There aren’t many places online where you can find quality, commercial-free, consumer-focused travel journalism. I can think of maybe a handful, and I read them all religiously.
It is even more unusual to find something that is completely free — no strings attached.
I’ve resisted the urge to put the continent on this site behind a firewall and begin charging for subscriptions. Or even to go “commercial” and start churning out fluff that will attract big-name advertisers.
So how do I keep this going?
Well, that’s where you come in. Just like public radio and television turns to its audience for support, as of today, I’m offering an opportunity to help pay some of the bills.
No hard sell. If you’re a regular reader of this site and newsletter, I’m inviting you to become a supporter.
If you like the fearless reporting and the incisive commentary found here, please consider lending a hand.
