Peter Greenberg Signs on as AARP Magazine Travel Editor

"AARP members are active, adventurous and on-the-go, said Emilio Pardo, Chief Brand Officer, AARP. "These savvy travelers seek up-to-date advice and insights to make their trips more enjoyable, affordable and safe. Peter is absolutely the perfect expert to provide that service. His knowledge and expertise will provide our members with wide ranging information designed to make their travel experiences truly unforgettable."

Perhaps best known for his contributions on NBC's Today Show, Greenberg is also the author of the New York Times bestselling Travel Detective series. His latest book is the Complete Travel Detective Bible. Among his many duties as travel editor at large, Greenberg will serve as travel editor at large for AARP The Magazine and write a bi-monthly travel column titled "The Contrarian Traveler." He will also record audio pod casts of columns and features for the http://www.aarp.org web site, along with an online Q&A column. Additionally, members will be able to access a weekly "AARP travel minute" online, as well as 15 minutes of weekly highlights from Peter's nationally syndicated radio program, now heard on more than 150 stations across the U.S. Topics will range from tips and tricks on how to get the most from your airline to which brochures don't tell the truth, to how to fight back against undisclosed surcharges and fees, to experiential pieces on everything from unusual hotel services to the boom in culinary travel. Members will also get the chance to interact with Greenberg in person at AARP Magazine's national Life@50+ event in Washington DC this September.

"I'm not just a road warrior who flies more than 400,000 real air miles a year," says Greenberg. "I'm also a boomer. We don't travel the way our parents traveled. We travel because we think it's our birthright. And we want to travel to as many places and as many times as we can. But we don't want to be victims in the process. Hopefully, I can give AARP members the information and the tools they need to have the best travel experiences possible."
