DC Travel Happy Hour

by Dave on November 2, 2009 · 10 comments

Recently, I’ve had the chance to meet a lot of wonderful travel enthusiasts, writers, editors, photographers, bloggers, and tweeters in New York City and Washington, DC.  Topics of conversation often included travel (duh!), media (print and online), blogging, freelance writing, non-conformity, and Moo cards.

With that in mind, and an excitable co-host in Stephanie from Twenty-Something Travel to share in the experience, it is time to take a hand in organizing a tweetup.

If you’re reading this and live in the DC-metro area, Stephanie and I would like to meet you!

It's a small world, we may end up meeting sooner rather than later. :)

You rock, Ms. excitable co-host. We shall rally the travel troops and storm the Liberty Tavern like it was 1776.

I really wish I could make it — unfortunately, I have a prior engagement that night. I'll take a rain check for the next one, okay?

That's what I always say: Social Media, like blogging Connecting People – so I wish I could be there!

Btw 1: I’m here from @foxnomad Tweet and since new here: Hello from Norway :-)

Btw 2: Since you love travelling: Your welcome to the Oslo Blog Gathering 2010!

Hey Renny,
Thanks for checking out GoBackpacking. I've found Twitter is the easiest social network yet, to go from chatting briefly to meeting up in person. Maybe that's why I'm enjoying it so much.

Hope to make it to Norway someday!

A good friend recently bought me a great map/guide for Washington DC that came with special code to access an online database at http://www.alacartemaps.com, ideal for creating your own itinerary
