Travel with Purpose: Letter from the Editor

Jul 1, 2016
2016

I try to make charity part of my everyday life, mostly through my personal and professional work with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. But giving back comes in many forms, and I always jump at the chance to support the initiatives of my friends and family. A beautiful spring weekend in April afforded me just such an opportunity, as my friend Natalie Aloan participated in the 10th annual National Walk for Epilepsy in Washington, D.C. The Epilepsy Foundation is near and dear to Natalie as she was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy at age 26 and had a right temporal lobectomy and hippocampectomy at 32. Today, she is both seizure-and medication-free. Another friend and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to support her as she walked in her third event, cheering her on as she crossed the finish line. Next year we plan to join her on the walk, which loops the Tidal Basin and other famous D.C. landmarks. And I hope next year the cherry blossoms stick around for our visit! To learn more about the Epilepsy Foundation and how you can help, visit epilepsy.com. We take a look at sharing of a different kind in this issue: travel sharing and the rise of companies like Airbnb. Recent reports indicate Uber and other ride-sharing services are now the preferred method of transportation for business travelers. Allison Voigts offers a closer look at the trend on page 44. We dig deeper into another group changing the landscape of travel: millennials. Turn to page 40 for Carley Thornell’s report. As always, we take a trip around the globe, this month to Warsaw, Jaipur, Miami, Cape Town, Barcelona, Chicago, Athens, the Amalfi Coast and the British Virgin Islands. July takes us on another worldwide journey with our 11th annual Global City Guidebook, featuring one-page reports on cities around the globe. Our July feature on high-roller tours offers suggestions on the most luxe ways to see the world. Happy jetting!
