Ever stumbled upon the perfect café, sequestered deep in the quietest corner of a buzzing city, and just had to share the secret? Ever wanted to be part of that secret? Travelistas Lynn Lau and Abby Bender combine their journalism and travel experiences to bring readers Notes From A Café: Travel stories from the deep end, a refreshing cure to the usual stodgy travel resources. Notes From A Café revolves around the love of travel, with articles covering countries from Belgium to Norway to Malaysia, along with tips and resources to fellow travelers interested in the non-touristy side of exploring the world.
Celebrating the joie de vivre of traipsing the globe, Lynn and Abby feature their stories and secrets under headings such as “Voyage Vignettes” (focusing on the thick and thin of personal travel accounts), “Foreign Foibles” (cultural gaffes and taboos), “Travel Tips” (a grab-bag of information and suggestions for travelers), and “Roaming Reviews” (frank guides on true must-see’s and definite stay-away-from’s).
Lynn and Abby also note traveling trends and share useful links, not to mention answer questions by readers, who also get the chance to submit their own travel stories and experiences to Notes From A Café. Lynn and Abby are not paid to endorse any particular place or product, so whether it’s a rave or a slam, readers know they’re getting the honest scoop.

 | Lynn Lau grew up on an oil palm plantation in tropical Malaysia, lived in a section of the Midwest quite infamous for its winters, then moved even further north to Canada where there is less snow. Yes, she is as surprised as you are about it. By the age of 7, she had ridden Sabahan rivers, pottered along Southeast Asian rainforests, led friends down laterite plantation roads, flown over oceans, and the appeal has never left. When she is not busy getting on a plane, she spends most days as an artist. |
 | Abby Bender likes to pretend she’s from France, but is actually from Suburbia, Midwest. That hasn’t stopped her from winning roles in numerous stage productions, doing lead vocals for theatrical performances, and even managing PR work for a French abbey or two. She is currently a writer for Hallmark Cards, Inc. |
