They say Christmas isn’t Christmas unless you’re far away and homesick, missing the guys and girls back home but cherishing the ones next to you. I’m not saying spending Christmas at home, next to your loved ones, watching the snow flakes dribble their way down from the sky and unwrapping presents under the tree is not something I enjoy, in fact I’m a bit old fashioned in this sense and I love that picture I just painted.

Welcome to all of you savvy travelers! I will be updating all of you once in a while about what’s happening at Travelgrove. This is my first blog, so let me just tell you what to expect here. I would like to get a conversation going with all of you who love to travel, and think that they can add value on here.

Maybe we’ll together find new directions and features for this site.

let me give you a brief update on where this site is going:

We have been working hard to upgrade our community and feel that now we really have something that’s worth using, whether you want to do a mini-blog like Twitter, or something much more elaborate, I think there is something for everyone there. We’ll try to slowly integrate social features into our search and vice versa.

Anyhow, this was supposed to be a short welcome only and quick update, so I leave it at this.
