Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I have posted/recommended the International Travel News site here from time to time. ITN is unique because almost all of the articles are written by subscribers, who pull no punches describing their experiences with places and attractions. ITN published an excellent travel insurance series written by Wayne Wirtanen. I also wrote a number of feature articles and short pieces about DW and my travels.
I got a note from David Tykol, the editor, on Wednesday. He thanked me for my contributions and delivered the bad news. They have been running at a loss through the COVID period and, after 553 consecutive issues, just couldn't hang on any longer.
Here is the silver lining, though:

Here is the silver lining, though:
" ... an archived and searchable copy of the website will continue to be available at the current web address, www.intltravelnews.com — a library of our subscribers' articles and letters. The archived site will be available at no cost [paywall removed!] and will remain accessible through at least 2024."
So IMO this should be a fist-stop for anyone considering international travel or international cruising. If you haven't checked out intltravelnews.com I encourage you to take a look. (as of today, the paywall seems to still be there, but it will be coming down. In the mean time, lots of material is not behind the wall anyway.)
