I have a bet with my boss. Double our facebook fans and I get a long weekend off - thinking of going to Berlin.
Please LIKE The Florentine - the newspaper about Florence and Italy - we're offering a giveaway too.

For info - for anyone who ends up on this page - FB has quietly removed the 25 fan limitation for the custom URL. So anyone can now go ahead and set it!

I think when I tell my new co-nationals (italians) that i'm from canada, they think of stuff like this. Thanks for helping convince them that we drive without licenses ;-) I"m from toronto. It's like new york, only 10 hours north...

Alexandra Korey commented on Thomas Dowson's group 'Art & Travel'
Hi art and travel folks!
I was recently interviewed for an art history blog written by an Austranlian amateur lover of art history. He asked me some good questions about why I write in the style I've chosen, and about the nexus between art and…
Alexandra Korey replied to Alexandra Korey's discussion 'Challenges in blogging about art?' in the group Art & Travel
oh my gosh, i created a reaction!
Sorry, enthused by the rarity of the moment, I thought i'd share the excitement with my fellow struggling art bloggers. I wrote a post about some sculptures placed in the Tuscan landscape - I like them a lot,…
A rare example of stimulating response to art on my blog - people actually HATED these sculptures! http://ow.ly/2xnDF

Alexandra Korey commented on Robert Downes's blog post 'Travelers may disagree with Newsweek's "Best Countries in the World"'
hah, i wonder where Italy ranks. We have great healthcare (well, free medicine and doctors, but outdated buildings), good education (well actually they have been trying to cut that, berlusconi prefers stupid people), great quality of life thanks to…
Alexandra Korey commented on Alexandra Korey's blog post 'How I got a job blogging for an entire region and not just for myself'
Thank you everyone! (and @Joanne, your comment cracked me up).
I honestly didn't expect any reaction at all to this post and am a bit embarrassed by all the attention, but glad to have made new contacts with all of you and to be a bit more…

- I am currently working as a staff writer for the longest-running English language newspaper in Florence, Italy: The Florentine. I also work as a social media manager for clients in the fashion and artisan industry, creating custom blog content for them.
From Nov 2009 to Feb 2011, For the Region of Tuscany I wrote the official blog for the arts (http://arts.allthingstuscany.com) as part of an extended social media campaign for tourism promotion.
For my own interest, i keep up arttrav (since 2004) which is about all of Italy, though has evolved to be primarily about the expat experience in Florence.
I finally realized that I'm actually a travel writer and that this might be my real calling so I created a website "CV" to showcase my work: http://alexandrakorey.wordpress.com/
Arttrav welcomes offers for paid advertising and blog trips via email to info (at) arttrav.com.

Another blog I write
I am the online editor for the blog side of the print magazine http://www.illywords.com
Illywords (since 2002) is a contemporary art and life magazine owned by illy coffee in Italy. With the blog, we hope to generate conversation about the art, food, and people of interest to the illy community, and so I hope you'll join us on the blog or related facebook fan page (facebook.com/illywords). Thanks! see you there...

How I got a job blogging for an entire region and not just for myself
This morning I changed my profile 'photo" on TBEX from the logo of my personal blog, arttrav, to my photo. Because I now write three blogs, and I'm writing professionally and full time. How did this happen?

Sustainable travel ideas from arttrav.com
The following is a post I wrote today for my website arttrav.com - what I describe as an "Italy. art. travel. life. magazine". (You can read the post in its original form, with photos, links and all, here)
How often do you associate eco-tourism or sustainable travel with the great art cities of Italy? Perhaps not as often as you would with, say, the Amazonian… Continue
