Comments from Newsletter on Women’s Travel

Here is the BNA newsie from today and a reply I received…

“Happy Leap Year!

Over five years ago, Chris and I published our Code of Conduct on BootsnAll. The orginal version was written by a campfire somewhere in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, our gear and food hoisted into a tree to discourage bears from visiting. This perhaps explains why the Code was a ‘blokey’ thing, dominated by “male undertones” of how to travel and have fun.

Having said that, we got lots of feedback from women who actually liked it and signed up for a BootsnAll membership. In fact, to this day, there are more female than male BnA members.

Now that Court has joined BootsnAll, we figured we might actually be able to provide some useful info for women regarding travel. I tried to write up the section once, but what do I know about make-up and hair products, dealing with amorous blokes, and periods on the road?

So enjoy the new section and thank Chris for not letting us publish Sean’s Women’s Travel Section on BootsnAll.

Happy Travels,

Sean”
