This is Seth Kugel a Frugal Traveler journalist for the New York Times. It was not easy to get to where he is at, Kugal had to work very hard to where he has ended up. It all started with studying political science at Yale where he was awarded best senior essay and right after became a bilingual teacher teaching English. Went to Harvard Kennedy School for masters in public policy degree. But who knew he wouldn't start as a journalist? He still had a long way because he worked for Immigrant services project and child protection. Where it all really started was as a freelancing gig, where he started writing for many different places like New York Times, Times Out New York, Bronx for the city and many others. He even ended up being called “Latino food expert” for writing about food in Times out New York. Next, a book was written by Kugel named “The complete guide to Latino life in the five boroughs”. During the same time, Kugel taught journalism interviewing techniques, and wrote for the travel section in Times. Kugel relocated himself to Sao Paulo, Brazil to continue for the travel section of Times, and as a correspondent for international news. Finally in June of 2010 Kugel took over Frugal travel section in the New York Times where it started with a 13 week trip to New York.
