You likely wouldn’t look twice at 39-year-old Avraham Loewenthal if you passed him on the narrow cobblestone streets of Tzfat (also spelled Safed, Safad and Zefat), the ancient city in northern Israel that was the birthplace of Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism.

It??s hard not to love David Farley.
He??s the poster-child of a Walking Party travel writer. He eloped to Italy with fellow travel writer Jessie Sholl. He watched a pig get slaughtered outside of Prague and used that for his contribution to Traveler??s Tales Prague (which he also co-edited with Sholl).
More recently he has become a sort of Indiana Jones for the Gen-X set (his current book is on the search for Jesus Christ??s foreskin which, up until 1983, was allegedly preserved in the Italian hill-town of Calcata).

If you happen to be traveling from London on Eurostar and poke your head into first class, you’ll probably see Mark Smith in Seat 61.
He’ll be reading a copy of T.E. Lawrence or enjoying the unspoiled (and unobstructed) scenery with his wife, Nicolette, and their year-old son, Nathaniel.
While he claims they live as an “ordinary family” in Buckinghamshire, Mark (a career railway man) is anything but ordinary to the 400,000 people a month who visit his website, The Man in Seat 61 where he outlines his favorite routes for train and ferry travel.

Chuck Thompson is a travel writer who knows controversy. His recent book “Smile When You’re Lying: Confessions of a Rogue Travel Writer” is a unabashed peek into the seedy underbelly of the travel writing industry.
From editor’s too afraid to publish quality writing for fear of angering advertisers, to the copious amount of freebies given to writers for favourable words - the truth is an ugly place.

It??s nearly 9:30 am in Macleod Ganj, and I haven??t even had my coffee yet, and for a Canadian, this is a serious predicament. Even the backpackers and the trendy young Tibetans are up by now, enjoying a morning latte at the Malabar caf?.
I have just woken my driver from sleep with a desperate howl: ???Move it! We??re gonna be late!??? This hysteria, I think, is mostly unheard of in the temporary home of the Buddhist Tibetan government in exile??how very un-zen of me.
