Allie, local travel is absolutely very similar to sustainable travel, just as it is not unlike responsible travel and ecotourism and conscious travel... and so much more. Truth told, though, I don't…"
"Looking at your bullet points, Local Travel seems very similar to sustainable travel, which is also supposed to take the welfare of the locals as well as the rivers into account. "
"Hi David, thanks for the thought. I try not to draw a line in the sand. Part of the best way to help people get beyond misconceptions and misunderstandings is to pull them out of their comfort zones so that they can see just how comfortable they…"
"Hi David,
Yes, I have been away for far too long. Trying now to make up for lost time.
I did see the invite for the tweet-up and have sent my rsvp. Jose has already replied with confirmation. So I will look forward to seeing you there.
Happy 4th!"
Good afternoon, Ethan, and welcome to Go-Lo! It's great to have you with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.
To get the most out of Go-Lo, you may want to also take a few minutes to join several other of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Media Only, Eco/Sustainable Tourism, The Book Club, Biking/Mountain Biking, Volunteer Vacations, Eating/Drinking the World, New York State, and various others covering many topics and most other destinations throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world.
FYI, on your profile you'll see a blue bar marked "Text Box," which you can turn into a box containing not just text but also photos and even videos about yourself and your writing (we would of course also be very grateful if you have the opportunity to cover Go-Lo in any of your outlets).
Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, and colleagues. It's fast and easy to use our "INVITE" function above left on the navigation bar to enter e-mails (even your whole list at once!).
We wish you the best of luck over the rest of 2009 and beyond, both personally and professionally, and look forward to hearing much more from you...
