…ure you turn new visitors into loyal fans of your stories. While attending TBEX (Travel Bloggers Exchange) conference in Girona Spain last week, the major request from the speakers there was for travel bloggers to focus on being story tellers and great writers. They encouraged travel bloggers to stop being obsessed with churning out high volumes of travel posts to feed search engines, and from being overly focused on writing content that is key wo…
…nd many talks, events and functions (like Speed Dating in partnership with TBEX to connect bloggers with brands wanting to work with them). It is a networking and contact must do. If you live in the Berlin area and love travel, then attend the public days. But you do need to focus on what you are interested in or considering doing on a future vacation.

The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…
…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…
…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it.

In short, were what you bring and wear was low on the list. Personal Feel The third thing was with a maximum of 312 guests and 200 crew.

If I had not gone to the Travel Blogger Conference TBEX, sponsored by the Costa Brava Tourist Board, I would never have thought of traveling to and visiting Girona nor the Costa Brava region. I have been to the fabulous city of Barcelona, which is about 99km away, many times. The only place I had ventured to from there was to Sitges once. However, Girona is a real jewel of a destination and a perfect day trip from Barcelona, or a stop over before…
