The Top Ten Travel Stories of 2011 on GoNOMAD Travel
It's been another year of great travel, with our staff and contributors visiting all parts of the world and sharing their travels here, on GoNOMAD. We take pride in how many places we send writers and that wherever they go during the year, they always manage to share their words and photos with our readers.
With our publishing schedule putting out a new travel article every business day, we have a lot of stories to choose from every year. What makes these stories special is how they embody our philosophy...they put into words the way we see the world--with open eyes, inquisitive minds, and a willingness and interest to really find out what it's like there.
Our number one story of the year was written by Andrea Kaucka and Rene Bauer, two European journalists who have spent the last fourteen months traveling through Africa. They picked a country--Sudan--that doesn't get much travel writer attention, and they described a meeting with the village chieftain...the kind of cross-cultural exchange that we hope our website encourages.
Other top writers for the year include Bill Pfeffer who discovered an Italian town on the coast of Kenya, and Ann Banks, who shared an experience of a weekly dinner party hosted every Sunday in Paris. Mike Smith, known for his incredible photography, made the top list with his account of fishing in Japan using cormorant birds.
We're proud of our top ten winners and all of the fine travel writers who make GoNOMAD what it is.
