The Big Blue Marble Newsletter: Sample Articles

We are all travelers in the wilderness of the world, and the
best we can find in our travels is an honest friend
Robert Louis Stevenson

The Big Blue Marble will feature two types of articles. The main stories (approximately five to six articles) will profile people whose lives have been changed by choosing experiences that allow them travel like a local rather than a tourist or strike up a whole new life in a different corner of the world. Several smaller articles will provide useful tips for safer, cheaper, and more meaningful travel generated by me, Paul Heller, as I travel around the world and first hand reviews of travel opportunities that I encounter during his trip round?the?world.
