Within 24 hours after graduating from college, Ken Lovering strapped
a pack to his back, pocketed his meager savings, and boarded a plane to
Europe. It was his first time stepping onto foreign soil, and certainly
not his last. Since then, he has visited most every European country,
many Caribbean islands, and plenty of Africa. Wherever he has traveled,
his native New England frugality has never been far behind.
That’s
why he started the “Travel on a Dime … Now” series: he wants everyone
to know how to travel frugally. “Lots of people see travel as a
privilege,” he says. “And it is – but it doesn’t have to come with a
high price tag. I am astounded by how many incredible deals there are
out there – and I’m glad to compile cost-saving strategies into my
simple-to-use resources.” He continues, “We can’t let the economy put
our travel on hold. Travel is a necessity – for everyone. It’s a key
element in keeping the people of the world connected.”
For
12 years, he put his travel passion to work as a Managing Marketing
Director for one of the leading value-based tour operators in the U.S.
– and helped to send well over a million Americans overseas during his
tenure there. A travel writer at heart, his work has appeared in the Boston Globe, the Boston Phoenix, and the Dallas Morning News; he authored a monthly column for Spokane’s Stonewall New Northwest.
His travel writing has won second prize in the annual contest sponsored
by the 2008 “Book Passage” Travel Writers & Photographers
Conference, and the 2009 Silver Prize in the annual Solas Awards
competition, sponsored by Travelers’ Tales publishers. He teaches
travel writing at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Ken Lovering
"Travel reminds us of all there is to learn and understand. There is no limit to what travel may teach us, what experience may show us, what the world may reveal to us. We realize that we only think we know. But we don't."
-- Steve Zikman, The Power of Travel
Getting Started With Ken Lovering
There’s no doubt about it: These are tough times for travel lovers. But
I don’t think it does anyone any good to avoid travel because of a
struggling economy. After all, without travel, enriching cultural
exchanges would come to a complete standstill. Our lives would be less
meaningful, our world less harmonious.
Besides, who among us travel lovers wants to put our travel dreams on hold? Not me. And certainly not you. I want to see people get out and explore the world despite the rough economy … and even to spite the rough economy!
So
I asked myself, “As travelers, how can we boycott this recession? How
can we see the world on our own terms and continue to make our travel
dreams a reality?”
The answers are in my new e-book and e-reports, one-of-a-kind resources that collect everything I’ve learned during more than 12 years in the travel business.
If you want to see the world now … if you want to turn your back on the
recession and learn new, even innovative ways to travel on a dime,
start packing your bags. But first, click on the products above or visit http://www.travelonadimenow.com.
