TRAVERSE Issue 15 - December 2019 | Page 5

EDITORIAL TRAVERSE: I t ' s T ime T o G row T he time has come for Traverse to move on, to grow up and become self-sustaining. Changes will be coming in the new year. Since Traverse came into being our ethos has always been to supply quality writing and images, and as a publication that is independent of large corporate or manufacturer involvement we’ve always been of the belief that Traverse should be available to all at an issue and advertising price that isn’t dependant of shareholder satisfaction, for two years we’ve been able to achieve this however, rising production costs has meant that we’ve had to make a tough decision; as of Issue 16 (February 2020) Traverse will be charged at AU$2.99 per issue or AU$14.99 per annual subscription. Less than $15.00 for a 12-month subscription, six issues of great stories of travel and adventure; pretty good value. As a current reader of Traverse we are offering you a further 30% discount on the subscription price, that means you can still receive 6 issues of Traverse for the low cost of AU$10.50 (US$6.99 / EU$7.69) – six TRAVERSE 5 issues of inspiring stories for less than the cost of a pint of beer or two cups of coffee. This offer is valid until the end of the year (December 31, 2019) using the coupon code - PPKPU3LK4HJ7 at sign up. We hope that you’ll continue to support Traverse and the many wonderful travellers and story tellers that help inspire us all. In the meantime enjoy issue 15 of Traverse and the stories of inspiration; the women riders who crossed the Simpson Desert for Dolly, the crazy man and his Mutt, or the lads that rode around the world in a tiny Honda scooter-sidecar outfit to raise awareness of modern day slavery, and of course all of the great stories of travel and all by two wheels. Ride on. Leigh
