Every week we scour the internet reading article after article about different subjects on travel. By the end of the week it becomes overwhelming to choose just a few to feature for our This Week in Travel series. This week we felt one travel site stood out in particular.
Matador Network is an online magazine that provides travelers with writing programs, industry information, human stories, and trip ideas. As a community of travel experts and journalists, we are constantly inspired by their work, their continued support, and their ability to pay it forward. As the news of Haiti’s devastation hit, the team at Matador quickly united to do everything possible to help in relief efforts. So today, we at Sosauce want to feature our favorite articles this week from Matador Network, and encourage you all to participate in their relief efforts for the people of Haiti.
Thank you to the Matador team for setting the bar of excellence in the travel community.
