January Wrap-Up

🇨🇦 This article was originally published on the Toronto Travel Massive blog

It was cold outside, but we were warm

Thanks to everyone who came out to the first meet-up of the Toronto Travel Tribe of 2011. We started the year off with a whooosh of energy. Everyone was excited about travel plans and possibilities for the new year and the excitement in the room was palpable. We will be making some announcements soon about our plans for the Toronto Travel Tribe for the new year — we’ve got some great evenings lined up — but our first announcement is about timing. From now on, all TTT meet-ups will be held on the last Thursday of the month.

Let’s get to the night shall we? Evelyn “Journeywoman” Hannon told us about her foray into social media with her blog ‘Where is Journeywoman?’ and has recently been nominated for a Shorty Award!

Lauren and Todd of Globetrooper were in town and are getting ready to head off to India for the Great Indian Railway Challenge.

Janice Waug of Solotraveler and Global Bloggers Network is off to Chile for a few weeks, and she has lots of plans for 2011. We were excited to greet new members like Gary Cralle, who is an accomplished travel writer and photographer  — he’s been to 65 countries! — along with other new travel bloggers who are just starting out.

Always happy to see the ladies from Intrepid Travel and we even stumbled into Casie Stewart, who is the Toronto Provocatuer for Virgin airlines.

The co-founders of Toronto Travel Tribe have been busy, too of course. Mariellen published a book — called Song of India:Tales of travel and transformation — and I is changing the focus of her blog, Breathedreamgo, to be about transformative travel — wherever it takes place. Her first trip of the year looks like it will be Bhutan!

Alicia was recently chosen as the new Social Media Specialist for Flight Centre Canada and will be flying to Brisbane at the end of February to meet the rest of the global team.
