Comments on: Travel Tuesday question of the week and an idea http://budgettravelintentions.net/2010/07/28/travel-tuesday-question-of-the-week-and-an-idea/ An intentional journey to explore this world, for less Thu, 25 Nov 2010 05:21:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: budgettravelsac http://budgettravelintentions.net/2010/07/28/travel-tuesday-question-of-the-week-and-an-idea/#comment-41 budgettravelsac Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:15:13 +0000 http://budgettravelintentions.net/?p=196#comment-41 Thanks for all of the feedback on this! I think the #TT question could work if enough people are interested in doing it. It's like anything else on Twitter - the more RTs, the more people will see it and participate. But getting the idea out there is what gets it rolling. Again, I just want to give credit to nomadicmatt for this idea. I know he has done it and I have seen questions here and there. I hadn't seen this done in a while and not a lot of people have known about it. So I wanted to make it something that was done every week, like #TNI. As for the web site, I appreciate the feedback on that. Yes, it would be hard to do. No, I don't have the skills to do it right now. I am not even sure how I would get started. But it's one step at a time and starting small. I really appreciate your comments and feedback on this and hope the #TT question of the week catches on! Thanks for all of the feedback on this!

But I believe that every idea is worth a try. You'll never know if something will work or not unless you try. Now back to your question: Where would I live and why? I'd say Barcelona. Lots of great reasons. Here are a few... http://www.wild-about-travel.com/cities-culture/5-must-do-barcelona Cheers!

All worked in to the system. excellent idea indeed;) To answer your question (from yesterday's #tt), one place in the world to live? I'd say La Jolla, San Diego.. but then again I'm probably biased because my mate lives there and hanging out with her and her family has always been great fun! :) great weather, food and beaches (del mar is nearby too!)

You are absolutely right there are sites like that out there, but not many (that I can recall off the top of my head) actually targeting the budget traveler. One issue I can see arising is that most everyone would love to do things cheaper (especially given the current economy) and the sites that are out there are supposed to be offering "cheaper" deals than the next guy. So, I am not sure how different it would really be. By the way, I see you live in Folsom. I am in Sactown. I have been thinking it would be nice to have a meet-up group for Sac Valley area (if there isn't one already). We could even explore this idea further in such a setting. Just a thought.
