Earlier this month, we were proud to be a media partner at the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show, which we recommend for your must attend list if you’re an adventure travel enthusiast. Not only do they have a big presence in the Bay Area, but you can get new ideas and inspiration at their travel events in Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and San Diego as well. See our write-up on the show which includes a fun video at the bottom of the post.
This year we had a booth which btw if you’ve been reading us for long enough, you’ll notice the new logo and branding. A future blog post is coming soon to fill you in on what I did and why but you’ll get a glimpse of the new direction over here.
Kudos to those who helped make the event possible and who contributed their time, passion and own travel stories to attendees who stopped by. Thank you Laurie Jo Miller Farr, Anthony Compagnone, Andrew Veenstra, Charlie Crawford and Terri Ducay.
And, thanks to the Travel & Adventure Travel Shows team for making our experience fun, seamless and worth doing. Two thumbs up for this fabulous event!
