Testimonials
This must be one of my favourite articles ever. I love it. It really took me back to the Metropolitan - such a special place.
- Viara Challier, Account Director for Kentucky UK, Ireland and Europe (KentuckyTravel.co.uk) , referring to my piece BB King Stayed Here for my Perceptive Travel blog.
Tremendous story Mike! Fantastic lead and closing. As a PR person, I love you! As a travel writer, I hate you! Damn! I wish I could write leads like that. This article is about as good as it gets! We'll promote it and get you (and us!) thousands of views.

You're fast becoming my favourite freelance!
