My partner Paul stumbled upon Matador one day quite by accident. He told me he had discovered something that might interest me. Boy was he right!!! It is like a community & i read the bliogs & writings mostly every day & it is as if the people are best friends not just names on a screen. i have learnt so much about the world from all here. I have been inspired too. Thank God for Matador & thanks for creating Matador too.

Thanks, Dave. Some days I think “I’d love to wake up and go to a Matador office with all these amazing colleagues.” But that’s anti-Matador, maybe. I’m pretty content to build this community online and across continents, drawing every day on the energy from these people all around the world!

Always great to hear the back story to a site that has grown so much. I especially enjoy the fact that there appears to be no central office – you’ve got a virtual community that stretches around the world. It’s amazing actually.

Sweet roundup, and reminder, Julie. It’s really important to sit back and look at things from the “outside” every once in while.

Matador was the first travel writing community I came across too. And I was hooked. It’s the reason I decided to become a travel writer, and MatadorU taught me all that I needed to learn. Hats off to the world’s best travel community I’m so glad to be a part of it.
