Thoughts, advice and travel news from around the world by a seasoned frequent flyer.

]]> The folks at Coudal Partners are a curious, creative and crafty crew. They not only curate the marvelous MOOM– the Museum of On-Line Museums – they organize lots of other intriguing projects.

Such as? The Field-Tested Books project, which is specially-designed for travelers.

Recognizing that “reading a certain book in a certain place uniquely affects a person’s experience with both,” the Coudal characters invite you to send along a 300-500 word “review.” They’re not looking for straight book reviews, but rather descriptive reviews of experiences.

This year’s “edition,” as they call it, kicks off in a few weeks. To get an idea of what they’re talking about, check out the reviews from 2006.
