It's a very exciting day here at Matador. We have just acquired BraveNewTraveler.com, which I think is the best travel blog on the Web. BNT will join TheTravelersNotebook.com as the foundation for our soon-to-launch blog network. Both of the outstanding editors at BNT, Ian MacKenzie and Tim Patterson, will be joining the Matador team as we expand the editorial content, hire more writers and launch the Matador Network.

If you're a writer, please make sure to check the Bounty Board over the next few weeks, as we'll be posting dozens of new, paid assignments. If you have an idea for an article, please submit it to David Miller (david [AT] matadortravel [dot] com). If you'd like to see an article posted on one of our sites, please let us know and we'll find someone cool and talented, to write it.

We hope you're all as excited about the next year as we are. Stay tuned...

The Matador Team
