Welcome from the Publisher
Welcome to EXPLORE’s all new website!
As the magazine has grown, so has our need for a new website, so finally after months of “tinkering”, I’m so proud to be able to welcome you to our site. As you can see, it has undergone an amazing facelift, and I hope that you find it insightful, user-friendly, and informative. If you have a need for a new website, I’d like to suggest J2O Designs, which did an amazing job redoing EXPLORE’s site.
You can view/read all the articles, see the Calendar in a much easier layout, download every issue, and even subscribe to EXPLORE.
So please, look around, and enjoy yourself.
All the best,
