Travel Betty Featured On Ten Foot Square

November 19th, 2007 · 7 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

About two months ago, I was invited by the lovely Carter-Ann over at TenFootSquare.com to do an interview for their site. Their motto: traveling the world one square at a time! And let’s just say, they know how to get around. They’ve got a team of posters to cover off on a myriad of delicious bits around the globe.

Needless to say, I was honored to participate, especially since it was my first official interview! So, without further ado, I am pleased to announce that it was just recently posted for the whole world to see here: “Are You A Travel Betty?”

Please take a look at your earliest convenience. Much obliged.

Good article, congrats. It’s always a thrill to recognized.

TheZen of Travel-Betty. But tell me, do they (10′) know about your pork fetish?

Thanks, Olga! You’re the one, the only, and the best

I was waiting until further along in the relationship to tell them, Mickey! Don’t spill the pork-n-beans.

Very cool, congratulations on your interview.

I know a “travel Betty” you should know about:
Barbara Hodgson

She has two books that you’d like.

The first is the newer one, Trading in Memories. It’s a collection of travel essays and ephemera that Barbara has collected from antique shops, bazaars and markets from around the world. The book shows pieces in her collection, including photos from Paris markets, c. 1890; an engraving of Pierre Loti, April 3, 1892; minerals and fossils from Dr. DH Wilsone’s collection, 1836.

She is a cool woman traveler:

Her second book is No Place for a Lady, which traces 300 years of women world travelers.

There are links to both books on the Trading in Memories site.

Happy travels!
