Travel Webzine on Latin America

In this issue of TAzine, we cover a selection of travel, study, work, volunteer, internship, and other possibilities in Latin America, which are part of our core mission as an educational travel resource, in the broadest sense. Latin America as a continent offers many options, some of which we explore in this issue (with some more articles to be added in the coming days) as we have in previous webzines and in articles and reports over the years.

We wish to welcome Amy E. Robertson, who has written a variety of books for Moon and other renowned publications as a new paid columnist called the "Connected Traveler." Amy has had an incredibly diverse background from a young age, when she started volunteering in Latin America. In her feature piece, she discusses some of the many options upon which her book and ebook elaborate, and also writes her first column on How to Connect Locally while Traveling Internationally
Prolific expat and author Tim Leffel writes on Why, How, and Where to Move to Mexico as well as on How to Get a Legal Non-working Visa in Mexico.
Lies Ouwerkerk writes and takes vivid photos on her cultural immersion experience at the network of Bed and Breakfasts (casas) in Cuba.
Wandering Educator columnist Dr. Jesse Voights writes a brilliant piece on Educating Your 5 Senses Through Travel.
Author and columnist on How to Enoy the World, Robert Reid, writes a serious but ironic piece he calls How to Dislike a Destination.
John Clites, our ESL columnist, helps explain the requirements and obscure terms involved in educating yourself and finding a job teaching English abroad.
We have further contributions from other fine columnists in this issue, which we think will prove to be extremely valuable to our readers.

In addition, we publish two of the top winners of the 2014 Narrative Travel Writing Contest which relate to Latin America, excellent overviews on travel in Central and Latin American on a Budget, How to Manage your Money Safely in Latin America, and Volunteering with and without the WWOOF organization. More articles are to come in the coming days from some excellent freelance contributors as well-written material just keeps pouring in about the region. Thank you!.

Please browse TAzine and let us know what you would like to see, and where you would like to see us expand our coverage. Since 1977, we have been all about ideas, not comprehensive guidebook-like information. We hope that we will inspire you to take a trip, volunteer, study, work, or live in places you may never have considered.

TAzine is a monthly Webzine which continues the 30-year tradition started by Transitions Abroad magazine. TAzine features many of the same columnists who wrote for the magazine, a growing group of new columnists, while featuring talented freelance writers who wish to share their experiences and expertise within the context of our innovative alternative coverage of work, study, travel, and living abroad.

Founded in 1977 by Dr. Clayton Allen Hubbs, Transitions Abroad magazine was the only print publication dedicated to work, study, living, volunteering, and immersion travel abroad. Its purpose — in print and now as a Webzine — is the dissemination of practical information leading to a greater understanding of other cultures through direct participation in the daily life of the host community.

As always, while your preferred form of enjoyment is often, and should be, a primary motivation,, we urge all travelers to follow the "golden rule" when traveling in accordance with our editorial since 1977. Please try to ensure that your money remains in the local community and respect those who are hosting you in their "home" country.
