Welcome to Travel Post Monthly

Dear Reader,

Hello, and thanks for subscribing to Travel Post Monthly.

This month, our content comes from four new travel writers and the editor of one of the most widely read travel magazines on the internet.

Janet Couper takes us on a Rum Runner adventure in Nova Scotia. She invites us to ‘smell the fresh saltiness of a coastal breeze’ and tells us about a four-season trail in the dazzling beauty of Canada.

Janet is a freelance writer, artist, and true Nova Scotian living in Schooner Cove NS.

Get in line for food locals stand around for. Kelly Gegg, a self-proclaimed ‘fledgling writer,’ shares her favorite eatery and hang-out in her St Louis Missouri neighborhood, Benton Park. Kelly suggests you bring a friend and stick around for live music and dancing.

Kyla Daniels shares her top tips for accessible travel in her comprehensive article. Kyla is new to travel writing, but not to travel. She explores the world from a wheeled chair with the goals of comfort and safety for herself, caregivers, and other alter-abled folks.

For those that pack light, Sharon Kurtz, shares her recommendations for souvenir selection. If you can’t resist bringing something home when traveling, read Sharon’s advice on keeping it lite. Sharon is a member of ITWPA, and a new travel writer. She has five stories under her belt. Congratulations, Sharon.

Joe Baur’s Editor’s Choice tip will have you talking to yourself. Joe is an editor for trivago Magazine. He also owns and publishes Without a Path, an internet travel site. It’s a place for all things related to off-the-beaten-path travel and experiences around the globe.

Till next time,

• Rum Runners Trail—A Taste of Nova Scotia’s Coast (7/4/2019) - Smell the fresh saltiness of a coastal breeze. Pause to watch sailboats tack across the bay. Feel the joy of freedom. Come explore Nova Scotia’s Atlantic coast.
• Out-of-the-Way Deli with a Line Around the Block (7/4/2019) - 10:50 AM and the line is wrapped halfway around the block. For the eager, hungry locals, Blues City Deli is the go-to place in the Benton Park neighborhood of South Saint Louis Missouri.
• Tips for Accessible Traveling (7/4/2019) - There is no feeling like confidence when traveling alone, especially when you’re disabled. Most people think that when you’re on crutches, in a wheelchair or powerchair you can’t really travel. Well, they are wrong. I love traveling and never let my disability stop me from doing what I love. Here are tips to help you feel more confident, whether traveling alone or with a companion.
• Supermarket Souvenirs (7/4/2019) - I had barely unpacked my carry-on bag and tossed in a load of long-overdue wash, when I discovered a forgotten souvenir of my travels tucked in the side pocket of my bag. It was reminiscent of an unopened present discovered beneath all the torn wrappings on Christmas morning.
• Editor’s Choice – July 2019 (7/4/2019) - Read your draft aloud before submitting. This will help you catch odd sentence structure and silly typos that you missed by proofreading with just your internal voice.
