How did you first hear about Matador?
My good friend, Eva Holland, started writing for Matador a few years ago. We were living in the same city then and would often edit each other’s writing. I started following her Matador blog and soon joined myself. I liked the community instantly. I was back in Canada after a long stretch of living and travelling abroad. I had witnessed a lot of backpacker one-upmanship in Southeast Asia.
