Hi All!
Welcome to the Travel Tuesday Email, which goes out every other Tuesday and always offers interesting travel-related stories, a suggestion of social media personalities to follow and a quote to ponder.

AWESOMENESS ABROAD:
I am really taken with this story of Invisible Edinburgh, a social enterprise that trains homeless citizens to work as tour guides. This 5-minute video features two guides who have been at the bottom and are now living full lives, supporting themselves and enlightening tourists on a deeper level. If you find yourself in Edinburgh, take the tour!

LEARN FROM THE BEST:
Since Kitchen Confidential and No Reservations came on the scene, I've been listening to whatever Anthony Bourdain has to say. CLICK HERE for a great new interview and piece on Anthony from Money. Look for the term "nerd fury" and the brilliant travel advice tactic it stems from. (And set your DVRs. The 11th season of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown starts April 29th on CNN.)

WHO I'M FOLLOWING:
There are 40 million photos uploaded to Instagram every day. National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey posts some of my favorites. What I really love is that his son, Hawkeye Huey is an 8 year-old photographer with his own account (maintained by dad). By following them you get both Hueys' perspectives on the world. There's always something interesting, with that little something extra. Check them out at @argonautphoto and @hawkeyehuey.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
