Discover! California Cheese Shops Guide Launches to Support Independent Retailers and Inspire Exploration of California Specialty Cheeses

New statewide resource developed by Real California Milk and the Cheese Trail connects consumers with independent cheese shops throughout the Golden State

TRACY, Calif., July 23, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Real California Milk and the Cheese Trail today announced the launch of the Discover! California Cheese Shops Guide, a new consumer resource designed to celebrate and support independent cheese shops across California while encouraging consumers to discover the exceptional variety and quality of California-made cheeses.

The statewide guide features independent cheese shops that showcase California cheeses, providing consumers with an easy way to explore local destinations, meet knowledgeable cheesemongers and discover the state’s award-winning artisan and farmstead cheeses.

Developed through a partnership between Real California Milk and the Cheese Trail, the guide expands opportunities for consumers to connect with California’s vibrant cheese community and the retailers who help bring specialty cheeses to market.

“California is home to an extraordinary community of cheesemakers producing world-class cheeses that reflect the innovation, craftsmanship and agricultural heritage of our state,” said Jennifer Giambroni, Vice President of Communications for the California Milk Advisory Board. “Independent cheese shops play an essential role in helping consumers discover these exceptional products, learn the stories behind them and build connections with local food producers. The Discover! California Cheese Shops Guide is designed to make those experiences more accessible while supporting the retailers who champion California cheese every day.”

California is America’s leading dairy state and home to one of the nation’s most dynamic artisan cheese communities. More than 50 California cheesemakers produce hundreds of varieties of specialty, artisan and farmstead cheeses, earning recognition at prestigious national and international competitions. From traditional European-inspired styles to innovative new creations, California cheeses reflect the state’s diverse landscapes, cultures and commitment to quality.

The Cheese Trail was founded in 2011 by Vivien Straus to connect cheese lovers with the cheesemakers, farms and retailers behind America’s cheese culture. What began as a regional Sonoma and Marin County initiative has grown into a statewide network that helps consumers discover cheesemakers, creameries, retailers and cheese-focused experiences throughout California, with expansion efforts underway nationwide.

“Cheese shops are among the most important ambassadors for artisan cheese,” said Vivien Straus, founder of the Cheese Trail. “These retailers introduce consumers to new flavors, educate them about cheesemaking traditions and connect them directly to the people and places behind the cheese. We’re excited to partner with Real California Milk on this guide to help more people discover the incredible cheese culture that exists throughout California and to support the independent businesses that make it thrive.”

The Discover! California Cheese Shops Guide highlights destinations throughout Northern, Central and Southern California, encouraging both residents and visitors to explore local communities through cheese. The guide complements the Cheese Trail’s broader mission of connecting consumers with cheesemakers, farms and retailers while helping strengthen California’s specialty cheese economy.

Luvme Hair Shares Summer Human Hair Wig Care Tips for Heat, Humidity, and Travel

The beauty brand offers practical guidance for keeping human hair wigs fresh, soft, manageable, and natural-looking during summer weather and travel routines

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Luvme Hair, a beauty brand offering human hair wigs, glueless wigs, lace wigs, and protective styling solutions, is sharing summer human hair wig care tips to help customers maintain softness, freshness, and manageability during hot weather, humid conditions, outdoor activities, and travel.

Summer can place extra stress on human hair wigs. Heat, sweat, sun exposure, humidity, sunscreen, styling products, wind, and travel storage can affect how a wig feels, moves, and holds its shape. According to Luvme Hair, a summer care routine should focus on moisture balance, gentle cleansing, frizz control, careful detangling, and proper storage.

“Human hair wigs can remain beautiful and natural-looking throughout the summer when customers adjust their care routine for the season,” said a spokesperson for Luvme Hair. “The goal is not to over-wash or over-style, but to keep the wig clean, hydrated, lightweight, and protected from unnecessary stress.”

KEY SUMMER HUMAN HAIR WIG CARE TIPS

1. MAINTAIN MOISTURE WITHOUT USING HEAVY PRODUCTS
Human hair wigs may become dry in summer because of heat, sun exposure, wind, and repeated styling. Luvme Hair recommends using lightweight conditioning products that help maintain softness without weighing the hair down. Heavy oils or too much styling product can create buildup, especially in hot weather.

For summer care, customers can focus on lightweight leave-in care, moisturizing conditioner, and anti-frizz support as part of their human hair wig care products routine.

2. REFRESH WIGS MORE OFTEN DURING HOT WEATHER
Summer sweat, sunscreen, dust, and styling products can collect around the lace area, cap interior, and hair fibers. Luvme Hair recommends refreshing wigs more often during summer, especially after long outdoor days or frequent wear.

A consistent wig care and maintenance routine can help reduce buildup, keep the wig fresher, and support a more comfortable wearing experience. However, customers should avoid excessive washing, which may dry out the hair. Instead, they should clean based on wear frequency, sweat, odor, and product buildup.

3. CONTROL FRIZZ CAUSED BY HUMIDITY
Humidity can make straight, wavy, and curly human hair wigs appear frizzy, puffy, or less defined. To help control frizz in human hair wigs, Luvme Hair suggests gentle detangling, light conditioning, and avoiding too much product layering.

For curly, body wave, deep wave, or water wave wigs, customers can refresh the pattern with a small amount of water-based leave-in product or curl-friendly styling product. The goal is to restore movement and definition without making the hair feel stiff or heavy.

4. DETANGLE GENTLY AFTER OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Wind, heat, friction, and movement can make the ends and nape area more prone to tangling. Luvme Hair recommends detangling from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb or wig-friendly brush. Customers should avoid pulling through knots aggressively, especially when the hair is wet or heavily tangled.

After outdoor activities, a few minutes of gentle detangling can help prevent small knots from becoming larger tangles.

5. PROTECT WIGS FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT AND SUN EXPOSURE
Human hair wigs can be styled with heat, but repeated high heat may contribute to dryness or dullness. During summer, Luvme Hair recommends limiting unnecessary heat styling and using heat-safe practices when hot tools are needed.

Customers who spend extended time outdoors should also avoid leaving wigs in direct sunlight, hot cars, or tightly packed bags for long periods. These conditions can affect softness, shine, and overall manageability.

6. CARE FOR WIGS AFTER BEACH, POOL, OR TRAVEL DAYS
Beach trips, pool days, and summer travel can expose wigs to salt air, chlorine, humidity, sweat, and packing pressure. Luvme Hair recommends extra attention to after beach or pool care, including gentle detangling, allowing the wig to air out, and cleansing when needed.

Before packing a wig, customers should make sure it is fully dry. Storing a damp wig in luggage can lead to odor, tangling, and a less fresh wearing experience.

7. PACK A SUMMER WIG CARE KIT
For vacations, weekend trips, outdoor events, and long travel days, Luvme Hair recommends preparing a small summer wig care kit. Useful items may include a wide-tooth comb, satin storage bag, lightweight leave-in conditioner, travel-size styling product, extra wig cap, edge brush, and a compact mirror.

A simple kit helps customers manage frizz, refresh the hairline, reduce tangling, and keep the wig looking natural throughout summer plans.

HUMAN HAIR WIG CARE FOR SUMMER CONFIDENCE

Luvme Hair notes that summer wig care is about creating balance. Human hair wigs need enough moisture to stay soft, enough cleansing to stay fresh, and enough protection to maintain their natural-looking finish. With the right routine, customers can enjoy summer weather, travel, and outdoor occasions while keeping their wigs manageable and polished.

By sharing seasonal care guidance, Luvme Hair aims to help customers feel confident in their human hair wigs throughout heat, humidity, and travel.

ABOUT LUVME HAIR

Luvme Hair offers human hair wigs, glueless wigs, lace wigs, and protective styling solutions designed for natural-looking, confidence-boosting wear. With a focus on comfort, quality, and beginner-friendly design, Luvme Hair provides wig options for everyday styling, special occasions, travel, and seasonal beauty routines.

Anima Initiative Presents ‘VENIA’s Dear, Sincerely,’ at Travel Town Museum

A one-day immersive experience transforming Los Angeles' historic railway museum into a living storybook of migration, memory, sound, movement, and avant-garde fashion

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Anima Initiative, the Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting independent and underrepresented artists through interdisciplinary programming, presents “VENIA’s Dear, Sincerely,” — a one-day immersive cultural experience taking place Saturday, June 6, 2026 at the historic Travel Town Museum in Griffith Park.

Created in partnership with Los Angeles avant-garde atelier VENIA and with the support of Travel Town Museum Foundation, “VENIA’s Dear, Sincerely,” transforms the iconic railway grounds into a cinematic living storybook exploring migration, memory, industrial romance, and collective imagination through large-scale installation, live music, choreography, immersive sound, digital storytelling, and theatrical fashion presentation.

Marking Anima Initiative’s first large-scale public arts experience, the event brings together emerging and established artists across visual art, music, movement, experimental sound, and fashion within a single site-specific environment open to the city. Inspired by the symbolism of rail travel during the Second Industrial Revolution, the experience unfolds through a five-part narrative arc — Discovery, Adaptation, Memory, Integration, and Departure — tracing the emotional landscape between leaving one world behind and arriving in another.

From 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM, guests are invited to explore immersive activations and live performances across the museum grounds.

Featured acclaimed collaborators include visual artists DeAngelo Ableidinger and Dilan Torres; avant-garde saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi; pianist Nelson Diaz; experimental musician Dylan Fujioka; layered environmental sound design by Dolce Wang; and an original audio composition weaving stories from Ukrainian refugees by award-winning composer Luke Mombrea and award-winning arts journalist Polina Cherezova.

The experience will also feature a newly commissioned ensemble choreography by Masha Cherezova, alongside digital collaborations with immersive media company 4DV and inspirational shopping agent app VIBA, curated alongside Zoey Zhu.

At 6:00 PM, the evening culminates in VENIA’s theatrical runway presentation accompanied by a special live performance from Arcana Nomadica — the internationally renowned chamber ensemble featuring Luanne Homzy, Felix Korchendorfer, Nikolai Sivchuk, and Marco Perciavalle.

“What does it feel like to experience the emotional arc of the last goodbye, and the first hello — as if walking through a fantastical vision of the Industrial Revolution, rooted in memories of others while carrying your own?” said Christine Ko, Co-founder VENIA. “We invite you to explore this feeling with us through these garments, these memories, in this space with us in real time, as we sign our love letter to those that made a way for us all to dream — ‘Dear, Sincerely.’”

Founded as a platform for accessible artistic world-building, Anima Initiative creates interdisciplinary public experiences that bridge storytelling, performance, and cultural memory. “Dear, Sincerely,” expands that mission into a city-scale gathering designed to invite audiences into art as a lived and participatory experience.

The event is free and open to the public, with donations supporting Anima Initiative’s future programming and continued commitment to accessible opportunities for independent and underrepresented artists in Los Angeles and beyond.

Gutscheine7 aggregates a wide range of offers from German retailers and brands, covering categories such as fashion, electronics, home goods, and pharmacy products.

Before making a purchase, travelers can use Gutscheine7 to browse current offers by brand or category, helping them compare options and identify the best available savings. The platform is continuously updated to reflect the latest promotions, reducing the likelihood of encountering expired or invalid discounts at checkout. This focus on usability and accuracy helps eliminate the trial-and-error experience that often comes with using coupons in a foreign market.

Gutscheine7 is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring a streamlined interface and intuitive navigation that make it accessible even for first-time users. Whether shopping online or visiting physical stores, U.S. travelers can quickly find relevant deals and make more informed purchasing decisions during their trip.

“Our goal is to make local savings accessible to everyone, regardless of where they are from,” said Lukas Schneider, Head of International Growth at Gutscheine7. “For U.S. travelers visiting Germany, understanding how discounts work locally can be a challenge. Gutscheine7 helps bridge that gap by providing clear, up-to-date, and practical savings information.”

As cross-border travel and shopping continue to grow, platforms that simplify access to local deals are becoming increasingly valuable. Gutscheine7’s focus on German market expertise positions it as a useful tool for international visitors looking to maximize value during their stay.

Larrea Press Announces ‘Miscalculated Risks’ Nominated for Book of the Year

SISTERS, Ore., April 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Larrea Press today announced its book “Miscalculated Risks: Attacked, Crippled, Paralyzed, Drowning, Unconscious and Freezing in The Wild (Just Not All At Once)” (ISBN: 979-8998909504), by Michael Cooper has been selected as a finalist for Adventure, Sports & Recreation Book of the Year by Foreword INDIES – one of the most respected international literary award panels.

Michael Cooper is shown on the cover of his memoir 'Miscalculated Risks.'
Image caption: Michael Cooper is shown on the cover of his memoir “Miscalculated Risks.”

As part of its mission to discover, review, and share the best books from university presses and independent publishers, Foreword Magazine, Inc., hosts an annual awards program. Finalists represent the best books published each year.

The Forward INDIES nomination comes on the heels of Cooper being nominated for the Eric Hoffer Montaigne Medal for “the most thought-provoking book” of the year and winning both the American Writing Awards and Literary Global Book Awards – distinctions prompting National Today to recognize Cooper as “a leading voice in adventure literature.”

“My wish is that readers of ‘Miscalculated Risks’ will be inspired to pursue their own dreams, whether adventuring in the wild, resurrecting a sidelined passion, or striving toward a longed-for career,” said author Michael Cooper. “Dream big, live big. Don’t wait. The first steps lead eventually to the summit. And to the adventurer whose time at the forefront has passed, I hope you enjoy my love letter to the wild that is ‘Miscalculated Risks’ and are vicariously transported to the edge of the map.”

Michael Cooper’s bestselling memoir blends adventure, personal reflection, and gripping storytelling as it chronicles his many near-fatal expeditions, extreme wilderness encounters, and the relentless drive that pushed him more than 8,000 miles into some of the most remote and uncharted landscapes in North America.

Across its exhilarating, often darkly humorous chapters, “Miscalculated Risks” recounts Cooper’s close brushes with death in the wild:

  • Mortally wounded in a Mexican jungle, twenty pathless miles from medical help
  • Severely hypothermic on an isolated Oregon river, battling sixty-nine miles of rapids during a weeklong blizzard
  • Deathly ill and out of water in sun-scorched desert
  • And several more life-threatening episodes that tested the limits of endurance, resolve, and luck

Cooper’s memoir explores themes of wilderness survival, camaraderie, the lure of untouched landscapes, and the human drive to test boundaries – sometimes recklessly so.

“The wilderness comes alive on the page in this (literal) trailblazer’s memoir. … Cooper portrays his adventures in immersive detail. His descriptions of his experiences in untouched areas are lyrical. … Lovers of the outdoors and armchair travelers alike will enjoy adventuring along with him. OUR VERDICT: GET IT” – Kirkus Reviews

“An outdoors adventure memoir packed with hair-raising encounters, gripping moments of life-or-death, and confrontations with nature that will leave readers on the edges of their seats. … Libraries seeking adventure stories of mountaineering and outdoors encounters will want to add ‘Miscalculated Risks’ to their collections. … Nothing short of remarkable.” – D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

“This isn’t some slow-burning narrative; it’s a series of high-stakes moments when things went completely wrong during backpacking, climbing, and rafting trips. Cooper walks the reader through several terrifying scenarios … The honesty in ‘Miscalculated Risks’ is what makes the memoir work so well. Michael Cooper doesn’t try to sound like a legendary explorer; he sounds like a guy who is genuinely lucky to be breathing and wants to show you exactly where he tripped up. There is a lot of vulnerability here, especially when he describes the mental toll of being completely helpless in the wild. The pacing is great because the intensity of the accidents is balanced by some really thoughtful reflections on why people take these kinds of risks in the first place. … It is a gripping, cautionary book that definitely stays with you after you finish it. I highly recommend this book!” – Kristen A. Peters, Readers’ Favorite

ABOUT MICHAEL COOPER:

A wilderness adventurer, mountaineer and backcountry navigator, Michael Cooper has trekked through thousands of miles of wild terrain, including areas untouched by any recorded explorer. He is also a respected recording engineer and producer, working with Academy Award winner William Hurt, ABC World News anchor Barry Serafin, and Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Ashley Cleveland. Cooper’s journalism has appeared over 500 times in eight national and international magazines.

Don’t wait. The first steps lead eventually to the summit. And to the adventurer whose time at the forefront has passed, I hope you enjoy my love letter to the wild that is ‘Miscalculated Risks’ and are vicariously transported to the edge of the map.”

Michael Cooper’s bestselling memoir blends adventure, personal reflection, and gripping storytelling as it chronicles his many near-fatal expeditions, extreme wilderness encounters, and the relentless drive that pushed him more than 8,000 miles into some of the most remote and uncharted landscapes in North America.

Across its exhilarating, often darkly humorous chapters, “Miscalculated Risks” recounts Cooper’s close brushes with death in the wild:

  • Mortally wounded in a Mexican jungle, twenty pathless miles from medical help
  • Severely hypothermic on an isolated Oregon river, battling sixty-nine miles of rapids during a weeklong blizzard
  • Deathly ill and out of water in sun-scorched desert
  • And several more life-threatening episodes that tested the limits of endurance, resolve, and luck

Cooper’s memoir explores themes of wilderness survival, camaraderie, the lure of untouched landscapes, and the human drive to test boundaries – sometimes recklessly so.

“The wilderness comes alive on the page in this (literal) trailblazer’s memoir. … Cooper portrays his adventures in immersive detail. His descriptions of his experiences in untouched areas are lyrical. … Lovers of the outdoors and armchair travelers alike will enjoy adventuring along with him. OUR VERDICT: GET IT” – Kirkus Reviews

“An outdoors adventure memoir packed with hair-raising encounters, gripping moments of life-or-death, and confrontations with nature that will leave readers on the edges of their seats. … Libraries seeking adventure stories of mountaineering and outdoors encounters will want to add ‘Miscalculated Risks’ to their collections. … Nothing short of remarkable.” – D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

“This isn’t some slow-burning narrative; it’s a series of high-stakes moments when things went completely wrong during backpacking, climbing, and rafting trips. Cooper walks the reader through several terrifying scenarios … The honesty in ‘Miscalculated Risks’ is what makes the memoir work so well. Michael Cooper doesn’t try to sound like a legendary explorer; he sounds like a guy who is genuinely lucky to be breathing and wants to show you exactly where he tripped up. There is a lot of vulnerability here, especially when he describes the mental toll of being completely helpless in the wild. The pacing is great because the intensity of the accidents is balanced by some really thoughtful reflections on why people take these kinds of risks in the first place. … It is a gripping, cautionary book that definitely stays with you after you finish it. I highly recommend this book!” – Kristen A. Peters, Readers’ Favorite

Camino Author Spearheads New Pilgrim Tradition Along the Camino de Santiago

As part of her global Camino Cleanup campaign, Kiser is spearheading a new pilgrim tradition of picking up one piece of litter each day while walking the Camino

SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 24, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Santiago de Compostela Pilgrim’s Reception Office in Spain reports that 530,999 people received a Compostela certificate of completion in 2025, up 6% over 2024. Author Karin Kiser of Camino Chronicles Press says the actual number of people walking or biking the Camino de Santiago routes is more than that – much more.

Photo caption: Karin Kiser picking up trash on the Camino.

According to Kiser, many people walk sections that don’t end in Santiago de Compostela. Repeat pilgrims often choose not to get a second or third certificate of completion. Spaniards, who represent more than 40% of annual Compostelas, often walk the Camino in stages over several years.

That means there are well over 600,000 people on the trails each year – with more to come as the Camino celebrates the next Holy or Jubilee Year in 2027. With new flexible starting point requirements to receive a Compostela, the Camino could soon see one million walkers on the trails annually.

“More people walking the Camino means more litter,” notes Kiser, “both on the trail itself and behind the bushes where unprepared and unaware pilgrims are going to the bathroom and leaving their dirty tissues behind. I hope to change that.”

“Unfortunately, there isn’t an established infrastructure for cleaning the Camino,” Kiser adds, “so it’s up to each of us to do our part to keep these sacred paths free of litter and human waste. Most pilgrims carry a shell on their backpacks and a stone in their pockets for the Cruz de Ferro. Why not one item of litter each day as a way of giving thanks to the Camino?”

As part of her global Camino Cleanup campaign, Kiser is spearheading a new pilgrim tradition of picking up one piece of litter each day while walking the Camino. “If every pilgrim who walks the 500-miles from in St Jean Pied de Port does this, it would equal more than one million pieces of rubbish collected by a small fraction of pilgrims,” Kiser explains. “Imagine what the Camino will be like when this tradition catches on.”

ABOUT KARIN KISER:

Karin Kiser is the founder of Camino Chronicles Press and the author of 10 books, including “Before the Camino,” “Your Inner Camino,” “After the Camino,” and the international bestseller “Lighten Your Load.” Part of book proceeds goes toward the global campaign to keep the Camino clean.

Cielo.Travel Publishes February 2026 Update to ‘The 17 Best Restaurants in Bogota,’ Colombia Guide

Monthly 'best restaurants in Bogota' series helps travelers plan dining itineraries with a curated list and map

BOGOTA, Colombia, Feb. 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Cielo.Travel today released its February 2026 update to “The 17 Best Restaurants in Bogota,” a monthly guide that spotlights standout dining experiences across Colombia’s capital. The refreshed list spans chef-led tasting menus, neighborhood favorites, market-based cuisine and historic institutions, and includes an interactive map to help visitors build efficient, high-quality itineraries.

Cielo.Travel Publishes February 2026 Update to The 17 Best Restaurants in Bogota, Colombia Guide
Image caption: Cielo.Travel Publishes February 2026 Update to ‘The 17 Best Restaurants in Bogota,’ Colombia Guide.

Bogota’s dining scene changes quickly. New concepts open, menus rotate seasonally, and areas like Chapinero, Zona G and the Centro Historico continue to sharpen their culinary identities. For travelers and media, that pace creates a common problem: restaurant recommendations become stale fast. Cielo.Travel’s approach is to publish a clear, editorially consistent update every month, built as a practical reference that is easy to scan, easy to verify, and easy to plan around.

FEBRUARY 2026 LIST HIGHLIGHTS

The February 2026 edition features (in ranked order): Cafe Bar Universal; Bubu Burgers; Leo; Treme; Universal de Hamburguesas; El Chato; Restaurante Cecilia; Cacio & Pepe; Pajares Salinas; Plaza de Mercado La Perseverancia; El Galapago Campestre; Fortezza; Pizzardi Artigianale; Santa Fe Restaurante; La Puerta Falsa; Les Amis Bizcocheria; and Los Galenos Restaurante.

“Our goal is simple: make it easier to eat incredibly well in Bogota,” said Shawn Christopher Hiner Leamon, CEO of Cielo.Travel. “Most lists are either too generic, too biased toward a single neighborhood, or outdated the moment you land. We’re committing to a monthly update that reflects what’s actually resonating right now, so travelers can plan with confidence, and restaurants get deserved recognition.”

EDITORIAL METHODOLOGY

Cielo.Travel compiles the guide using a traveler-first editorial lens focused on repeatable quality and real-world experience. Selections prioritize:

– Consistency: reliable execution across visits, not one-off hype.

– Distinctiveness: a clear point of view (technique, ingredients, concept or setting).

– Experience: service, atmosphere and overall value relative to category.

– Relevance: how well a restaurant represents a broader Bogota food story, from contemporary Colombian cooking and grill culture to Italian craft traditions and classic institutions.

Because the guide is updated monthly, it is designed to evolve. As openings, closures, menu shifts and neighborhood trends develop, the list can adapt without losing its editorial continuity. Cielo.Travel also welcomes factual updates from restaurants (hours, reservation policies, temporary closures) to keep the resource accurate for readers.

WHY A ‘BEST RESTAURANTS IN BOGOTA’ GUIDE MATTERS

For many visitors, dining is one of the fastest ways to understand a destination. Bogota offers an unusually wide range of experiences within a short ride: world-renowned tasting menus, casual natural-wine spots, legendary bakeries, and bustling plazas where regional flavors come together. The guide is intended to reduce decision fatigue, especially for time-constrained travelers who want a high hit-rate itinerary without spending hours researching.

The monthly format is also built for hotels, travel advisors and journalists who need a current, organized reference. Each update is written in clear English for an international audience, while still reflecting on-the-ground local knowledge.

PLANNING SUPPORT FOR VISITORS

In addition to publishing the restaurant guide, Cielo.Travel helps visitors plan a seamless Bogota stay. The company provides private and luxury tours, curated experiences and custom itineraries, and can coordinate logistics between neighborhoods and reservations for travelers who want a premium, low-friction trip. Readers can also explore related Bogota resources published by Cielo.Travel, including guides to coffee shops and wellness-focused travel.

HOW TO ACCESS THE GUIDE

The updated “The 17 Best Restaurants in Bogota (Updated 2026)” guide is available now and includes a map to help readers route meals efficiently across the city:

Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn Named One of America’s Five Most Iconic Buffets by Fox News

OWENSBORO, Ky., Jan. 30, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn has been recognized as one of America’s five most iconic buffets in a recent Fox News feature highlighting the nation’s premier all-you-can-eat dining destinations. The family-owned restaurant joins an elite group that includes renowned establishments from Las Vegas, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Rhode Island.

The Fox News article places Moonlite alongside such celebrated venues as Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Shady Maple Smorgasbord in Pennsylvania, praising the Owensboro institution for its slow-cooked barbecued mutton and deep-rooted Western Kentucky tradition.

Operating since 1963, Moonlite has earned widespread acclaim for its signature mutton preparation, which takes 15 hours to slow-smoke over hickory wood. The regional specialty has helped establish Owensboro as a barbecue destination and showcases the unique culinary heritage of Western Kentucky.

“At Moonlite, we’re a buffet for everyone. You’ll find farmers sitting next to teachers, coal miners alongside congressmen, and millionaires breaking bread with their neighbors. That’s what real community looks like,” Patrick Bosley, co-owner, Moonlite Bar-B-Que, says.

Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn Named One of America's Five Most Iconic Buffets by Fox News

This recognition comes on the heels of additional national attention, with “Family Destinations Guide” declaring Moonlite “so good, it’s worth a road trip” in their recent feature. The publication praised the restaurant’s extensive buffet, traditional Kentucky recipes including burgoo, and the family’s dedication to maintaining quality standards over six decades of operation.

“We pride ourselves on remaining authentic. In a world that’s always chasing the next trend, we’re committed to the traditions that have made us who we are for generations,” Bosley says.

The Bosley family, which has owned and operated Moonlite since its founding by Hugh and Catherine Bosley, continues to uphold the traditions that have made the restaurant a beloved institution. What began as a modest 30-seat operation has grown into a destination capable of serving hundreds of guests while maintaining the personal touch and commitment to excellence that built its reputation.

Moonlite’s buffet features an array of smoked meats including the signature mutton, pork, ribs, and chicken, complemented by traditional Southern sides such as creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, baked beans studded with barbecue and fresh cornbread. The restaurant’s distinctive “dip” — a vinegar-based sauce used to baste meats during smoking — has become legendary in its own right.

“In an age of fast food, Moonlite stands out because we still cook—real food, made the way grandma used to make it. There’s no shortcut to quality, and there never will be,” Bosley says.

ABOUT MOONLITE BAR-B-Q INN

Established in 1963, Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn is a family-owned restaurant in Owensboro, Kentucky, renowned for its traditional Western Kentucky barbecue and legendary buffet. Specializing in slow-smoked mutton—a regional delicacy—Moonlite has become a culinary destination for barbecue enthusiasts nationwide while maintaining its commitment to affordable, quality dining for all guests.

Located at 2840 W Parrish Ave in Owensboro, Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn serves lunch and dinner daily, offering both buffet and à la carte options. The restaurant also ships its signature sauces and products nationwide.

LB Limo Inc. is Redefining LAX Car Service in Los Angeles for 2026

Technology, Reliability, and Elevated Standards Set a New Benchmark for Airport Transportation

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 13, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As Los Angeles prepares for increased travel volume heading into 2026, expectations surrounding airport transportation are shifting rapidly. travelers are no longer satisfied with basic pickups or inconsistent scheduling. They expect reliability, professionalism, and seamless coordination from curb to terminal. LB Limo (LB Limousine, Inc.)  is responding to these evolving demands by redefining what premium airport transportation looks like, setting a new standard for LAX car service across the region.

Image caption: LB Limousine, Inc. luxury SUV providing professional airport car service in Los Angeles, specializing in executive transportation, corporate travel, and premium black car service.

With Los Angeles International Airport remaining one of the busiest airports in the world, pressure continues to mount on transportation providers to deliver consistent, dependable service. LB Limo has positioned itself at the forefront of this transformation by combining operational precision, modern fleet management, and customer-first service models designed for today’s traveler.

RAISING THE BAR FOR AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION IN LOS ANGELES

Airport transportation is no longer a commodity. It is an experience that directly affects travel outcomes, schedules, and overall comfort. LB Limo recognized early on that travelers heading to and from LAX require more than availability. They require accountability.

The company’s approach centers on punctuality, transparent scheduling, and professional chauffeurs trained specifically for airport logistics. From flight tracking to real-time dispatch coordination, LB Limo has refined each operational layer to remove uncertainty from the travel process.

According to company leadership, redefining airport transportation means anticipating issues before they arise and eliminating friction points that frustrate travelers.

“The biggest complaint travelers have is inconsistency,” said Patrick Yeromian, LB Limo CEO. “Missed pickups, poor communication, and last-minute changes have become normalized in the industry. Our goal is to eliminate that uncertainty entirely.”

This commitment has helped position LB Limo as a trusted provider for travelers seeking dependable airport transportation in a city where timing matters.

WHY LAX DEMANDS A SPECIALIZED TRANSPORTATION STRATEGY

LAX presents challenges unlike any other airport in the country. Terminal congestion, complex pickup zones, frequent construction changes, and heavy traffic patterns require providers to operate with precision.

LB Limo has built its service model specifically around these realities. Chauffeurs are trained on terminal layouts, traffic patterns, and airport regulations. Dispatch systems are designed to adapt to delays, gate changes, and real-time traffic shifts.

This specialization is a key reason that travelers increasingly seek out dedicated LAX car service providers instead of general transportation options.

“Serving LAX properly requires expertise,” Patrick explained. “It’s not just about showing up. It’s about knowing exactly where to be, when to be there, and how to adjust instantly when conditions change.”

By focusing on airport-specific logistics, LB Limo delivers a smoother experience for both departing and arriving passengers.

BUILDING A REPUTATION AS A TRUSTED AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER

Reputation in the transportation industry is built on consistency. LB Limo has invested heavily in systems that ensure service reliability regardless of time, traffic, or travel volume.

The company maintains a modern fleet designed for comfort, cleanliness, and safety. Vehicles are inspected regularly, maintained on strict schedules, and equipped to support executive, family, and group travel needs.

Chauffeurs undergo ongoing training that emphasizes professionalism, discretion, and airport protocol compliance. This attention to detail has helped LB Limo earn recognition among frequent travelers who rely on predictable service.

Many clients now refer to the company as the #1 LAX car option for travelers who prioritize punctuality and service quality over convenience-driven alternatives.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF BUSINESS AND LEISURE TRAVELERS ALIKE

The travel landscape has evolved. Business travelers expect efficiency and reliability. Leisure travelers expect comfort and peace of mind. LB Limo has structured its services to support both segments without compromise.

For corporate clients, the company offers streamlined booking, dedicated account management, and precise scheduling aligned with tight itineraries. For families and leisure travelers, the focus shifts to comfort, luggage accommodation, and stress-free transitions.

This dual capability has allowed LB Limo to expand its reach while maintaining service consistency across client types.

“Whether someone is traveling for business or vacation, the expectations are the same,” said Yeromian. “They want to arrive on time, feel comfortable, and know their transportation is handled.”

REDEFINING CAR SERVICE TO LAX AIRPORT FOR THE FUTURE

Looking ahead to 2026, LB Limo is continuing to invest in technology and infrastructure that support long-term growth and service excellence. Advanced scheduling platforms, enhanced communication tools, and fleet upgrades are all part of the company’s forward-looking strategy.

The company’s vision for car service to LAX Airport centers on predictability, transparency, and adaptability. As passenger volume increases and airport operations evolve, LB Limo plans to remain agile without sacrificing quality.

LEADERSHIP EMPHASIZES THAT INNOVATION DOES NOT REPLACE SERVICE. IT SUPPORTS IT.

“Technology helps us deliver better service, but it never replaces human accountability,” the Patrick noted. “Our clients trust us because we take responsibility for their experience from start to finish.”

COMMITMENT TO PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS AND COMPLIANCE

Operating in Los Angeles requires strict adherence to local regulations, airport rules, and safety standards. LB Limo prioritizes compliance at every level of its operation.

From licensing and insurance to chauffeur training and vehicle maintenance, the company maintains rigorous standards that protect clients and reinforce trust. This commitment ensures uninterrupted service even as regulations evolve.

By aligning operational practices with regulatory expectations, LB Limo minimizes risk while maximizing reliability for its clients.

POSITIONING FOR GROWTH WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITY

As demand for premium airport transportation increases, many providers struggle to scale without sacrificing service quality. LB Limo has taken a measured approach to growth, focusing on infrastructure before expansion.

Fleet additions, staffing increases, and system upgrades are implemented strategically to ensure service levels remain consistent. This disciplined approach supports long-term sustainability while protecting the client experience.

Industry observers note that this balance between growth and control is what separates dependable providers from short-lived competitors.

ABOUT LB LIMO

LB Limo is a Los Angeles-based, family-owned transportation company specializing in premium airport transportation solutions. With roots dating back to the 1960s, the establishment first operated as a taxi operation until it became a dedicated limousine service in 2003. Known for reliability, professionalism, and operational precision, the company provides dedicated LAX car service designed to meet the needs of modern travelers.

With a focus on punctuality, customer satisfaction, and service consistency, LB Limo continues to redefine expectations for airport transportation in Los Angeles as travel demands evolve toward 2026 and beyond.

Connie Han – The Opener with an Edge
Kicking things off is the brilliant Steinway Artist Connie Han, whose explosive piano style blends classic jazz sophistication with modern swagger. Described by Variety as “one of contemporary jazz’s most talented and inventive musicians” and dubbed by DownBeat Magazine “The Jazz Warrior-Goddess” with “a skill and ferocity unmatched by all but the most accomplished of pianists.” She’s bold, edgy, and sets the tone for a night that’s anything but ordinary. Her performance opens the door to what jazz can be: daring, expressive, and fresh.

Walter Beasley – Smooth, Soulful, and Unmistakably Signature
Following Connie Han is the iconic, Walter Beasley, a two-time Boston Music Awards winner, whose silky saxophone and soulful vocals have made him one of the most beloved figures in contemporary jazz. He brings warmth, groove, and heartfelt emotion — creating the perfect musical bridge in the evening. Where Han is fiery and sharp, Beasley is smooth and soothing, balancing the night with a rich, melodic soulfulness.

Ghost-Note Brings the Heat – Headed by Snarky Puppy’s multi-Grammy–winning percussion duo of Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth
Closing out the night is Ghost-Note whose explosive sound — filled with deep-pocket grooves, electrifying percussion, and high-energy stage presence — transforms jazz into an unstoppable force.

Vintage Americana Comes to Life at New Paul Stanley Museum in Los Angeles

Celebrating the Iconic Advertising Artistry Behind Hamm's Beer, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and More

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 11, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A forgotten genius of mid-century advertising is finally getting his due. The newly launched Paul Stanley Museum, opening in Los Angeles in 2026, will honor the legacy of Paul Stanley Company – the creative powerhouse behind some of America’s most beloved animated beer and soda advertising signs.

Paul Stanley Museum - Hamm's Beer Helicopter
Photo caption: Paul Stanley Museum – Hamm’s Beer Helicopter.

From the late 1940s through the late 1960s, Stanley’s whimsical, motorized displays were used as traveling point-of-sale merchandising units, bringing grocery and retail store aisles to life with dancing animals, bubbling beers, and twinkling lights. His unique designs for Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Hamm’s Beer, and Mother’s Cookies—often mistaken for mechanical toys—are now highly prized by collectors and historians alike.

Founded by Dr. Michael Miller, the museum will serve as the first public archive devoted entirely to Paul Stanley’s mechanical sign work. “This was advertising as kinetic sculpture,” says Miller. “Stanley’s artistry bridged engineering and charm—every piece told a story in motion.”

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE COLLECTION INCLUDE:

  • The original Hamm’s Beer Bear rotating helicopter display (circa 1964)
  • A Pepsi-Cola “winking bottle” light-up sign with moving eyes
  • The rare Mother’s Cookies animated Cowboy; once placed in California grocery stores
  • Behind-the-scenes photographs and schematics of Stanley’s San Francisco workshop

The museum also aims to educate younger generations about the handmade ingenuity of pre-digital advertising. Through interactive exhibits, restoration demonstrations, and guided tours, visitors can experience how these pieces were built – gear by gear, bulb by bulb.

“We’re not just preserving signs,” Miller says. “We’re preserving a uniquely American moment—when retail displays came alive with lights, motion, and imagination.”

The Paul Stanley Museum is set to open in Spring 2026 in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles.

For press inquiries, interviews, or early access to the private collection, please contact Dr. Michael Miller at: contact@paulstanleymuseum.com.

ABOUT PAUL STANLEY COMPANY

Operating out of San Francisco from the late 1940s to the late 1960s, the Paul Stanley Company was known for creating animated point-of-purchase displays and lighted motion signs, especially for beverage and snack companies. While little was known about the company until recent years, surviving pieces have become legendary among collectors of vintage advertising memorabilia.

Maglite, Pedestrian Safety Institute, and Additional Partners Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

Pedestrian Deaths Continue to Increase Unabated Year After Year - 2024 on pace to set new record (GHSA)

ONTARIO, Calif., July 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Maglite® brand partners with the Pedestrian Safety Institute (PSI) to support traffic and pedestrian safety during one of the deadliest times of the year, the first week in July. The days surrounding July 4th are perilous and are routinely referred to as the deadliest driving days of the year, and pedestrian deaths make up approximately 20% of those fatalities.

Maglite and Partners to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month
Image caption: Maglite and Partners to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month.

Drivers struck and killed 3,304 people walking in the United States in the first half of 2024, down 2.6% from the year before but up a staggering 48% from 2014. The 3,304 people killed in the first half of 2024, as reported by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), would make it one of the deadliest years for pedestrians since they started keeping and reporting these statistics as usual darkness played a significant role with 82% of all fatalities in the first half of 2024 happening in the hours of dusk, darkness or dawn.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

The alarming increase in the number of pedestrians killed in October, November, and December continues. These are the months when it gets darker earlier and stays dark longer. The Pedestrian Safety Institute recommends that people do everything they can to be seen at night, especially by carrying a flashlight.

In addition to the Pedestrian Safety Institute, Maglite is proud to have the American Paramedic Association, Citizens Behind the Badge, the U.S. Deputy Sheriffs Association, the lead economist of the Drucker School, Jay Prag (who did a seminal white paper on the costs of pedestrian deaths to the U.S. economy) and America’s Criminologist Dr. Currie Myers joining in this mission to illuminate the dangers facing pedestrians and solutions.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month was created by the Pedestrian Safety Institute to educate and urge drivers to use caution during this time of year.

“There are simple ways to reduce the number of pedestrian deaths due to pedestrian traffic accidents – pedestrians should carry a bright flashlight, wear reflective clothing, and be cautious, especially around fast-moving traffic,” said Tony Maglica, founder and CEO of Mag Instrument, Inc., manufacturer of the Maglite® Flashlight.

About Mag Instrument:

Mag Instrument, manufacturer of the MAGLITE® flashlight, is a proud U.S.A. manufacturer. Each flashlight is a result of an obsession with fine engineering, craftsmanship and a commitment to perfection. Founder, owner, and President Anthony Maglica has guided his company’s growth from a one-man machine shop in 1955 to an enterprise that has proudly employed thousands of American workers since it produced its first flashlight in 1979.

Ethical Traveler Announces 2025’s ‘Ten Best Ethical Destinations’ Awards

BERKELEY, Calif., March 4, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Every year, California-based Ethical Traveler reviews the world’s developing nations for their commitment to human rights, social welfare, environmental protection, and animal welfare. The ten destinations showing the most impressive progress are honored with “Best Ethical Destinations” Awards. These worthy countries, many of which are island nations, stand to benefit greatly from our travel dollars. In a world challenged by climate change and a rise in political polarization, recognizing and rewarding best practices is essential.

Ethical Traveler
Image caption: Ethical Traveler.

After the global shut-downs and loss of revenue wrought by COVID-19, we enter 2025 with renewed wanderlust. But the world won’t recover overnight. This is especially true of the international travel industry — which employs one out of ten people worldwide. The recent challenges to travel and tourism have had a lasting impact across this vast sector of human society.

Visiting our winning destinations will help these nations continue their impressive work in social justice and environmental stewardship. By “voting with our wings” we can reward these nations for their efforts and motivate neighboring countries to do the same.

Ethical Traveler congratulates the 2025 honorees of the Ten Best Ethical Destinations Awards.

IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER (NOT IN ORDER OF MERIT), THE WINNERS ARE:

  • Barbados
  • Botswana
  • Cabo Verde
  • Chile
  • Costa Rica
  • Dominica
  • Fiji
  • Palau
  • Panama
  • Uruguay

“With the pandemic hopefully behind us,” says Ethical Traveler’s executive director Jeff Greenwald, “all of us can play an active role in redefining what travel is, and how it might enhance the lives of people around the world. When we visit the countries on our list — all of which have taken extraordinary steps to increase the welfare of their people while safeguarding their natural treasures — we’re expressing our admiration and support in a tangible and meaningful way.”

Adds Greenwald, “Since the launch of the first smartphone in the summer of 2007, the world has become ever more interconnected. Yet as all enterprising travelers know, there is still plenty of ‘out there’ out there. The winning countries on our 2025 list are great alternatives to the over-loved canals of Europe and beaches of Southeast Asia. Not only are they gorgeous and uncrowded, their national leadership has demonstrated a sincere commitment to practices that protect the environment and benefit Indigenous populations.”

“We inhabit and share the resources of a small planet, stunning in its beauty, diversity, and fragility,” says Greenwald. “Our only path to survival lies with taking care of each other. And this begins with knowing each other. We at Ethical Traveler passionately believe that travel can be more than a personal voyage of discovery. It shows us what it means to be human.”

Concurrent with the announcement of the winning countries, Ethical Traveler will launch a new photo gallery, featuring images by renowned photojournalist Robert Holmes.

Ethical Traveler is a project of Berkeley-based Earth Island Institute, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

TravelInsurance.com Urges Travelers To Get Travel Insurance Coverage for 2024 Winter Trips

NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 16, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With winter travel just around the corner, savvy travelers are preparing not only for the possibility of harsh weather conditions but also the kind of technological issues that plagued the summer 2024 travel season leaving thousands stranded, frustrated, and with unbudgeted additional costs. TravelInsurance.com underscores the importance of safeguarding travel investments against unforeseen disruptions—natural or manmade—with a comprehensive travel insurance policy.

Last summer, a massive system failure led to a cascade of delays and cancellations, leaving travelers without recourse for compensation. At the peak of the disruption, industry analysts[1] cited more than 7,000 flights were delayed and around 2,500 were canceled in the U.S. Airlines struggled to compensate for accommodations and meals, leaving many scrambling to cover unexpected expenses. The situation underscored the importance of having a travel insurance policy that can step in when airline assistance falls short.

As the winter travel season is set to get underway in the next few weeks, travelers should not rely solely on airlines to cover costs in case of delays, cancellations, or other unexpected disruptions. TravelInsurance.com emphasizes the importance of securing coverage for winter 2024-2025 to ensure a smoother experience and avoid out-of-pocket expenses.

“While no one can predict when the next travel disruption might occur, the summer 2024 chaos proved that it’s not just bad weather that can ruin travel plans,” says Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. “Don’t wait until you’re at the airport – research and purchase insurance well ahead of your trip to ensure you’re fully protected. By investing in the right type of travel insurance, you can have peace of mind during the winter travel season, regardless of what obstacles arise.”

KEY POLICIES TO CONSIDER

When purchasing travel insurance, it is essential to ensure that travelers tailor their coverage. Here are the top three coverages TravelInsurance.com recommends:

  • Trip Cancellation/Interruption Insurance: Provides reimbursement for non-refundable trip costs when canceled or cut short due to covered reasons such as illness, weather, or airline disruptions.
  • Travel Delay Coverage: Compensates for additional expenses due to delays, including accommodations, meals, and transportation costs. Extended delays, particularly during high-traffic periods like the holidays, can leave travelers stranded in airports for hours or even days. A comprehensive travel insurance policy generally provides compensation for meals, lodging, and other incidental costs when delays exceed a certain threshold.
  • Baggage Insurance: Baggage insurance provides reimbursement for lost, stolen, or damaged luggage, helping to cover the cost of essentials.

New Orleans to Host The 18th Annual Edition of Its Roller Derby Themed RUNNING OF THE BULLS On July 12-14

NEW ORLEANS, La. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Crescent City will once again be the backdrop for America's original festival to commemorate Pamplona, Spain's centuries-old San Fermin celebration that culminates in the famous Running of the Bulls in New Orleans on July 13, 2024, Nola Bulls LLC announced today.

San Fermin in Nueva Orleans 2024 will take place July 12 through 14, 2024, in the Central Business District of downtown New Orleans, with three days of events at the beautiful and historic Gallier Hall at 545 St. Charles Avenue.

The start of the weekend's festivities - "El Txupinazo" - kicks off on Friday night. This year's entertainment includes New Orleans' own James Andrews and the Crescent City All Star Jazz Band. There will be a fund-raiser for their chosen charity partner, Beth's Friends Forever, to support New Orleans area women fighting cancer.

RELEASE THOSE BULLS on SATURDAY MORNING!

Come out and see women roller derby athletes, aka RollerBulls(tm), chase down "runners" wearing traditional red and white colors to commemorate Saint Fermin. The Bulls themselves, hailing from across the USA and Canada, will be decked out as their namesake and delivering air bat reminders for participants to "move it along" to the annual gauntlet before finishing the run at Gallier Hall for performances by an outstanding, all "NOLA" lineup.

Neutral Snap's Pop Punk set kicks off the main room, while DJ Brice Nice spins in the chill room. Dinny Skip, the "freakin' funkiest funkrap flabadooby to ever stomp this sweet swingin' sphere" headlines. All the while, the Crescent City All Star Jazz Band jazzes up the VIP.

The finale of the weekend is the beloved Burlesque-themed recovery party to close out the fiesta, and will once again be hosted by Big Deal Burlesque. This is a ticketed event inside the theater at Gallier Hall, and will include a tasty brunch and Bloody Marys.

Proceeds benefit Beth's Friends Forever, a New Orleans non-profit supporting women fighting cancer. Since its inception in 2007, San Fermin Nueva Orleans has delivered more than $50,000 directly to patients going through their fight.

Leading Travel Insurance Comparison Website, TravelInsurance.com, Provides Critical Advice for Travelers During the Active 2024 Hurricane Season

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- As the 2024 hurricane season kicks off, forecasts indicate this will be an above-normal season with potentially record-breaking activity. TravelInsurance.com underscores the importance of safeguarding travel investments against unforeseen disruptions. With predictions from Colorado State University's tropical meteorology project team forecasting 23 storms, 11 which could intensify into hurricanes, including five reaching Category 3 status or higher, travelers face heightened risks during this summer.

With the expected surge in summer 2024 travel, TravelInsurance.com emphasizes the critical need to purchase travel insurance to mitigate hurricane season risks.

"This year's forecasts predict one of the most extensive hurricane seasons ever," says Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. "Don't wait until you're at the mercy of the elements to consider travel insurance. Once a storm is named, it's too late to get coverage, which is why we urge travelers to buy early."

Travel insurance provides a sense of ease, knowing non-refundable expenses are safeguarded in case of disruptions. TravelInsurance.com not only simplifies the process of comparing and purchasing insurance from global travel insurers but enables users to find the right plan, for the right trip, at the lowest guaranteed price.

To assist travelers this hurricane season, TravelInsurance.com offers the following tips:

* Plan Ahead: Purchase travel insurance in advance. Hurricane coverage isn't available if your policy is purchased after a storm is named.

* Choose Wisely: Especially this year, choose your destination strategically - such as heading to the south Caribbean instead of the north Caribbean islands that are more prone to hurricanes - and obtain insurance against flight disruptions, accommodation issues, and travel cancellations.

* Go Comprehensive: Opt for Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage, providing maximum flexibility without incurring significant costs. Look for policies offering evacuation coverage in case you need to leave your destination due to an impending storm.
