GoNOMAD Earns Global Props

Saturday morning in New England...and I am so glad tobe home. I can't remember the last time I've felt so on top of the world...things are just going right.  I have got to make a note of this so that the next time I am in a funk I can pull this out again to make me feel better!

Traveling with the other journalists, I felt  the respect and acknowlegement that GoNOMAD has earned over the past six years.  Instead of  'What is that' they all knew about us and had read the stories on our site.  I felt the same way when Kitzbuhel tourism replied within minutes  of my email, sending me a complete press trip itinerary when they heard I was in the country.

In this business, it's all about respect and reputation. We work hard for years and years, publish stories and continally try to make the site better. We have writers in France (Kent), Spain (Paul), Switzerland (Larry) and Austria (Max) so when we say we cover the world, we ain't kidding.

National Geographic Maps contacted us about using some images of Panama from our site. They know us, and that makes me feel great, same as when the Hartford Courant's magazines contact us  for content reprints, and a publication in India calls about using our guides to India. 

Respect, baby--you gotta earn it.
