THE TBEX COMMUNITY:::
Travel Bloggers/Writers are a unique breed of people, part explorer, part chronicler, all insatiable curiosity. But we are not all the same. Travel Bloggers have as many unique interests as there are places to visit around the globe. And TBEX is the perfect place to share your blog, pictures, experiences and to ask questions.
THE ANNUAL EVENT:::
Food, fun and great speakers will
abound at our second annual event for new media travel writers to
network and learn,
TBEX '11 will be
held June 11-12, 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Event
