Susan Raphael, Traveler 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, Senior 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, New York City Tours, I continue to travel far and wide.








Jared Lerner, Senior 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. Out of college I worked as a Software Support Engineer for a financial services company named Sungard down by the Wall Street area. It was a support role that had a lot of client interaction, system tweaking and monitoring and usability maintenance on a large financial trading platform. I am currently working as a Professional Services Consultant for a another company named Confirmit, one of the leading survey software companies in the world. In my spare time I still enjoy updating this site and several others. Feel free to email me at Jared531@gmail.com.

Barry Goldsmith, Let's Travel's Architectural History/Humor Guru

Professor Barry Goldsmith is America's only professor of both architecture and humor. He is both an architect and an architectural historian who has hosted travel and culture series in both the USA and UK. One of his architecture courses, Great Planned Cities, is being made into his most recent TV series that he is hosting.Goldsmith disseminates knowledge in an entertaining and memorable way. He believes that travel, especially for leisure, should be fun. He has written for many TV shows, from The Joan Rivers Show to the Late Show with David Letterman -- and even comedy for the BBC.

Goldsmith also knows when to be serious -- when he writes his numerous articles on architecture for publications like USA Today, The New York Times and The Jerusalem Post. National, regional and city tourist boards, the experts on tourism to their locales, respect Prof. Goldsmith's knowledge so much that they enlist him to lead press trips on all six continents. Besides teaching at New York University, Prof. Goldsmith has lectured at major museums and universities around the world.
