Life in Florence as an import. It’s not all pizza and mandolino but it’s not bad.

Best source for Europe Travel tips

karenThe other day I got to meet Karen Bryan, a full time online information specialist (ok, that’s “blogger”) who brings us Europe a la Carte blog and Top Travel Content Europe, an aggregator website. Europe alla Carte is a multi-author blog. Karen has arranged for a really talented and diverse team whose contributions easily cover many areas of the Mediterranean, Great Britain, and Northern Europe. Top Travel Content features links to member websites and Karen’s hand-picked features from member sites. She works really hard to put up excellent content to help you plan your trip in Europe.

Karen was in Florence for a few days and also experiencing Lucca and Pisa, so I look forward to her posts about what she saw in those cities. She contacted me via Twitter and we decided to meet. This is one of the most fun parts of being a travel blogger – meeting other interested travelers on your home turf, or on theirs.

So, I took Karen to see the Palazzo Davanzati, one of my favourite spots in town, and she did a little video interview of me outside the Palazzo, during which she asked me to talk about arttrav and provide some tips to travelers. (You will be happy to hear that after seeing myself on film, I got a haircut.)

    Thanks for writing about Europe a la Carte and Top Travel Content Europe. We’re delighted to have arttrav.com as a Top Travel Content Europe member.

    It was lovely to meet you in Florence and tap your in depth knowledge of art history as it’s a topic about which I know very little.
