Comet Newsletter – The Language Edition
Posted at 03:25PM Nov 25, 2007 by CarolB
Okay, hands up who thinks the only foreign phrase you need on the road is 'voulez-vous coucher avec moi'? Then we need to talk. And that's what the latest issue of Comet is all about. The world of language and communication. It can be as simple as a whistle or as complex as a 56,000 character alphabet.
Of course no Comet is complete without our Thorn Tree highlights. There's plenty of chatter about language and communication in the Speaking in Tongues branch.
If you haven't already, check out the latest edition of Comet.

Chow down on the foodie edition of Comet here.

Comet Newsletter highlights travelling light and helping out
Posted at 05:22PM Aug 14, 2007 by CarolB
We polled over 24,500 people worldwide in our annual Travellers' Pulse survey and the numbers show travellers want to get sustainable - 84% of respondents said they would consider offsetting their carbon emissions in the future, and 79% of respondents said they would consider volunteering in the future. The future is now, my friends!
The August edition of Comet zeroes in on the eco tourism, sustainable travel and volunteering theme. Once again, community members have outdone themselves with their contributions. From "If you could nominate any living person as an 'environmental hero' who would it be and why?" questions on Thorn Tree forum to "Doing Good On Vacation in a Developing Country" Bluelists.
Suggestions, experiences, advice, videos, you name it. What are you waiting for? Get inspired with the August edition of Comet. Thanks for sharing!
