Whatever your opinion of 2018, I’ll treasure it as the year JunketsAndJaunts.com got off the ground. My start-up site is filled with “street-level travel stories.” The content covers destinations, as well as the people who inhabit those destinations. The Best of Junkets & Jaunts includes travel tips, roundups and best-of lists. And I’m resolved to provide much more in 2019.
As the calendar changes, the Best of Junkets & Jaunts includes a look back at My Top 5 “Favorite Stories” and the “Most-Read Stories” published in J&J from 2018:
