projects, Perceptive Travel, contests
It’s time for the June ‘09 issue of Perceptive Travel, with more offbeat travel stories from wandering book authors.
Bruce Northam, author of Globetrotter Dogma, returns from a trip to Honduras feeling better about his fashion sense. Chris Epting, whose Let’s Spend the Night Together story got him into the Best Travel Writing anthology from Travelers’ Tales, provides a rundown on historic watering holes and cocktail birthplaces. Luke Armstrong starts off with a common backpacker tale of a carefree young man in Nicaragua with a guitar, common that is until he runs into a drunk ex-revolutionary.
I chime in with reviews of some new world music albums: Putumayo Presents Italia, the debut from Santero, and the satisfying British rocker meets African blues combo from Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara.
Good stuff all around. Check it out here: new Perceptive Travel issue.

Hi there,
Not sure if you remember me, but I spoke to you a while ago about a travel-related quiz? This month we’ve made a really useful calculator and essentially it’s a CO2 Emissions Calculator that’s been made to help people out with being a bit more green and socially responsible when it comes to flying. If you could take a look at this calculator and maybe put it up on your blog, that would be awesome as I feel that it would add a lot of value to your blog, not to mention being really helpful for your readers! You can find the calculator at http://www.tripbase.com/flight-Co2-calculator, thanks again!
Kind regards,
Sarah.
