Travel Extraordinaire

My passion for travel, radio…and talking has all come together at “Let’s Travel”. Previous to being Host and Executive Producer of “Let’s Travel”, I was director of public relations/advertising/marketing in the non-profit sector, for the American Cancer Society and the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), as well as working at various PR firms including Ruder & Finn.

While at the Society I won an Emmy for “Sophisticated Lady”, an anti-smoking public service announcement; created and produced the “American Cancer Society Radio News Service”, a weekly “cancer minute” of interviews with leading cancer researchers and clinicians; was associate producer on various video projects, and directed the Society’s Public Awareness Council of Celebrities. 

At AFB I won a Silver Anvil Award from the Public Relations Society of America for a cause-related series of workshop between AFB, the Lipton Company and Helena Rubenstein which we taught blind women to cook and apply make-up. The Gallery section of this Web site contains some of my photographs which I have exhibited at various venues in New York City.

Catherine Perebinossoff

Producer

I was born to travel...first traveling when barely six weeks old, then traveling to France at the age of three.  Since then, I have continued to travel here and abroad, e.g., living and studying in France.  Having worked in the financial world, e.g., Citibank and I.D.E.A., marketing FX products, including currency derivatives, I have a keen interest and love of the world, now named the Global Economy, The Global Village. 

My love of the arts reinforce my international and multi-national views.  Short of traveling is there a better, a more complete way to experience other cultures than by its arts, especially seeing  the interrelationships between the arts, cultures, and countries?  Impressionism would  not have been Impressionism without photography or Japanese woodcuts, thus East Does Meet West.  Presently with "Let's Travel", an Internet Radio Show, thus defying time and distance, and my tailor-made tour and event concern, www.newyorkcity-tours.com, I continue to travel far and wide.

Jared Lerner

Webmaster

I've always liked designing websites as a hobby ever since I was young, and I was definitely excited to start one up from scratch for Let's Travel. I have done other freelance work in the past but rarely have I been this involved doing so. It's been a nice experience so far and I expect it to continue to be in the future.

In May of 2007 I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and a second major in Accounting. I currently work as a Software Support Engineer for a financial services company called Sungard down by the Wall Street area. I have been with them for a few months now and I really enjoy the job a lot. Despite my full-time job obligations, I am always willing to spare some free time to do some web design, which I get to do at my job sometimes but not very often. I hope to continue updating this site and several others for a while to come. Feel free to email me at Jared531@gmail.com.
