This week we spoke with MaryBeth Bond of Gutsy Traveler.com.

Here are the interview questions and a few links to help you find out more about travel.


What's your name, position and how did you become a travel expert?

What are two or three things people must know before they plan a trip?

Your current project for National Geographic Books is a women's travel book. How does travel differ between the sexes? Or, what do women look for in a destination or travel experience that men might
not be aware of?

What challenges do women face when trying to arrange a vacation with other women?

How have traveling attitudes changed over time? (weekend to paris instead of full weeks; travel for
one particular goal (museums or spa) as opposed to "hop on the bus and see the whole country"?

What resources do you suggest to my listeners when they are planning a vacation?

How does travel within the US differ from international travel?

What are the current hot spots?

How can women, or anyone, take a trip cheaply?

What are the pitfalls that swallow up your travel budget?

What's your favorite travel destination?

What was your best trip ever?

See you out there...

Hey, Listeners.

This is just a quick note to let you know I've been on vacation and didn't plan ahead well enough to keep A Life of Play stocked with shows for the past two weeks.

Well, going forward, I hope to change that. Right now, I'm working on the show for July 12 and also trying to put a few others in the can so we don't experience a gap like this in the future.

As a quick recap, I've been doing bike related stuff, some travel and a lot of Tour de France watching.

Get out there and enjoy yourselves and I'll have A Life of Play ready soon to guide you in your adventures.

If you'd like to be interviewed on the show, just send us an email and we'll get you on!

Until then, see you out there...
