At DeepTravelers we believe that travel allows us to discover new places and people and, in turn, these people and places touch us, they deepen us, they bring us more fully alive and make us, ultimately, more human.

You will find, in the TravelWriter's blog, a compelling array of travel tales that prove the DeepTravelers philosophy over and over again.

We extend our thanks to everyone who is participating in this contest-- both to our writers and our readers.

We encourage you to take plenty of time to experience these stories. In fact, we are considering expanding our polling to exactly 1 week (we had originally planned 4 days)to allow ample time to enjoy and experience these tales.

We don't know how but somehow you must choose your favorite and cast your vote.

Feel free to provide comments if you like or use the Travel Extravaganza forum for discussion.

You can post questions here if you like in the comments.

Thanks from all of us at DeepTravelers.
