A magazine for those with lots of money I dropped my subscription to National Geographic Traveler after two years. The only really good thing about the magazine was the photography of the places covered--what you would expect from a National Geographic magazine. The articles and reviews in the magazines were generally useless for me as a middle-class traveler. I travel quite a bit overseas, but cannot afford most of the places NG Traveler covers. If you can afford the $300-$500 rooms at the places NG Traveler recommends, then subscribe. But if you are the average traveler on a budget, skip this magazine.
Not up to par with other NG magazines NG Traveler isn't what I expected it to be. It has few lengthy, in-depth articles and many, many short paragraph snippets that give you no sense of the place it describes. Or they are the intimate thoughts of a traveler to a singular small place...and have no bearing on any trip you would take. It doesn't inspire one to travel or give many insights into traveling. In fact, I'm having trouble writing this review because I can't remember any specifics of the six issues since I started getting the magazine. I won't be renewing my subscription.
8 months later and I still haven't received it What's the point of ordering a magazing through Amazon if you never receive it? I've given up, it's been 8 months. I won't order from Amazon again!
Great Magazine I like this magazine; beautiful photography, interesting stories. Ordered for my dad, he has not received his first copy yet.
great gift! perfect for that someone who has everything! national geographic and travel are the perfect combination to cover the world right!
