One Year at Global Traveler

by Erich Martin

Jun 13, 2019

Next week will mark my first year work anniversary at FX Express Publications, Inc. The year has gone quickly, and when I look back, it really feels like it was pretty recently I came in for my first interview and began to meet my future co-workers and supervisors.

Now more than a year ago, those first interviews represented the first step toward my role as assistant editor.

In the 12 months that passed since starting, I have learned a lot about the company and my co-workers. I went on my first trip, a winter trip to Montréal, which I blogged about; I attended my first media lunch in Philadelphia; and attended my first Wine on the Wings survey and afterparty.

Since I started, I have written more than 180 articles for Trazee Travel, more than 120 articles for globaltravelerusa.com and nearly 70 articles for whereverfamily.com. I have had the opportunity to learn about destinations that were never on my radar, whether through discussing them with co-workers, researching or traveling there myself.

Since I started on June 18, 2018, my favorite travel memory is definitely my trip to Montréal, where I attended a Montréal Canadiens hockey game at the Bell Centre, went skiing for the first time and snowshoed down a mountain. Flying business class for the first time was something else I was able to do since starting this position.

These past 12 months helped me to grow as a writer and a person, and I hope to continue that trend over the next 12 months, too.

“MSC World Europa” Review

A ship within a ship. That’s how I’d describe my stay in the Yacht Club on MSC World Europa. This private enclave — a luxury offering becoming more sought-after on cruise lines — includes amenities available only to passengers in this floating oasis. And, as I learned during my voyage, the Yacht Club lends a feeling of exclusivity to the onboard experience.
