Where I've Been introduces #traveltuesday

Does anyone know what day it is? It's Travel Tuesday! I thought that it would be a wonderful idea to gather the thoughts of travelers every Tuesday via Twitter. Tweet about anything from travel blogs, to travel deals, to useful tips, vacation pictures and videos and travel quotes. Let's all work together to make the #traveltuesday hashtag a massive success across the world.

Don't know who to follow on #traveltuesday? That's okay, below is a wee list of people to look out for on Twitter!
