Types of Posts You'll See on This Blog
A friend of called the other day to ask if she should cancel her trip to Asia because of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and AirAsia QZ8501 flight that went missing.
And she wanted to know why I hadn't blogged about it.
Long story short I told her that two incidents in a year may seem like a lot but in the grand scope of things, it's really not that much. Air travel is safe. But things can happen.
But the longer conversation was about the types of post you'll see on this blog.
I could write about everything related to travel. All the news and events that happening.
Express how my heart goes out to the family members of both missing flights. How it's a horrible tragedy not to mention not having closure might even be worse. And pontificate on other travel matters.
But that's not what this blog is all about.
And I'm fortunate because I can and do write about travel news and events, but not here.
What You'll Find On This Blog
Things I post about on this blog are meant to help you travel well for less, get to your destination as cheaply as possible, but without having to give up some luxuries.
Airfare deals
So I post about killer airfare deals, if they last longer than a few hours. Otherwise it's better to follow me on Twitter.

Traveling the world to find the best craft beers.
Doing the ordinary but somewhere else
Traveling to unique or iconic places.
Eating locally

And tricks and tips to help you travel better. Along with tips for other traveler bloggers. Plus some miscellaneous other topics, but still with the same vein in mind of traveling well for less.
So I could post about all the travel news. But in keeping with the theme of the blog, I'll stick to posting about the travel news that helps you get free travel.
