In this month’s E-zine you lucky travellers are treated to a free book extract, taken from Historical Tweets by Alan Beard and Alec McNayr. This top title is a laugh a second and guaranteed to spice up your travels with a little comedy.

The Top 10 Travel Tips serve up the best ski spots for all budgets in Europe and in the travel competitions this month you have the chance to win beds for you and a friend in Amsterdam, along with many other fantastic prizes.
Until the festive month of December, the travel writing team and I wish you adieu.
