You were waiting for the bounce, weren’t you? Here it is. As of today, I’m a nationally syndicated columnist for Tribune Media Services.
Needless to say, to be mentioned in the same breath as Rick Steves is an honor — as is being called one of the nation’s “best-known travel writers” by the top newspaper syndicate.
If you’re a regular reader of this site, you already know the column, The Travel Troubleshooter. It is basically my flagship feature — my best-read, most-watched, most-emailed column.
I’d like to thank all of you who have written to me with your travel problems in the past, for making this column a reality. I’d also like to than the many people who have written to me in the last weeks about my problems, and have effectively turned the tables on this troubleshooter.
Looks like it worked.
