The End Of The Frugal Traveler?

In some extremely sad news this morning, Price range Travel is reporting that Matt Gross of The New York Occasions is leaving his submit as the Frugal Travel, 1 of the, if not the most, well known — and commonly most e-mailed — recurring articles in the paper.

No word yet if Matt’s going to be filing dispatches as a freelancer for the paper, but he is moving forward with a new project: a new travel display. In accordance to his Kickstarter web page (the place you can donate to get the task off the ground), the demonstrate will be named Strangers in Unusual Lands. Matt’s in the procedure of raising cash to shoot a “sizzle reel,” with hopes to land a complete-time gig on a cable outlet. The premise, you ask?

Every episode of Strangers in Strange Lands will introduce us to two folks who are living vastly diverse but equally extraordinary lives in 1 locale — like the Orthodox rabbi ministering to Jews in Cancun and, in close by Mérida, the popular novelist’s granddaughter luxuriating in a palace . . . Beyond the exotic locales, it is the interaction in between host and topic that tends to make Strangers in Strange Lands unique. As each and every episode progresses, we will see the bonds of friendship take shape, a approach that leads us deeper and deeper into these unusual lands.

As stated, if interested in assisting to get the project off the ground, head over to Kickstarter to make a donation and aid make certain Matt will get the $825 (at the time of publication) left to meet the target of $2,500. Unhappy to see you go. Possible Frugal Vacationers, break out the resumes!
