Congratulations to Sean McLachlan, whose story “Video Games With a Refugee” won the Personal Comment Gold Award in this year’s Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards. The awards are given annually by the Society of American Travel Writers. Sean’s story was part of his a 17-day journey across Iraq in search of “adventure, archaeology and AK-47s.”
Gadling and AOL Travel contributors David Farley, Doug Mack and Elaine Glusac also captured awards.
