This spring we received 101 proposals from aspiring travel writers seeking to road trip North America this summer on a “Roads Scholarship”. It was tough to choose just one winner, so we chose five.

To see who’s been chosen, view their proposals and register to follow their adventures, visit Roads Scholarship at http://www.digitalvagabonding.com/road-scholarship. This years scholarships are being co-sponsored by the outstanding travel community – Matador Travel. Special thanks to Matador and their talented team for helping us promote this scholarship.

Given the talent and vision of these Roads Scholars, I expect they will take us all on an amazing journey.

Whether you travel or not, be well and live large.

Thank you for sharing the news about the upcoming Digital Vagabonding “Roads Scholarship”. Your notice inspired several excellent proposals from some very interesting vagabonds. Some of them were so well traveled they made me feel like a couch potato by comparison.

If anyone would like to view their Roads Scholarship travel proposals or comment on them, visit http://www.digitalvagabonding.com/road-scholarship

We will be accepting proposals until May 8th, 2009 when the winner will be chosen. The winner will then road trip North America this summer and share their journey on Matador and DigitalVagabonding.com

Their Summer Road Trip will officially end at the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada Desert the first week of September.

I encourage fellow vagabonds to follow the Roads Scholar’s journey and meet them in person at the Burning Man Festival.

Ciao for now, Pat the Digital Vagabond
