Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I posted information about The Travelzine in the discussion of the demise of International Travel News. Upon reflection, I think The Travelzine deserves a discussion topic of its own. It is a hidden jewel of travel information, IMHO.
I have enjoyed being a member of The Travelzine for years and have received a number of great ideas and tips from its members. It has a spirit that reminds me of ITN in that the members contribute most of the best information
The Travelzine is an email group made up some seasoned travelers who discuss where they have been, and help others seek out good travel experiences. Like this FIRE group it is overwhelmingly made up of thoughtful and polite people. As far as I can see it has no commercial interest whatsoever. They aren't trying sell you anything. There is no cost to join the email group though one can donate to help out.
Here is an example of the type of advice the members offer:

I highly recommend it. It's not a busy group that will flood your mailbox with silly emails. Most of the people who contribute to it are quite thoughtful in my opinion.My daughter and I spent a wonderful week in an apartment in Nice at the beginning of February.
It was a hassle getting all the documentation about Covid, but worth it. The weather was perfect, sunny everyday and in high 50.
We walked everywhere, averaging 11,000 steps a day. Our apartment was only 3 blocks from the Old Town. We visited the flower market, made perfume, visited a museum which contained old musical instruments, and enjoyed sitting on the beach at a restaurant. We took the train to Menton and Antibes. Took the bus to Eze. Took an evening tour of Monte Carlo and gambled at the casino. Had brunch at Rothschild mansion.
