More about Me and Todd's Wanderings
I'm a compulsive traveler who has been living abroad for the past 10 years. I started straight out of university and spent 5 years teaching English in Japan. Switching careers I jumped into the exciting world of human rights and conflict management. Since then I have worked in Thailand, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Sri Lanka and now Kosovo.
I am now exploring the world of travel writing and have reoriented my blog Todd's Wanderings to a larger audience after 3 years. I am also in the process of writing a travel memoir about my time walking the 900 mile Shikoku Pilgrimage in Japan, which has been more difficult than the actual hike. My ideal life style combines three careers: development work and helping people, writing, and some yet to be determined business that can be managed remotely. 1 1/2 down, I will let you know how the rest turns out.

Craig Martin is the guy to be in contact with. He's running an awesome campaign. My role now is more functional. But seems to me, this sort of networking among travel bloggers could be developed so much more so we can all come together…

It's never too soon to start networking and building your relationships with other travel bloggers, editors, etc., Shanna. Attending conferences is one way to do that. That said, some conferences are better than others. I'll have to let…
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? What do you think?Have any of you attended any conferences or events, and what was your experience?Thanks so much for your input,Shanna…See More

Craig Martin is the guy to be in contact with. He's running an awesome campaign. My role now is more functional. But seems to me, this sort of networking among travel bloggers could be developed so much more so we can all come together occasionally on a social issue. We just don't know where or how the future of travel blogging could fully develop, but this is just one way.
Cheers Todd.
