Vagabondish Wins 2008 Editors’ Award for Online Excellence

Much to our pleasant surprise, that great bastion of all things hip, relevant and newsworthy – yes, I’m speaking of course of The Morning News – has tipped their cap this year to Vagabondish as their “Favorite Pop Travel Magazine”:

You know when you want that New York Times travel section voice—all light and bouncy, but without all the Condé Nast Traveler adverbs—but with a bit more authenticity, a bit more reliability when it comes to picking clubs in Bogota? We turn to Vagabondish and Monocle, depending on the mood. Will this trip be more backpacker-bobo, more couchsurfing and beer? Or are we taking in a design exhibit while reading the Journal, post-espresso? Either way, we’re covered, either with Vagabondish’s insightful local-perspective stories, or Monocle’s downloadable 25/25 city guides.

Technically, yes, it’s a tie and we’re a bit loathe to pat ourselves on the back. But can we bask in the warm, virtual limelight for just a minute or two? I mean, sneezing panda had her fifteen seconds of fame.

It’s perhaps cliché – but absolutely true – to say that we wouldn’t still be here without the fantastic support of our loyal readers, contributors, authors and advertisers.

A sincere thank you to you all for making the past year here so much damn fun!

Cheers,
-Mike Richard, Editor
