What is your favorite travel magazine?
Thanks to all who helped me help my 20 year old daughter plan her back-packing trip through Europe. Of course she planned, I purchased (that's where you came in) She has loved every minute of it, and has found none of the anti-Americanism that has been talked about in the states. She has felt safe - and all of you who told me she would be fine were right. In my heart I knew she would (otherwise I would not have let her go), but I needed to hear that from others.
She is a journalism major and now has decided she wants to work for a travel magazine. As a mother who loves to travel I wish her well.
What are your favorite magazines dealing with travel? I'd like to steer her in the right direction although I am sure her profs will know plenty. Any suggesstions? Area does not matter!

If you can find it in the US, check out Outpost magazine. The online version is at http://www.outpostmagazine.com/
It's published in Canada. In their own words, the editors indicate that they have tried to take a "more adventurous and realistic look at the world and how people travel through it", noting the good, the bad, the ugly, often with an irreverent viewpoint. While the magazine suits anyone with an adventurous spirit, it's a great resource for travellers on a budget (it has a special section each month on hostelling), those concerned about the ecological impact of tourism, those who want to make a contribution to the communities where they travel, etc. Oh, and it has great photos and articles, too.

I appreciate your wanting to help her and being excited about this, but she has to do this herself. Reading travel magazines isn't difficult, and they are easy to buy and find in libraries. If she doesn't have the initiative to be reading them on her own, she has no chance in getting ahead in that field. She shouldn't be limiting herself to only reading magazines you tell her to -- she should be reading and perusing all of them so she can see the differences, style, types of articles, good vs. bad ideas, etc.
