After reading this blog, I became interesed in finding out more information about this new magazine. I was very impressed. If this man has made a fortune before with different mediums I believe he holds the passion and business logic to do it again. This travel magazine seems very intriguing because it captivates the truth that is going on in different countries. I feel as though this magazine can really connect the reader to the travel experience.
I am impressed and supportive of this brand and media company that could capitalize on this growing trend of what is ‘really’ going on in other countries and opening our eyes to the world.
Oh, this is fantastic! Exactly what my husband and I have been looking for. We enjoy getting off the beaten path when traveling in foreign countries – we rent a timeshare (we use http://www.redweek.com)to use as a home base, and head out. A magazine like AFAR would help us be able to really immerse ourselves in the local culture. Bravo!
