…or at least that’s what tech blog Read Write Web says in its recent article: 6 Travel Trends for the Weary Wanderer. It’s nice to be included among such a select group of travel websites like Dopplr and others we look up to. It also turns out Joobili is not just a source of travel [...]

I’m back in Budapest now and finally have a minute to share my “illuminations” from the Travolution Summit in London.
