About FrugalTraveler.Blogs.NYTimes.com
Frugal Traveler is a blog published in the Travel section in The New York Times. The Frugal Traveler blog was written by Matt Gross for about six years, until Seth Kugel took over in 2010. Kugel, like Gross before him, provides tips and advice on budget travel to destinations all over the world.
"Seeing the World on a Budget"
"Seeing the World on a Budget" is the slogan of the Frugal Traveler's blog. The blog offers advice on enjoyable travel in any part of the world - from Central America to Southeast Asia, from North America to the Caribbean - even if you don't have deep pockets.
Both former Frugal Traveler Matt Gross and new Frugal Traveler Seth Kugel realize that "frugality" means different things to different people. Individual travelers have widely different tastes and preferences, so it's the blog covers a range of budget options, from reasonable to flat-out cheap. The blog stresses that whatever you're doing - skiing, choosing a hotel or visiting museums - the important thing is to keep an open mind, seek interesting alternatives and practice patience. If you do that, every trip you take will be frugal and enjoyable.
