WEBSITE CONTRIBUTOR:  

He is particularly proud that he has never held elective office, is beholden to no one except his bride, or spent one dime of your tax dollars gallivanting around the world.

Bernard Venom is a seasoned shopper having purchased many a“Rolax” (Rolex) and “an occasional bargain-steal Patek Philippe” (with Timex parts) from “Dockside Freddy’s Trench Coat Emporium,” as the ship’s whistle blew and the cruise ship was about to sail.  

Mr. Venom has spent the past thirty years as a travel agent, tour company administrator for several major tour companies and, more recently, as owner-operator of his own international tour company. He has published a number of award-winning travel articles, including “Photographing the Taj Mahal on a Hazy, Polluted Day Before Noon,” “Endangered Romantic Bridges around the World from Which to Leap,” and “Beat It! A Selective Guide to Ward Off and Shortchange Pesky Panhandlers,” for subscription travel newsletters Ah-hum! (3).

He is a Graduate of the Huntington Academy of Psychological Travel, has a Post-graduate degree in The Necessary but Preferred Sacrifices Incurred in Enduring Minimalistic Green/Eco Tourism, and a PhX in “Do It Right or Stay Home if You’re Searching for a Savings Plan.”

He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1997 for his controversial field study and feature article on whether a human can outrun a bear, and timing how fast one must swim when confronted by a piranha. Not one to avoid controversy, and perhaps in character with his unique name, Savvy Mr. Venom is known for his outspoken, often times pithy, provocative remarks, that tend to add spice and bite to his writings. Oh yes, and maybe even an intermittent laugh!
