Travel bloggers I met in Goa during GITM 2019

This post introduces you to few Travel Bloggers I met in Goa recently. I had done a similar post in 2014 and again in 2017 . Idea is to introduce my fellow travel bloggers to my readers. I've kept it very brief- do check their respective blogs and social media profiles for more information. Those whom I have met for the first time I have elaborated in little detail, those whom I have already met earlier and probably covered in earlier posts, have given brief mention.

Repeat meets
Met following bloggers one more time thanks to the Goa event.

• Sandy & Vijay, popular couple blogger from Bengaluru (http://imvoyager.com/), we had met a few times earlier, including GRT bloggers meet in Chennai.
• Danish Aktar-Nomadicfoot who runs a blog and travel business (EduTravel) from Delhi. We had met earlier during Tata Nexon event in Kochi. (I had failed to recall- he reminded me). His blog is http://www.nomadicfoot.com/
• Anuradha Goyal popular senior travel blogger (https://www.inditales.com/), writer based in Goa. She has written a book 'The Mouse Charmers' and is also one of the Indian bloggers with maximum traffic as per the list I had published earlier. 
• Parnashree Devi whom I had met 2 years ago during JW Marriott Jaipur event. She blogs at https://www.traveldiaryparnashree.com/

All of these bloggers made the Goa visit more fun and purposeful. There's lot to learn from each other. I am not the most photo enthusiastic person around so didn't take selfie with each of them. Using a few group photos and selfies I could get my hands on .

About 7 people in above list are based in Bengaluru, around 4 from Delhi/nearby n rest from other places. Do we say Bengaluru is travel blogger capital of India?

Sorry if I have missed mentioning anyone. Let me know, can update. Goa Tourism and organizers of GITM2019 had invited 35 domestic bloggers+media and 25 international bloggers/media to attend GITM and spread the word related to Goa Tourism. Also met a few journalists, buyers and other people but since they are not bloggers not focusing in this post.
