listentoafrica© 2009 Listen to Africa
I’m currently working on some exciting videos and long articles, more on which soon. In the meantime, here’s some smaller, but equally exciting thingies I’ve done:

• I chose Listen to Africa as the Guardian’s Travel Blog of the Month. It is a truly fantastic blog, involving two Brits’ journey across Africa by bicycle, recording audio, taking images, and tweeting as they go. The image above is from their Maghreb in Monochrome gallery. See my other Blog of the Month picks here.

• I wrote a piece about the four obscure new entrants in this year’s Champions Leage for the New York Times Goal blog, which was also printed in the Sunday sports section last week.

• I did a little piece for the Guardian on the Vendys – New York’s annual street food competition.

    Idea for an article:
    Just surfing and ran across your blog. We have an architecturally important mid-century modern apartment hotel on the Intracoastal Waterway by the beach in Fort Lauderdale. It is an extraordinary property but with only 11 units we have to try to do some creative marketing. Would offering to comp some travel writers in hopes of getting some press mention be a good idea? Haven’t done this before so don’t know that you will respond to me. Please visit my website if you have any interest and get back to me. If you know of any other travel writers headed for Fort Lauderdale, I assure you they wouldn’t be disappointed.
    Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    Hello Benjy, Simon said you and Becky are in NY, how marvellous! Nice blog! Oman’s ok, the weather is tolerable again after a 50 degree summer, although I can sense a move back to India brewing.
