"Montrealer meets world" brazwhazz's Profile

Why travel?

My girlfriend gave me the travel bug on our first trip together, which was in the wonderful region of Catalonia, Spain in early fall 2001. Ever since then, we have taken at least one long trip each year, a tradition we hope continues for many more years! I hope you enjoy browsing through my pages.

Hi Bronson!

Just wanted to congratulate you on being Tip of the Day! Your tip about the Vasa Museum in Stockholm was both funny, but also very informative! I would also be a little weary of visiting a museum about a ship that only sailed for one mile, but it seems like it was pretty cool!

In addition to being featured on our VT_TipoftheDay Profile page ("Welcome to VirtualTourist's Tip of the Day page!" - VT_Tipoftheday's Profile), you’ll also be on our VT Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/VirtualTourist) and our VT Twitter (twitter.com/#!/VirtualTouris...), so feel free to link to them or retweet! And keep up the great tips!

Congrats again!
Blake
