Reports to the contrary, the travel agent is alive and well.

A couple of blocks from where I live is a a storefront travel agency. Been there for quite a while, as long as I can remember, anyway.

The space is crammed with brochures, books, all kinds of magazines and old posters. It’s almost always full of people. Some come and sit on the uneven naugahyde chairs and chat with the owner and each other.
Others are actual paying customers booking one kind of trip or another.

POP Hotel Entrance

 

Sometimes referred to as “Palermo Queens”, the Villa Crespo barrio is located at the southern end of Palermo Soho with the unspoiled charm of  tree-lined, cobble stone streets for which Buenos Aires is renowned.

Masai mara is “the” park of all parks in Kenya.

The journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath your feet.

                                                           Tao te Ching, Verse 64

There are two common questions I hear often as a Social Media Consultant:

1 – What is Pinterest?

2 – What do I do with Pinterest?
