Budget Travel Giveaway

A few years ago my Mother-in-law got me a gift subscription to Budget Travel magazine. I love it! Each issue is full of great travel tips, stories that make me want to start packing my bags, they always have a road trip complete with route and unique stops along the way which I really appreciate because I love a good road trip. There is almost nothing better than throwing your bag in the car and hitting the open road. This issue has some great road trips and tips specifically for road trips and tons of other stuff.
Another thing I like about Budget Travel is they don't pay anyone to go out on assignment. In other words they don't set up free hotel room stays or pay authors a bunch of money to go to Africa to write a story about being on safari. That way the opinions expressed are generally more honest and unbiased rather than bought. Authors do get paid when they get published in the magazine they just aren't paid before.

Now I want to share all that I love about Budget Travel magazine with one of you. I am going to give away this month's issue (June 2009) to one lucky winner.
