Claudia was here from Montreal for a week, and we are going to do some business together! Sounds boring, but you have to know Claudia. She's fun.
I was her client back when we were both pioneers on the web trail. Her company developed some machine translation software, and my company needed a cheap way of translating content for its global employees. We worked together for a few years developing this application, and did a lot of traveling in the process. Funny how traveling together creates bonds between people... indelible memories that always remain associated with a sense of place.
So, this week, we revisited our old adventures, and had a grand time of it. We went to a conference, worked the show, and had many meetings. Tapas at B44, cocktails at the Marriott bat cave, a side trip to Sonoma, and a final stop at Baker Beach to see the Golden Gate Bridge.
Most of our talk was around travel, and the numerous places we had met before. Montreal, Chicago, Orlando, San Francisco... we both love working in the international space. We love the cultural differences, enjoy being either the guest or the host... Work and travel fit together perfectly in my mind. Hope we can continue this, and work together again.
