  1. Eugene Fodor is known to be a keen traveler. According to wiki he is the world’s largest publisher of English language travel and tourism information, and the first relatively professional producer of travel guidebooks.

  2. Now this is a shame, only 1 listing from the whole of Australia. I would have thought we might have made a couple more? Shame really as it just means someone might miss out on some of the best accommodation ever in the most amazing locations.
