A group for all the people who love Umbria, the "green heart of Italy". For the ones who have been there and the ones who dream to be there. We love traditional food, great wine, country side, relax, green and natural activities.
Grazie! Si', mi piace Orvieto! Absolutely loved every minute we were there and wished we could have stayed longer. I've also spent time in Spoleto, Assisi, and Todi. Umbria is wonderful! I can't wait to come back. Ciao

I am retired and have to be here to take care of my family and my huge garden! This year I will focus on studying wine and trying my hand at travel writing and travel/tour consulting while still hoping to lead one tour this spring (May 2010). I have also started doing product testing and reviews.

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?
