Tony Tedeschi
“Let me understand this,” she said with a quizzical look on her face, “you write term papers for a living?” Tony Tedeschi, admits that the analysis of his life’s work by his youngest daughter had given him pause. “But,” he replied, “look at the places I get to visit.” Tedeschi does plead guilty to an almost insatiable sense of wonder that has taken him to places far and wide, in many cases simply because he hadn’t been there yet. As a result of these explorations, he has contributed to newspapers across the breadth of the U.S. from The New York Times and the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times and San Diego Union-Tribune. He has had articles published in dozens of magazines and for 13 years wrote all the special travel sections for Audubon magazine. His photography has appeared in such publications as The Atlantic Monthly, American Way, Brides and Travel & Leisure. He was the founding editor of naturaltraveler.com. Tedeschi is author, co-author or a major contributor to more than a dozen books, including The Whitford Way, A Story of Corporate Chemistry in the Real World, published by Amazon and a novel, Unfinished Business, available through online booksellers.
Bill Warelis
When Bill Warelis was still a teenager he took off to London alone to work, travel Europe and find himself. He didn’t work much and the only thing he found was that he loved seeing new places. He returned to Canada, married a wonderful woman who shared his passions, and spent his career in communications working with a variety of travel-related clients and taking vacations as frequently as possible. It was only recently, almost 35 years after his first trip, that Bill realized there are people other than his family and friends who might be interested in his travel-related thoughts and experiences.
Ethical Considerations
The cost of most of the travel (including transportation, hotels, meals, etc.) to develop articles for NeverStopTraveling, including our blog and other related content, is personally funded. We are never compensated to provide opinions or ratings.
At times, however, we do participate in media or familiarization trips sponsored by destinations or other travel entities, in which transportation, accommodations, meals and other travel-related services may be provided. Participation in such trips never influences NeverStopTraveling’s content — everything you read is the personal opinion of its editors and writers, of sources we trust or of readers who choose to make online comments.
We tell you the truth about our experiences in those places we visit – whether we’re traveling solo, with our family or a group – relating both the good and the bad, and if we believe something is inappropriate for our readers, it will not appear on this site. Companies or their representatives who invite us on media or familiarization trips are advised of this in advance.
Finally, although we make every possible effort to link only to sites that provide the most useful information to our readers, we can not be responsible for any content that appears on those sites.
