On April 10, Gogobot will be hosting their first-ever Travel Salon in San Francisco! If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to become a travel writer, while receiving tips from established authors and networking with other travelers, this is the event for you. It’ll be held at Monarch, a beautiful new lounge in SoMa.

Note: I’m currently working with this awesome company, so I may be slightly biased in determining the event’s expected awesomeness. Additionally, I will be there myself, so I can assure you the event will be awesome.

Join us for a discussion on the Future of Travel with a panel including The panel includes Broke-Ass Stuart, author of guides to SF and NYC, and star of his own television show, Mike McColl, founder of EthicalTravel.org, Erin Caslavka (SFGate.com) and Alex Leviton, Editorial Director at Gogobot and author of guidebooks for Lonely Planet. The panel will discuss where they think the world of travel is headed. Later, get up close with the writers in smaller group discussions on their area of expertise.
