Lonely Planet Book Review: France’s Best Trips
by Oliver Berry, Nicola Williams, and others

“You don’t have to be a beachcomber to like Galveston,” I told my sister recently.  We were talking about our plans for summer vacation. I had said I was visiting Galveston Island. She did not like going to the beach, she had retorted.

“The beach is way too hot for me. Even when I use a sunscreen and take an umbrella, I burn while shooing away the birds,” she said. Her reaction hit a nerve with me. Suddenly, I found myself sounding as if I represented the Galveston Chamber of Commerce.

If there's one thing we're passionate about, it is this planet - and the people, cultures, animals, languages, books, food, amazing things on it. We are strong proponents of slow travel, of deep cultural immersion, of teaching and learning from places and others around us. For it is this glory (n., resplendent beauty or magnificence) - the glory of place, of difference, of people, of being diverse and at the same time, together - that inspires us.
