You have a copy of An Inconvenient Truth on your nightstand that you??at some point??intend on reading. You carry the plastic Nalgene water bottle to refill at instead of buying bottled water.
You may even have switched to energy-saving fluorescent bulbs, started buying local from farmer’s markets, and are an iTunes devotee (not because of the instant gratification, but to reduce plastic consumption).
Recently, Brave New Traveler has received criticism for choosing to publish sponsored posts in our regular content. For those of you new to the site, or unsure what a ???sponsored??? post means, here’s a quick definition:
A sponsored post is an article that has been written expressly because a company has paid for content.
In most cases on Brave New Traveler, our sponsored posts have been written by myself or co-editor Tim Patterson, and have offered a critical eye on the service/product. At no time were we ???easy??? on them because they paid for the post ?? we tried to offer an objective look at the service/product, and leave the reader to decide if they wanted to check out the companies’ website.
Imagine Las Vegas and you have images of neon lights, casinos and maybe a spectacular show. But Vegas has much more to offer than the expected modern pleasures. Fewer than 20 miles from The Strip is a different kind of spectacular view: Red Rock Canyon.
With 1.2 million visitors per year it’s hardly an unknown option. But seeing this magnificent group of sandstone cliffs and canyons isn’t the sort of thing that immediately comes to mind when you picture a Vegas vacation. But it should. They’re amazing.

In the midst of Los Angeles County??s west side, Redondo Beach sets itself apart from the masses of southern California beaches in many ways while still reflecting the best of the laid-back lifestyle for which the area is legendary. Close to so many amusement parks and museums, Redondo Beach is certain to have something enjoyable for everyone.
Redondo Beach has been referred to many times as having ???one of the most romantic sunset watching places in the entire world”- the Seafront Esplanade. The city that once was one of the busiest commercial ports in southern California now is home to a pleasure pier, lined with quaint, unique shops and restaurants and a sport fishing fleet. Don??t forget about the marinas, for what would a southern Cali beach destination be without them!
