March E-Zine
Welcome to the St Christophers E-zine
Editor's Note - March 2010
This month I present you lucky backpackers with a swift and simple guide to getting through airport security in a jiffy without losing your cool, or your trousers, when the guards order you to surrender those belts.
Better yet the March Travel E-zine contains an exclusive preview of the Rough Guide to Sex (no you didn’t misread that – they’ve diversified) and a free chunk of the most elaborate conspiracy theories ever recorded!
The event guides are, as ever, jam packed with the best concerts, exhibitions and tomfoolery across Europe, and there’s a new column all the way from Prague in honour of new hostel Mosaic House, opening out there in June 2010.
Interview Time is also rather special this month because I had the chance to catch up with travel writer extraordinaire Sarah Lee, to uncover some top tips for all the aspiring travel writers in the crowd. Enjoy the read and I’ll be seeing you in April.
