    Dear Lara and Terence

    I would like to introduce my newly started website: http://www.adventeer.com, a social network for travellers for creating personal travel journals and travel maps. We endeavour to make it a great hub for travellers when planning, during and after a trip.

    We would love it if you can share our site on your website/facebook/twitter and also add our blog to your blogroll: http://www.adventeer.com/blog

    If you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

    I will be happy to discuss more about how we can collaborate in the future and please feel free to let me know if Adventeer can be of any assistance.

    I look forward to hear your reply.

    Best Regards
