On
Web pro News I watched a video about StumbleUpon.com. I’ve used the
SU when I want to find new and fresh sites and sometimes just because I was
bored. Now I just learned how SU can increase “hits” to websites!
The interviewee proclaimed that StumbleUpon “always been around “----for
a couple of years or so.” In today’s world of rapid change (that
sometimes translates into positive results and sometimes not), two years is a
very long time.
In
truth, 2 years can be a long time in the world of travel, too. How do we stay
current on the world? Does the delightful couple we met in Ravello still own
that delicious trattoria---and is it still delicious? Is Andrei still
conducting walking tours in Florence? Truth be told, I cannot and choose not to
even try to stay current on every change, opening or closing that occurs in the
world. I have a few areas of interest and each of us at Great Getaways focuses
on his/her passion. I firmly believe in Jack of all trades, master of none.
AND---even for my areas of expertise (Africa, Antarctica, Galapagos, and
Space---with a splash of China and India), I don’t rely on my knowledge
alone!
Because
of our membership in Virtuoso, a dynamic group of the top travel advisors in
the world, I have representatives in over 70 countries. So, looking for the
best vegetarian restaurant in Katmandu? No problem, my friend, Pawan, can not
only tell me which is the best, he can tell me the chef’s name!
