New Member Introduction – Excited to Join the Community!

Hello everyone,

I’m thrilled to be a new member of the Rick Steves Travel Forum! As an avid traveler with a keen interest in exploring France, I look forward to connecting with fellow travel enthusiasts and sharing experiences.

I’ve always been fascinated by the culture, history, and cuisine of France, and I’m eager to learn more about the best places to visit and hidden gems to discover. I hope to share my own travel stories and tips while also gaining insights from your adventures.

Thank you for welcoming me into this community! I can’t wait to dive into the discussions and get to know all of you.

Bon voyage!

First of all, welcome to the community.
May I suggest that you fill out your personal profile under the "my account", "travel forum" headings on your login page - helps everyone to know a little about you ... ie your background, travel experience and history, etc.

Hi, you should also remove the self-promotional link you have to your business in your profile, and change your user name so that it is not the same as your business.

Self-promotion is not allowed on this forum, pursuant to the Community Guidelines. Here is a relevant quote:

Businesses… read carefully. Hotels, restaurants, and other services mentioned on ricksteves.com may only use our site in a customer service role to respond to a review. You may make a single brief statement, explanation, or clarification with regard to the review in question. You may invite the reviewer to contact you privately either by issuing a phone number, email address (though this may open you up to spam), customer service related URL, or by inviting the reviewer to contact you via our Private Message system. That is all! You may not… in any way advertise or promote your business. Do not include any URLs that are outside of direct customer service use. For example, giving a link to your site's homepage will get your post deleted. Discussing aspects of your business unrelated to the review will also get your post removed. You may not make any unsolicited posts regarding your business. Businesses should resolve issues through their own channels and not openly on our boards. Report genuine defamation to the webmaster.
