Expert Profile: Stephen Tanenbaum

Expertise:  FREE GLOBAL & DOMESTIC TRAVEL which always beats discount travel. In recent years we have enjoyed free travel to such destinations as Africa, Israel, Australia, Brazil, France, New Zealand, Hawaii, England, Greece, Alaska and our lower 48. Other budget travel areas include such as air brokers, rebate travel agencies, renting a Paris/Barcelona apartments for as little as $65/night (depending on length of stay and size of apt.), sightseeing and general TIPS on travel related comfort, safey/convenience and day to day SAVINGS. Since we travel Free 95% of the time I DO NOT OFFER ADVICE ON CHEAPEST, LOWEST PRICED AND/OR LAST MINUTE AIRLINE FARES. Such deals are best found by diligent Google research & reading the N.Y. and/or L.A. Sunday best in the U.S. Travel sections. FREE airline deals may NOT be available to non-U.S. residents.
Past/Present clients
Hired by Sunnyland Tours to do a 10 minute promo film of their Crocodile Nile river cruise ship in Egypt, by VW Tours to do a ten minute promo video of their MS Vampolov cruise ship sailing on Lake Baikal in Irkutsk, Siberia and by Citadel Press to write two (Vacations & Cruising) travel guides. Partial Travel BIO: England, Scotland, Paris-Lyon-Provence, Greek Islands, Egypt, Petra, Isreal, China, Hong Kong, Thailand (Bangkok and Chiang Mai), Cruises including Rio to San Diego (32 days $2,089 each), Maui, Moorea, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Spain and Alaska, Canada et al.

What do you like about this subject?  NEW EXPERTISE SECTION: We enjoy Free global & domestic air travel 95% of the time and have authored two bargain TRAVEL GUIDES (Author's web site: cheaptravel.net) During the past 5 years we have traveled around the globe six months per year! Since Free travel beats 'discount' fares we DO NOT specialize in 'last minute' air fare deals.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  We savor and foster the fun and joy of FREE domestic but mostly GLOBAL travel. Sharing the 'word' with our FREE Steve & Pat's Cheap Travel Newsletter now in its 9th year.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Do you know that a FREE award flight, for example NY to Maui, entitles you to enjoy a second 'extra' FREE flight ie. from Maui to San Franfisco or to any other U.S. destination before your final FREE flight home?
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  We booked RT FREE Maui flights + extra FREE flights to NY. Our friends with the same miles available for free flights were denied and had to pay $700 EACH.
