Good afternoon, Edwin, and welcome to go-lo! It's wonderful to have a travel journalist of your background and experience with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.

You may want to take a few minutes to join several of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, including Travel Media Only, the Philippines, Peru, Chile, Nepal, India, German Language/Culture Group, Eating/Drinking the World, The Book Club, and various others covering myriad topics as well as destinations.

FYI, you may also add a box to your profile that includes text, photos, and even video about yourself and your work. If you send us a list of your books in print, we can also included them in our member authors listings in the Book Club group.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, and colleagues. We wish you a great rest of the summer, and look forward to hearing more from you!
