Jumping off the Jaws bridge in Martha's Vineyard

Just in time for the East Coast summer travel push, we bring you Matador’s expert on a classic seaside destination: Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

If you’re planning a visit to the Vineyard this summer, Matador member Travellohr can give you the lowdown on the local scene. As she says:

I’m there every year, riding my bike from town to town, hanging out on the many beaches, and getting into the island’s lifestyle.

Here’s a little more on this week’s featured expert:

About me: A trip to Israel led me – finally!!! – to the realization of what I want to do with my life – write about my travels. This, happily, requires me to travel more than I used to. I was blessed to start getting published soon after I began writing. And I’ve yet to explore most of the world.

Why I travel: I am acutely aware that I live in just one small speck of our huge world. If I’m not exploring it, I’m wasting it.

Favorite places I’ve been: Israel; Germany; Venice, Italy; Wales; London, England

Travellohr also started an intense discussion on the Matador community blog pages by asking, Is Domestic Travel “Real” Travel? – What do you think?

    I’d be hard-pressed to jump off that bridge (count me among those scarred for life by Jaws), but I’d love to visit the Vineyard someday.

    I’ve jumped off that bridge with my daughters (they had no fear and I had to protect my pride !). The Vineyard is a great place to visit.
