Having travelled for most of his life, Michel set up TravelNotes.org to help other travellers and virtual tourists discover more about the world we live in.
How It Started?
As a freelance photo-journalist, Michel had numerous travel articles and photographs published and syndicated around the world in traditional media and moved into the Internet medium; after his second visit to China and Vietnam, back in 1996.
This was the time of Geocites and Michel, known as magun, created a Network of Travellers; bringing travellers from various newsgroups together, to link their websites through a number of travel-related webrings and banner exchanges.
Those were the days. But things started to move fast.
TravelNotes.org was founded in 1997, to ambitiously cover every country in the world; and Travel-Write.com soon followed, to expand on the travel articles section at Travel Notes.
Michel has now visited some 120 countries, and published a travel book - Nomadic Gatherings.
With no corporate budget, it's mostly Michel's love of travel, meeting new people and spending long hours at a computer screen that keeps our travel websites going.
Our Travel Sponsors do help greatly and we try to give them the exposure they deserve.
