Open letter to Laureen Ong, President of Travel Channel
Dear Laureen,
Can I call you Laureen? Perhaps that’s a bit too familiar, but I have to tell you that I’m a fan of your work. Well, I’m a fan of Samantha Brown. So, I’d like to help you out a bit. » Read more: Why the Travel Channel should be Showing the Tour de France
In honor of the US premiere of Doctor Who this week, I wanted to share a few travel tips I got from watching the series.
Don’t let the fact that this post is based on the British Sci Fi series scare you off. First airing in 1963, Doctor Who is the longest running travel show on television. It’s not much different from watching Samantha Brown, only with time travel, talking cats and evil trash cans. It is the kind of show that can appeal to people of all ages from children who like playing with action figures to adults who enjoy a game at poker.de. It will make you laugh, get excited and sometimes even cry. If you’re interested in a primer, here’s some info.
Here are a few things I’ve learned from The Doctor.

This is part 2 of a four part series, in which I chastise myself for past experiences and give advice on fixing myself for future travels. Yes, I can give myself advice without being crazy. If you’d like to catch up, you can read Part 1: Eat Stuff.
Lesson #2 for cultural idiots: Don’t just take photos, take inspiration.
I’m setting up a contest on the site called “Identify This Photo.” Because I need serious help with about 7,000 photos that are a total mystery to me. Seriously, I don’t even think I took most of them. My working theory is that they just came with the camera like that generic family in a new picture frame. You may not know them, but damn, they sure look pretty.
Do you know where this is? Me neither.
