"Far from narrow minded, each Moon travel guide gives itinerary options for a variety of travelers' budgets--from frugal to lavish. They make books catering to those who love the outdoors, those who have limited time, those staying exclusively in cities and those who' ve fully committed to living abroad. In all, they have hundreds of titles, ranging Bermuda to Budapest, that' ll teach you to embrace a new culture. "--Gear Patrol, "The Best Travel Guidebooks for Every Journey" "Moon guides are perfect for the relaxed road tripper or outdoor explorer. "--No Small Plan "Moon handbooks are always a pleasure to read. The writing is crisp, the research impressive, and the recommendations practical and down to earth. "--Chicago Tribune "Moon handbooks are known for cannily combining logistical information with cultural background of a country or state. "--Los Angeles Times "Moon handbooks have become known as well-written and exceptionally informative guides. "--The New York Times "The books are more easily readable than other guides. The main attractions are also marked with a special icon and sidebars and boxes highlight special information, making the Moon handbooks one of the most user-friendly guides in terms of visual appeal and organization. . . the quality is uniformly excellent. "--Transitions Abroad
Jenna Blough grew up on the edge of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, where she was allowed to run wild, instilling a love of the outdoors early on. After her parents dragged her and her sister on a cross-country road trip of epic proportions, she developed an equal appreciation for Wild West roadside attractions, historic sites, and wilderness. Jenna eventually found the California desert to be her geographic soul mate. She loves Palm Springs for its poolside lounging and cocktails, and Joshua Tree for its fantastic hiking and otherworldly landscape. Jenna received an undergraduate degree in cultural anthropology, an MA in English literature, and an MFA in writing. She is also the author of Moon Death Valley National Park. Jenna resides in Los Angeles with her husband Ryan Jones. Visit her blog at whentheroadends. com.
