Dear Blog Readers,

ID 20435219 © Matthew Benoit | Dreamstime.com

I have been writing this blog for over 6 months. This is my 29th effort. I have blogged about marathons, distribution, celebrity meet and greet conventions, scooters and more. Some have been silly and some have been serious. So far, I have written about whatever I want. Hopefully, for my publisher’s sake, most of my blogs have had some sort of travel or business connection (no matter how tangentially).

Aside from the (usually positive) comments that some people leave, I have no idea what you really might like to read here. Global Traveler‘s editor-in-chief Lisa Matte is always open to ideas for articles in the magazine. I am going to follow her lead.

If there is something you want to see here, this is your chance to request it. You can either do so by leaving a comment or you can email any requests directly to me at john@globaltravelerusa.com. I promise to take all ideas seriously and I will respond to each of you. So, let’s hear it. What do you want from my blog?

-John Wroblewski, distribution specialist

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
