For McCool Travel’s 97th travel interview, I am happy to present Lori Moreno. One day I followed Lori on Twitter and then I suddenly started seeing her everywhere (online). She is an extremely influential social media presence, across several industries and categories. I am thankful she spent some time sharing her travel tips, memories, and inspiration with us.
