I have added your blog under a new 'draft' heading of "recommended travel blogs outside italy" and will write a post when I have a decent number of blogs in the new list.
I'll let you know when the post is published.
From a sunny evening at Casa Dolcetto in Piemonte,
Ciao,
Adrian

How soon is too soon to start attending conferences and events?
I have a 2 month old travel blog that I have been working very hard to establish. What I am trying to figure out is how soon is too soon to start attending travel events and conferences?Will it be a boost to my blog at this point, or will it be a relative waste of time? Is it too soon to start networking and making contacts?
