Building on his successful second career as a writer of humorous travel books, David Dodge was a regular, and frequent, contributor to Holiday magazine for over 20 years. As an inveterate globe-trotter, Dodge was ideally suited to writing the types of articles popular with the editors. His short travel pieces often feature the same characteristics as his book-length travel adventures: personal — often funny — anecdotes, penny-pinching tips, and sensitive observations of local color and characters. Although Holiday was Dodge’s most frequent patron, he also wrote travel articles for Collier’s, Vogue, and Clipper (the in-flight magazine of Pan American Airways). Late in his career, he contributed essays for Fodor’s guidebooks to Morocco and Mexico. His article in the volume for Mexico appeared annually for at least a decade after his death.
