Everybody wants to have a good vacation. And everybody loves a good deal.
When you travel you don’t want to empty your savings. You know that there are good deals out there, but finding them isn’t easy. You need to know where to go and how to talk to the right people. You know compromise is always on the agenda, but where do you spend your money?
Andy Hayes, editor of the travel website Sharing Travel Experiences, is throwing a Virtual Book Launch Party to celebrate the site’s new FREE digital book, Value Luxury: How to Find First Class Experiences on an Economy Budget. Come hang out with like-minded travel friends and get straight to finding your own luxurious travel style that fits in your budget.
During the book party, you’ll hear from Andy about the history of Sharing Travel Experiences and why he chose to write this guide. His co-author, Margo Millure from The Travel Belles, will also be on the call to talk about her tips and suggestions for finding your own version of luxury. Award-winning travel journalist Chris Gray Faust, who coined the term “value luxury,” will also be partying with us, as well as Sharing Travel Experience’s own travel concierge, Sheri Doyle.
The MC and groovy party host will be yours truly – Karl Staib of Party Biz Connect. This Twitterific party is going to be crazy fun and informative, so be ready to learn some great travel ideas – you’ll be itching to book that next trip right away!
During the party you’ll learn:
- What is the most important question to answer before planning that next vacation.
- What are some hot destinations and experiences you should consider for your next trip.
- Where you should spend your travel budget and where you should scout for a deal.
Bring your favorite travel tip, idea or suggestion – it’s a party!
