Friends, Travelers, Matadorians!

A big welcome back to our weekly newsletter: Traverse. Some of you might remember that we used to send out a Traverse newsletter every couple of weeks during 2007-2008. Over the last year, as we've put our development efforts into expanding the Matador Network, we needed a break from this newsletter, but now we're back in effect!

Please enjoy this new, optimized Traverse where we meet new travelers, check up on MatadorTV, learn how one filmmaker is traveling around looking for God, and decide whether free solo climbing is worth the risk. Take a few minutes and travel with us.
