Bob Fisher, contributing editor to Arthur Frommer’s
Budget Travel online & Magazine had the undivided attention of our
New York branch, writes New York Chair, Laurie Blumenfeld. He gave great
insights as to how to break into the travel writing industry, as well
as what to think about in terms of shaping a story when on the road. He
then went on to share some fascinating stories about his life while living
in Japan, India and London. The fun really began when a spontaneous round-table
chat started about travelling in Asia. Once again, Bob gave some helpful
hints: did you know you can buy an air-purifier to wear around your neck?
Handy for the polluted roads in Nepal and India! Bob can be contacted
on: email:BobHaru@aol.com.

Next month, by popular demand, Laurie will be holding a travel networking
session so you can ask and answer each other’s travel questions!

New York meetings are held at The Wings Theater, 154 Christopher
Street (btw Greenwich St and Washington St), to the right of Crunch Fitness,
in the Archive on the first Saturday of each month at 4pm.
