G'day Fulton, It's been a while since I last wrote an intro to this newsletter, but I am stoked to be back! Olivia asked me to write something this week since BootsnAll, as a company, is going up to Vancouver, BC next week for a travel bloggers conference (TBEX, if you've heard of it). Our goal is to continue to listen and learn from independent travelers, and this conference is a great chance to do it in-person.
So I have three requests for you: - If you are going, and want to meet up, hit reply and let me know.
- If you are not going, but want to know what a collection of 600 of the world's most dedicated travel bloggers are thinking and talking about during this conference, follow our coverage on Twitter.
- If you have feedback about this newsletter - love it, think it's ok, think it sucks, ideas for improvement - hit reply and let me know. The five best ideas will be published on our blog next week and we'll link to your blog or twitter page.
Cheers and hope to connect soon,
Sean
BootsnAll CEO
