I recently attended an amazing travel blogger conference in Innsbruck full of twitter, WiFi & iPad hungry people passionate about their blogs and the myriad of possibilities offered by networking in this community. What a great experience!

Travel Bloggers Unite Conference, Networking and Niche Blogging

Certainly it was all very worthwile, and for me running a niche blog about interactive, creative travelling, a must in terms of linking up with other like-minded travellers and bloggers. In addition to interesting panel talks, finally meeting conference organiser Oliver in person ;) and congratulating each other on our many initiatives with regards to travel blogging, I also attended an “iPhoneography Tour” run by iPhone travel expert Kirsten Alana. It was an amazing tour, and I have certainly never looked at Innsbruck from this angle despite many visits in past! In less than an hour, I learned how to make the following collage on my iPhone and essentially took part in a creative photography workshop - only that this time, it was offered by an American in Austria specifically for people travelling with an iPhone! Well, the world is growing smaller and more interesting by the minute, isn’t it :-)
