Why I travel
Monday, March 8, 2010 at 5:12PM
This year already looks like it going to be a year of Travel, just like last year was.
I have had a great visit to Venice where I met up with Renato Piccolotto the chef of the Cipriani and Barry Frangipane of Savory adventures in Venice. I've been to Milan, to Zurich, Lugano, Como, Pisa, Viareggio Lucca, London, Tuscany, Verona, Venice the list goes on and on. I plan a trip to Chile and South Africa to write on their fab wines in Summer. I have the web conferences from Paris to london and Rome.
What makes me do It? well apart from the opportunity to taste all that great wine, food and culture which I'm facinated by, theres always new people to meet. Some I have known online from blogging and tweeting for years, and then get to meet them in person and thats always exciting, and some I simply meet along the way in the real world.
Twitter has put me in touch with thousands of people across the globe who have something in common with me and so far I have met 700 of them in person and counting.
Care to tell us why and where you travel?
Happy travels

It was wonderful meeting you in Venice. Maybe we will meet again with Chef Dolce Debbie in Piemonte!
My travelling is still limited besides in the Netherlands - but that doesn't count - it cal all be done in 2 hours :)
- will be at SOBCon end April http://SOBevent.com
- hopefully meeting you and others again at leWeb in December
That's all the international travels planned for now.
yes- viva Twitter and Facebook for connecting us in italy with the world and those that love italy- works both ways- they win having friends in italy- we win getting to share our chosen new country with others.
yesterday we did a twitter-up, meeting in panzano for the artisan market and lunch at cecchini- we were 24 strong! too of the dining rooms at solociccia!
here are the foto's!

Dear Barry Erno and Judy representing my large twitter family, thanks for your stories and inspiration. I will be travelling your way soon. Keep the food hot! Donna
Glad I met you in the real world Donna.
I'm always on the go so I'm sure we'll meetup again somewhere someday!
