Rachel Carter, owner and principal of the Vermont public
relations, social media, and grassroots marketing business,
Rachel Carter PR, is working with respected travel writer, Christina
Tree, to co-author the 13th edition of Vermont, An Explorer's Guide
slated for publication in 2012.
Rachel, known for her travels across the state in the nationally
recognized Vermont Vibes Blog will be documenting her guidebook research
and adventures on the Vermont Vibes Blog new website --
http://www.vermontvibesblog.com.
As the media landscape Rachel often speaks about to Vermont businesses
continues to shift, she has launched a new website offering both
professional and amateur Vermont media a web based news feed at
www.rachelcarterpr.com.
"It's great to work with someone already so familiar with and
enthusiastic about Vermont, especially a person who can bring the
perspective of a blogger to exploring this exceptional state in depth,"
Chris Tree observes.
Chris Tree launched the Explorer Guides series for Countryman Press more
than 30 years ago. In 1983 Vermont, An Explorer's Guide, was the
first guidebook to the Green Mountain State to include lodging and
dining as well as attractions, activities, shopping and just about
anything else of interest to resident or "from away" explorers. She has
regularly updated the guide and in the process has contributed dozens
for articles about Vermont to the Boston Globe and for Yankee
Magazine. Chris and Rachel met at the 2010 Vermont Travel Industry
Conference where they were both workshop presenters.
Rachel is on the planning committee for the 2011 Vermont Travel Industry
Conference being held in Burlington April 12th -- 14th. She is also a
2010 recipient of the Vermont Business Magazine Rising Star Award.
The Countryman Press is Vermont's oldest name in publishing. The

Jennison's farmhouse kitchen. In 1996 they became a division of W.W.
Norton & Company, Inc., the country's oldest and largest publishing
house owned by its employees. The Countryman Press retains its own
identity with editorial and production offices in Woodstock, Vermont and
