Get Out of Town - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Someone famously said that travel is the only thing you buy that
makes you richer. While travel can be very expensive, no one can
deny that getting out and exploring new lands enhances the human
experience and does, indeed, enrich the soul. It can also enrich
those who make a living in the travel industry. The travel industry
has changed a lot over the last 20 years, as the Internet has
diminished the need for traditional travel agents. But the digital
economy has also opened up all sorts of new opportunities for the
DIY traveler who blogs, and shares advice with fellow travelers.
Case in point Astrid Clements. Astrid first set out on her own to
see the world at the age of 19, when she traveled solo to Germany.
In the years since, her adventures have brought her around the
globe, to five continents and countless countries. In 2015, Astrid
decided to turn her passion into a profession with the launch of
Astrid Solo Travel Advisor. It s a web base business that offers
advice on everything a solo traveler needs to know through blogs,
essays, pictures, maps, restaurant reviews, hotel recommendations,
and tips on everything from changing currency to haggling with
merchants in the market at Marrakesh. While Astrid is forging new
ground as a travel blogger, Terri Howell carries the banner for
what she describes as doing business the "old timey" way. Terri is
a customer driven, hands on travel agent specializing in Cruises
through her company, Dream Cruises. Don t look for a link to click
