Traveling, for most people is a treat. Something that many people look forward to because, for most, it means vacation, exploring new places, and time away from the office. But what about those who define travel a little differently; those who do it for a living, and travel every, single, week?

But to be effective, you must be known to your potential audience by being very visible and approachable and being involved with committees and events through MPI is a great way.
