Tim and Ian have the whole world in their hands.

For the next few months, things will be a little different around BNT.

Co-editor (and all around nice guy) Tim Patterson will be on the road, leading a tour with the youth group Where There Be Dragons.

Fortunately for him, he’ll be deep in the nether regions of Cambodia, and unlikely to have access to reliable WIFI. So during the journey, Tim will be temporary relinquishing his editorial duties for BNT, leaving it up to me to hold down the metaphorical ship.

Don’t worry, dear readers. I edited the magazine alone during the first 12 months, and I can certainly do it again. But this time, I’ll have the support of the rest of the Matador Network team: talented editors, writers, and genuine individuals.

So as Tim waits for his flight to take him away, I want to wish him an excellent trip! And there’ll be plenty of work for him…when he returns.

Feel like giving Tim some love? Share your best wishes in the comments!

    Hey, Tim,
    Live, love (but not TOO much), and learn in Cambodia. Will we see any of your writing on the web whilst you’re gone?
    Peace,
    Laura

    Hey Tim,
    This sounds like an amazing opportunity. I see you’ll be traveling by boat some of the time. Perhaps you’ll get a chance to go fishing? I hope we’ll meet up some time in Northern California.
    Safe travels, Nancy Brown

    *sigh* No more uncomfortable-yet-strangely-entertaining articles about Hostel Sex, weird travel dreams or anti-consumerist rants…at least for now!

    Have fun and looking forward to reading unusual stories about Cambodian jungle leeches and sneaky ways to recycle underwear! Kidding!
