Introducing My Forum

It occurred to me that I don't give my site's visitors much of an opportunity to ask questions or contribute to any conversations about travel, so I've created a forum (see the "Forum" tab above).

Feel free to participate to your heart's content. Either join a discussion, ask a question or put forward your point of view. Any reasonable discussion is allowed - which means that I won't tolerate foul language or abuse.

Disagreement with others is fine, and your views are welcome.

Of course, you can always comment on any of my stories, but the forum will give you an opportunity to start your own topic, or to respond to someone else's thread.
