Mindy Sink has lived in Denver off and on since graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She tried living elsewhere, but Denver always fit just right. For over ten years Mindy has written about Denver and the greater Rocky Mountain region, and is an expert on the area. We asked her to share some insider tips and recommendations. Check out the Q&A here.

Justin Marler, author of Moon Austin, San Antonio & the Hill Country recently spoke with Moon about the best that these cities have to offer. Check out his great Q&A, here.

Examiner.com recently did a roundup of travel publisher websites, and they had some nice things to say about moon.com. Check it out, here.

• Moon.com: This sleek, user-friendly site has great maps available for download, an inspiring "activities" section and unique destination advice. I particularly enjoy the site's blogs. They're written by Moon Guide authors, and they are a great way to get extra insight from an expert in quick bits and pieces. They cover newsworthy and noteworthy items that travelers can use in a practical way—or just take as food for thought. You can subscribe to your favorites via an RSS feed; I've done so for my next destination and it's been fun getting the updates from the author every so often.

Luke Waterson, author of Moon Scotland, recently had a conversation with John Bordsen, The Charlotte Observer Travel Editor. Click the link to see a great discussion.

We're pleased to share with our friends and fans that on January 11th, the Chicago Tribune reviewed Moon Living Abroad in Canada. Here's the review:

"It seems that quite a few Americans consider Canada the 51st state. Author Carolyn B Heller aims to put that idea to rest. Although the United States and Canada have much in common, Heller is quick to point out that Canada has its own distinctive culture with its own customs languages and idiosyncrasies. Canada has slightly more than 33 million people but nearly three quarters of them live within 100 miles of the U S border. She discusses housing considerations, the Canadian health system, employment, and finance, while offering suggestions on prime living locations. She contrasts the American melting pot with the Canadian multiculturalism, where various ethnic groups live side by side in a mostly multi ethnic harmony. This attitude often can lead to unusual and quite funny ethnic combinations. To cite lust one example, Heller profiles an annual dinner and performance event in Vancouver—dubbed Gung Haggis Fat Choy—that celebrates the city's Chinese and Scottish heritages and where people gather for a Chinese-style banquet to savor such delicacies as haggis won tons. Only in Canada. Others in the series include Living Abroad In New Zealand, Living Abroad in Australia, Living Abroad in Japan, and Living Abroad in Italy."

We hope all of you will check out the new moon.com. The new site features fresh destination content, author blogs, a downloadable map library, and more. We hope you enjoy the new site, and will use it to help plan your next trip!
