About Us
Perceptive Travel is a publication that is home to
interesting stories from some of the best travel writers on the planet.
When a new issue comes out, you can be assured that it will be filled
with unique perspectives from around the globe, written
by authors who see beyond the surface. Destinations, books,
and music will be chosen on the whim of the writer, not selected based
on what tourism board, publishing company, or hotel chain is
spending the most on advertising.
Perceptive Travel is put out by a rag-tag group of three fitting this in when time permits. No corporate parent is involved and no deep-pocketed venture capitalists are lining up to help the organization "leverage its synergies." As a result, you won't have to put up with pop-up ads, weekly e-mail pitches, or other annoyances. (Though if you want to click on the banners or text ads that interest you to keep the hosting bill paid, three people will silently bow down in gratitude.)
The editor spearheading this project is Tim Leffel, author of The World's Cheapest Destinations, Hip-Hop Inc., and Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune. He has contributed to dozens of magazines and newspapers over a 15-year period and is a regular columnist for Transitions Abroad. You can see his award-winning travel blog here.
Jay Phillips designed the site (and fronts a great rock band Apollo Up). Jaime Matthews serves as associate editor.
