New Travel Website YourLifeIsATrip.com Inspires Your Travels and Your Life
Santa Fe, NM, July 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Sure, it's difficult. Sure there are obstacles and setbacks. Sometimes it's crazy, astounding, amazing, funny, frustrating, and exasperating, but no matter what happens...life is always a trip.
Your life is a trip and YourLifeIsATrip.com is committed to helping you maximize the experience. You can be a traveler, rather than a tourist, in your own life. You're invited to browse, connect, read, write, inspire, share and join the fun.
Everywhere you look, there are cutbacks, layoffs, bailouts, belt-tightening. But, being cockeyed optimists, YourLifeIsATrip.com co-creators, Judith Fein and Ellen Barone, see this as a period of restructuring - deciding on priorities and what is most important in life. They believe that there is no division between your travels, your life, your soul, your well-being, your relationships, your money, your work, your play. Your life is a trip and their goal in creating YourLifeIsATrip.com is to help you maximize that unique experience. You can be a traveler rather than a tourist in your own life–whether that means traveling with nomads, going on a quest to find the world's best yoghurt, reconnecting with a sibling who left the family a decade ago or vowing not to speak for a week.
Between them, journalists Fein and Barone have written and photographed for more than 100 publications, traveled from Mog Mog to Matmata, coached, made films, given talks, been hired as experts and advisers, blogged, taught math, taught travel writing, taught photography, volunteered in jails, won awards for playwriting, screenwriting and travel journalism, appeared on radio and TV, helmed websites, sold screenplays in Hollywood, lived in Europe, Africa and Mexico.
What The Huffington Post does for politics, YourLifeIsATrip aims to do for the trip of life. Different voices. Different subjects. All related by the common theme–life as a trip. Since it’s soft-launch a few months ago, thanks to an assemblage of talented contributors, the site has enjoyed double-digit growth on the new reader and new subscriber fronts and attracted national attention with article mentions by WorldHum, The Los Angeles Times, Matador Network, ETurboNews and Tripso, to name a few. In addition, readers can stay on top of the latest blogs and news from YourLifeIsATrip.com on Twitter, via RSS feed or Email.
"You never know what you are going to find on YourLifeIsATrip.com," say Barone and Fein. "It may be a story about a night alone at the Louvre, the private thoughts of a New York City taxi driver or the joys of attending Master Classes when you travel or explore your home turf. YourLifeIsATrip.com is one of the rare sites where writers are encouraged to express what they really think and feel–from tenderness to outrage to exultation to bemusement. We encourage reader feedback, and we've even found new writer voices among the visitors. Of course, like life, we believe that YourLifeIsATrip.com can never be too much fun!"
