| Meet the Frommers | 
Arthur Frommer's career in travel began when he was drafted into the U.S. Army just shortly after his graduation from the Yale University Law School, at the time of the Korean War. Trained to fight in Korea, his linguistic abilities caused him to be assigned instead to U.S. Army Intelligence in Germany. In the course of that service, Arthur's love of travel blossomed and he constantly found great cheap places to stay across Europe. In his spare time, he wrote The GI's Guide to Traveling in Europe, which was an instant success and opened up European travel to the many servicemen stationed in Europe.
Pauline Frommer is the creator of the new budget travel guidebook series The Pauline Frommer guides, which show travelers how they can "See More and Spend Less."
