Budget Travel Still In Business

newsstand

As is getting reported right now, Price range Travel magazine will not be closing down (rumors we reported on a couple weeks ago), but instead is getting sold off by the Washington Post to private investment firm Fletcher Asset Management Inc.

And layoffs? Fletcher has reportedly “agreed to preserve just about all of Budget Travel’s workers.” Very good news for pretty much all of Spending budget Travel’s employees. Glad to see it is sticking about.

Surfing Muizenberg Beach Around Cape Town

Muizenberg Beach in Cape Town Cape Town, South Africa What’s it like surfing Cape Town’s Muizenberg Beach in the winter? Not as cold as I thought it would be! My surfing road trip update from South Africa. After two weeks of intense surfing in Cape Town, I’m already seeing a huge improvement in my technique. The surfing at Muizenberg has been a lot of fun, with plenty of waves for everyone to practice on. In fact they never seem to stop! This is the reason why Muizenberg Beach is considered by many to be one of the best places in the world for learning how to surf.

Adelaide to Cairns Drive Itinerary – via the Great Inland Way

Image
The Adelaide to Cairns drive is not your obvious Australian road trip. When I told people that I’d decided to drive 3,000 kilometres through the Australian outback on my own, 98% of them thought, to put it politely, that I’d lost the plot. I thought I’d lost it a long time ago, but admittedly driving from Adelaide to Cairns alone was certainly one of my more hairbrained schemes. The main reason for my Adelaide to Cairns drive was to do the staple ‘backpacker in Australia’ thing – chase the sun. Arriving in temperamental Adelaide after so long in the tropics was a shock, and rather than travel to Melbourne and up the east coast, ending my Australia trip in Cairns, I wanted to fast track straight to the heat and drive straight up to Tropical North Queensland. The world’s most pointless traffic light – there were no crossroads or roadworks, and at this point I hadn’t seen a car for about 2 hours.
