During my time here in Australia I’ve met a lot of really great people. Some I’ve introduced you to or mentioned, but what I’m about to say next deserves it’s own category: MEET THE SYDNEY TRAVEL TRIBE!

Every month the tribe gets together to share ideas, business tips and chat about their one true love: Travel.

I found out about the group through Graham who has been supporting me on my Best Travel Job Ever journey. When he saw that I was leaving Melbourne and heading back to Sydney, he immediately suggested I come out for some beers and meet the tribe. 

I’ve never been to a tweetup before in my own country, let alone one on the other side of the world… but I thought to myself, what have I got to lose?

The moment I sat down and started chatting with some of them I realized how much we all had in common. We are young entrepreneurs with nothing but endless ideas spilling out of us the more we got to know each other. These my friends are the people of the future. So with that, I would like to introduce you to the tribe:

 @aussie_ian: The mastermind behind this whole thing, Ian is also the founder of a realtime Q&A service called Travellr. He’s also in the know of everything that goes on in the social media world of travel and someone you should definitely be following on Twitter!

@brookeschoenman: A perpetual nomad, Brooke has an awesome blog called Brooke Vs The World. She also sends out a monthly newsletter called Female Travel Underground that covers off-beat topics for the off-the-beaten path female travellers. Ladies I highly recommend you sign up now. 

 @grayum_ian: Founder of Project Wander, this dude never sleeps. He devotes an obsessive (and impressive) amount of time to following current travel news and trends via Twitter, podcasts, conferences and personal experience. He’s totally crushing it… oh and did I mention he’s Canadian?

 @kevlippy: Kevin is one of those uber cool dudes that has so many ideas in his head he can barely contain himself. He’s been working really hard at launching his website Brokepacker.com so keep your eye on this one if you want to save some serious cashola while you travel. 

 Alicia and Katrina from World Nomads: These ladies were kind enough to offer me some desk space and free (high speed) WIFI at their World Nomads office in Sydney so I could upload some vids. Big thanks to Ian for hooking me up with a t-shirt and DVD as well :) 

 @trooperlauren: Co-founder of Globe Trooper, Lauren came up with this brilliant idea to create a forum where people can create their trips online and find like-minded travellers to join them. I highly recommend you follow them on Twitter as well.

  @vagabondquest: This cute backpacking couple Dina and Ryan have been on the road for over a year now and have a great blog VegabondQuest that offers tips, tricks, and awesome stories from the road. 

But these are just a few of the awesome people you will meet if you ever attend a Sydney Travel Tribe. Their numbers are only growing, so I highly recommend you check out their website and read the latest news. If you’re a travelling blogger like myself and ever in the Sydney area, be sure to stop in a enjoy some beers with the tribe. I can’t wait to reunite with them again in the future!
