And the Unny winners are…
Photo by UnTourist Ron Anderson As you may know, we had the inaugural Unny Awards just recently. These awards are our way of recognizing the regions which have welcomed UnTours all these years.

Here come the Unny Awards!
Since I started working here way back in 2011, the UnTours regions have been calling on me to give them some attention. Actually, not just attention, but distinction. Now, I know they are all big enough to speak for themselves. They don’t need you to tell them they’re great; we all already know that. What…

Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour? When Marilee asked me some questions about our experiences with UnTours, the review of memories turned out to be fun for the most part, funny in some aspects, and always enlightening.

Vickie Kelber, Renaissance Woman
Vickie Kelber, our UnTourist of the week has to be, pound for pound, one of the top contenders for the best photographer/writer we have among our many, many talented UnTourists. She does both of them fabulously. We’re all the more lucky, then, that she takes lots of pictures and usually writes a blog that she…
Our Untourist of the Week, Doris M! (her Untours Cafe moniker)
This week’s UnTourist of the Week, Doris Matick because of her lovely photos of Spain that you see in the slideshow below. But when we asked her for her UnTour impressions, she went all over the map. Which is not to say, she doesn’t love Spain. Check out her wonderful blog post on UnTours Cafe,…
