Travel Writer Dreams to Soar Profits to New Heights

What’s faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and can leap tall buildings in a single jump? A travel writer who takes off by leaps and bounds and crosses all borders. He bounces from opportunity to opportunity and can give Tigger from Winnie the Pooh a run for his money!

Remember what Randy Pausch, asked in his “last lecture” asked “are you a Tigger or an Eeyore?”
