Instead, I suggested that I blog about key learnings from the conference which I felt would benefit my readers and community. I was given free registration for the conference, though I paid all travel expenses out of pocket – quite a hit on my credit card. Without you, the community around Almost Savvy is nothing.

.&# I was able to catch up virtually with an old friend from high school who now has a beautiful family and a fascinating career, a dear friend I met while traveling in Europe some 30 years ago (and whom I may have tried to encourage to break a few rules while in East Berlin) who is now doing great things working for the U.S.

Just check it out: [link] I also blog myself about marketing (click my name above) and then I have a personal travel blog which I don’t update too often. Reply Hjortur Smarason says: May 3, 2009 at 1:54 pm Yes, it’s true. My dog does have a blog.

This applies to conferences, travel, everyday running around town. (A million thanks to the mystery woman who found my phone and to my new BFF , Mark Pedrelli , for returning it to me.) Whatever you do, think about how the device might be returned to you if lost.

People ask for travel recommendations, advice how to fix a problem with their blog and everything in-between. This makes you more human and I’m more likely to want to get to know a human with a real life than one who only talks business all day long. Be a Good Twitizen – Twitter is a fabulous place to ask for help.

To kick things off, I’ll share that I once spent 18 months traveling on my own through Europe and the Middle East. I’d only planned to travel for about 3 weeks. Thanks, Irene for creating community once again! Traveling together to Rio and Bariloche. Everest, whatever – it is up to you.

Personally, I look forward to traveling beside you – all of you – and sharing our experiences along the way. In my previous role as a online community advisor, our demographic was an inverted bell curve, we had about an equal number of 60+ and 20- members. The one thing we all will become, if we are so fortunate, is old.
