ABOUT THE TRAVEL MAVENS

The website name, Maven, comes from a Yiddish and Hebrew word. Malcolm Gladwell used it in his book, "The Tipping Point," to describe mavens as intense gatherers of information and impressions.

A maven has been defined as a person who is passionate about passing on knowledge to others.

That's the goal of the Travel Mavens.
