Westporter Launches Online Travel Magazine

A Westport-based travel writer has launched a new travel Web site that features high tech animation and cinematic-quality short films to provide a vivid portrayal of travel experiences.

Susan Farewell said her “FarewellTravels: Select Escapes” is really an online travel magazine that seeks to use multimedia elements to showcase travel suggestions.

“My job as a travel writer is to capture the essence of what a place is like,” said Farewell, whose past travel writing mostly has been confined to glossy magazines.

“In the past, I’ve relied on prose and still photography. What we’re doing here takes travel reporting to a whole new dimension.”

The films and animations are created by a sister company, Strategic FilmWorks, which was founded by husband Tom Seligson.

The site covers a wide range of travel destinations.

“People always ask me where they should go,” said Farewell. “Now they can go to FarewellTravels and find exactly what they are looking for, whether it’s for family vacations or romantic getaway weekends.”

The site, whose “cover” was designed by fellow Westporter Miggs Burroughs, features an animated map of the Greek island of Folegandros.

Farewell said the site already has subscribers in 10 countries and 33 states.
