The Swedish government came out with a brilliant idea last December when they decided to hand over their @sweden Twitter account to a different citizen each week. It made sense…

Jim Byers, Travel Editor at the Toronto Star, shares great information and it’s not just for folks north of the border. Here’s a sample of one of his most recent tweets: Mexico tourism officials say foreign travel to their country up 5.3% from January to April compared to last year.

One of my favorite PR people to follow on Twitter is Nathan Kam and it’s not just because he lives in Hawaii and travels a lot. He is constantly taking photos and sharing his meals too. His local plates always make me want to hop on a plane and say “E hele mai ana au.”

Martha is based in San Francisco and is a well-seasoned flight attendant for a major U.S. airline. She’s active on Twitter mostly tweeting travel-related stories.

With a name like Spud Hilton you have to be either in the travel business or making beer commercials. Luckily for the travel community, Spud chose the former as the Travel Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle.

CruiseCritic has been helping cruisers plan and have the perfect cruise for years. Their website has over 50,000 cruise reviews and they often tweet interesting articles like “Cruise From Home in 10 Easy Steps”.

If you like following flight attendants on Twitter, then you can add Mimi M. She describes herself as a flight attendant that’s a real hot mess. Her tweets are loaded with sarcasm, stupidity and some humor.

I like to follow Breaking Weather because they always supply breaking weather news from around the country. It’s run by AccuWeather.com and they do a nice job mixing in current conditions and facts

If you are a fan of travel and adventure you will want to follow my buddy Josh GatesJoshuaGates. He has a show on the Syfy Channel called “Destination Truth.” He’s great guy and always tweeting about his nonstop travels.
