TBEX in Prague is a No ... But London is a Go

Well some things just weren't meant to work out... Sadly, I just had to make the tough decision to cancel having a TBEX Europe event in Prague this year.

 

But there is good news!

 

We're still working on details as to date and time, but we'll have a mini TBEX Europe half-day event during the week of…

Ever Wanted to See a Wild Polar Bear?

We've got a fun new Galavanting.tv episode out ... and it was quite the adventure. After a 48-hour train ride from Winnipeg, Lonely Planet's Robert Reid and I made it up to the subarctic little town of Churchill which sits on Canada's Hudson Bay.

Let the adventures begin...…

TBEX Europe Speakers & Workshops



We've been busy bees working behind the scenes to pull together our first-ever TBEX Europe, which you may know by now will be held 4-6 November, in lovely Copenhagen, Denmark!



Yes, it's a quick turnaround, but we wanted to get a meeting in before the holidays and without making it too close to TBEX… Continue

Don George, Kim Mance & Jim Benning at TBEX '10 For anyone who attended TBEX '10 in NYC this June, the memory of the "Travel Writing: Upping Your Game" panel which kicked off our Saturday morning session wouldn't be the same without Don George.



Formerly the global editor for Lonely Planet, Don has set a standard and literally… Continue

Hi kim, 
Thanks for following up. I just hate it when people abuse a great initiative like tbex. You may want to check out 'alden' who seems part of farebuzz. Cheers and good luck with tbex! Hope to make it to colorado although it is a long haul for me. All the best, Eric

Hi Kim,

 

How are you?

Could you check the activity of Farebuzz on Travel Blog Exchange? These guys are seriously spamming the blog and members. I get like 10 mails every week promoting their CRAP articles. Just read the articles, they are so poor quality. Seems like low quality material solely placed on Tbex to dump as many of their SEO keywords on a google PR 5 website as part of a SEO internet marketing campaign. This is really deteriorating the quality of TBEX and will scare away many members. Also please note that I got like 15 link building requests from them. Even after indicating not to be interested.

 

Thanks for looking into this and best regards,

 

Eric Bobek

Hi Kim,

 

I was wondering how many of Chris Elliott's picks from his recent "The 11 best new travel blogs of 2011" are TBEX members?  I was honored to be chosen as one of the 11 and it's great to be a TBEX member.  (Sorry, having trouble adding long links here)

 

www.elliott.org/blog/the-11-best-new-travel-blogs-of-2011/#more-18610

 

Sorry I couldn't make it to Vancouver this year but I was in India on a FAM trip, hope to see you at the next one.

 

Cheers,


Ralph

Hi, Kim! Thank you for adding me as a friend. I'm really enjoying the TBEX site and community; was crushed that I missed TBEX '10 in NYC by just a few days. Hoping to be able to make it in '11.

Thank you for creating such a great source for travel writers!

Wow this website is so cool. I just found it and going to tell my friends :)

Do you know other websites that could impress me like this? I'm interested in travel + tech. I just started a blog too!

Hi Kim!

Thanks for the recording advise! I think what we need to do is a few 'practice' movies just to get comfortable in front of the camera and to see what it looks like when you go to edit it. I find that when I'm shooting it seems like I have everything I will need until later on when editing I want to kick myself because some obvious and critical thing is missing :) I guess practice makes perfect.

Hi Kim- Would love to come to the TBEX conference, and congrats on the initiative, but unfortunately (or indeed fortunately) I shall be gallivanting around Brazil checking out beautiful new pousadas (places to stay) for www.hiddenpousadasbrazil.com Next stop Amazon lodges, then off to a few deserted beaches in Bahia, finishing in the mountains near Rio. If you want to come down this way sometime, just let me know.
Cheers
Alison
