Oh my. This is absolutely great. And you’ve shown me how far I still have to go! I can also attest to the fact that you are a highly supportive, encouraging and positive addition to the Twitter travel community.
I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for opportunities for you, Simon.
Thank you for your kind words, Gwen. It’s a real pleasure to read them because there’s so much passion in what I do. Hope our paths will cross soon. It would be great to spend a little time together and share our views on blogging, travel and social media.
Cheers!
