Goodbye, Valerie Conners. Welcome, Eva Holland.

Travel Blog  •  World Hum  •  05.01.09 | 5:32 PM ET

Our anniversary-celebration week ends with some mixed emotions. Senior editor and producer Valerie Conners leaves us today for a spell back at the TravelChannel.com mother ship. It’s tough to see her go. She brought a keen editorial eye, production wizardry and a love of pirates and 80s music to World Hum. It would be hard to overstate her work on the site redesign. We couldn’t have done it, and so much more, without her. Thank you, Valerie! We’ll miss you.

On the upside, Valerie—until now, World Hum’s lead tweeter—will still be tweeting for us every now and then at @worldhum. So will our interim senior editor, Eva Holland. You likely already know Eva. She’s been a sharp, prolific contributor to the World Hum blog since September 2007. She’ll still be writing about everything from pop culture to travel literature for the blog. But she’ll also be editing the blog and feature stories for the site. Her passion for travel and travel writing is infectious, and her talents are immense. We’re looking forward to more of her contributions to the site. Welcome, Eva!

Buh-bye, Valerie. I don’t know much about what you did for Worldhum, but I’ll miss you too. :)

So Miss Holland is a worldhum big shot now, eh? Don’t screw up, Canuck. We’ll be watching you…closely.

Buena suerte, Senorita Val.
