Agritourism in Armenia: Monetizing a Culture of Hospitality

Here's an article I wrote after my time in Armenia last summer.

Serendipity

It's a nice surprise when a social media tool brings us a truly interesting experience. While spending the week in Arizona last week, I was contacted via LinkedIn by a woman who I'd never met. After looking over her profile, I saw that we had two mutual connections for whom I hold especially high regard, and it was clear from her experience that she was someone I'd like to know, so I sent her a message.

As it turned out, she's based in Phoenix, which is just an hour from where I was staying. Within hours we'd set up a lunch appointment for a couple of days from then. And I can't articulate how happy I am that we did. 

I'd like you to meet her, because she's a remarkable person. Please take a moment to visit her consulting website, read what columnist Nicholas Kristof had to say about her, and hear some of what she told Oprah about her story. I think you'll consider it time well spent.
