It takes a village to . . . spread good news . . . raise awareness . . . leave positive footprints . . . support legacies . . . and our village of global citizens is growing.

World Footprints is proud to announce syndication partnerships with two amazing like-minded organizations that enjoy sharing the pleasures and treasures of travel.  Meet Exploration Travel Magazine and Vagabondish.com.

Exploration Travel Magazine is a periodical with a focus on real travel.  Founding editor, Nancy Dickinson, believes that travel shouldn’t be an unfulfilled dream but a reality in the lives of anyone with the desire to do explore.  The magazine is produced in a digital format and will also be available in the app markets, so people can download it to their tablets and read them whenever, wherever they wish.

Vagabondish.com  provides offbeat backpacking and budget travel news, advice, how-to tips, and tall tales from around the world.  Founding editor, Mike Richard, absconded from a stellar website designing career to pursue what he describes as his “unhealthy passion for travel” and an interest in providing tools to help others travel smart.

We are delighted to welcome these two individuals and their respective organizations into our global family.  Visit our World Footprints Partner page to acquaint yourself with these companies and our other  partners in global citizenship.

Where will you find Tonya Fitzpatrick, exec. producer and host of World Footprints, in June?  Celebrating with a city full of women in New Orleans and YOU are invited!

Mark your calendars now, because from June 22nd through June 24th the place for women to be is in New Orleans!  A specially designed weekend created by women for women, FestiGals provides an unforgettable experience that allows participants an insider’s glimpse into one of America’s most vibrant and culturally diverse cities. For three-days and nights, FestiGals can immerse themselves in inspirational seminars and empowerment workshops with unlimited networking opportunities shared with women across the country. FestiGals is not just any getaway weekend; it’s a great party with a real purpose in the best city for celebrating, New Orleans. Net proceeds are dedicated to supporting un-or-under insured women battling cancer, because a FestiGal believes that access to healthcare is every woman’s right. (more…)
