It’s been a busy holiday season – in addition to eating all the chocolate, cheese and clementines I could get my paws on, I’ve been neck-deep in the hallowed media tradition of the year-end list(s). We had a raft of 2009 send-off content on World Hum:
The Best Travel Books of 2009
World Hum’s 2009 Travelers of the Year: Travel Bloggers
World Hum’s 21 Most Read Features of 2009 (Check me out at #19 and #20)
R.I.P. 2009: From Mercedes Sosa to Frank McCourt
The Best Travel Videos of 2009 (Some really great stuff in this one!)
I also pulled together this selection of TSA-related tweets in the wake of the attempted Christmas undie-bombing:
Seven Great Tweets About the New TSA Regulations
And on a non-travel related note, I’ve tried and (so far) failed to pull together some thoughts on movies in the 2000s. As a stand-in, here are some of the “Best of the Decade/Year” movie lists I’ve enjoyed:
The Big Picture’s Top Ten Films of 2009
Dana Stevens: The Best Movies of the Year and the Decade
It Takes a Hero: The 20 Best Films of the Decade
Maybe I’ll get around to posting something about my favourite flicks of the year/decade later this weekend. Maybe I’ll even find time to make some New Year’s resolutions… (Resolution #1: Procrastinate less.)
In the meantime, Happy New Year! Here’s to 2010.

Hey Eva,
Don’t expect you to publish this, lol.
I didn’t see any email or contact info for you.
My name’s Mike Dickson, and I’m from Vancouver, B.C.
I’m looking at heading back to Vanuatu after a life-changing experience there, and hearing about similar experiences with others. I plan on writing about it.
Just wanted to maybe ask you a bit about about travel writing and World Hum?
If you get a chance.
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. If you make it here for the O’s, I’ll buy you a beer or 2, or maybe 3:)
Hey Mike,
Sure thing! Drop me a line at eva@worldhum.com – happy to answer any questions, though I should warn you I’m sometimes a pretty slow responder. (There’s another New Year’s resolution – answer email promptly.)
And I would happily take you up on that beer (those beers) in Van! Talk soon.
