Welcome to the new Gadling!

Well hello there! Like the new digs? Over the past few weeks we've been working hard redesigning Gadling.com to create a better, more interactive, fluid experience for you. The first thing that you'll notice is that the panel and the pictures are wider, meaning broader, more beautiful Photos of the Day, better illustrations and better communication with you, the reader.

After you scroll through today's stories, check out the MAP right above this, which will link you to stories from around the world including our most recent dispatches from all corners of the planet. Other tabs bring you the latest, newest news and stories from travel community, curated by our expert team of savvy travel bloggers.

Make sure you also check out the Photos tab, where you can see a database of the most recent Photos of the Day and also scroll through some of the amazing galleries that we've put together over the years.

Stick around, make yourself comfortable and let us know what you think in the comments!

Love,

Gadling
