Please, when you have the time, load a photo and mention our time in Thailand under the first question so the rest of the community knows you know AoH, and have a look at the conversation forums that are in action, that's where we can contribute to each other. I hope you find great community in the Art of Hosting network! And I hope I hear of your new ideas and great communication success soon!
