September E-Zine
Welcome to the St Christophers E-zine
Editor's Note - September 2008
The September E-zine sees in the Autumn with a new look and some great new articles. Firstly there are fresh forecasts from the travel writing team - all about the fun things coming up in Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Paris, London, Newquay and Berlin.
The Theatre Guide is back by popular demand with previews of the top shows lined up for September in London, the Top 10 Travel Tips highlight the best festivals going on around the world before October hits and the Top Five Reads get stuck into some literary offerings - from Salman Rushdie and friends.
Beauty Terrorist serves up some top treats for the ladies with an exciting insight into the world of facials, there's advice from the specialists about the best travel insurance for you, Ethical Travel delivers a lesson in environmentalism, Backpacker Bites looks into nutrition on the open road and to top it all off, I give you a tasty little interview with the Rodney Harrex - who heads up all things fun at Visit Australia!
Also make sure you check out the prizes up for grabs in our monthly travel writing, trivia and photography competitions. October's line up is already set to top this lot so buckle up, get reading and tell your friends.
