The Journal.
You
will love the Affordable Travel Club if you want to travel in a different
and delightful way. If you are missing the personal touch in your
travels and want to feel like a visiting friend, rather than a patron in
a hotel, then you'll love the Affordable Travel Club.
"My
mature travel tastes are for places as yet uninundated by commercial tourism.
Ultimately, the experienced traveller concludes that people are the highlight
of any vacation trip. With maturity, with the personal humility that
comes with years, I now want to know what other inhabitants of this planet
are thinking, and I value the chance to meet them as a supreme travel goal."

The
Wall Street Journal published a front page article in its Weekend
Journal declaring that the newest trend in traveler accommodations is also
the oldest: Staying in someone else's house. The Journal called it
a "status symbol" to do so. "The new destination of choice for many
travelers isn't some crowded beach resort or an impersonal rental.
Rather, it's the downstairs den, former kids' bedroom--or in the most upscale
cases, the fully appointed guest house--of a friend".
