About Me

Name: Curt Gibbs

Location: United States

Founder of ExperienceLA.com and ExperienceLA WiFi. Travelled overland around the world in 1977 - 1979. Several pictures from those travels have been published in the London Sunday Times Magazine and other publications. Combined my interest in travel and promoting Los Angeles to launch www.experiencela.com in July 2003 as a public service of many government agencies. Web site promotes public transit and cultural tourism in greater Los Angeles. Also, includes official Los Angeles County Cultural Events calendar which is a feed into the LA Convention and Visitors Bureau website. Back in the 1980's, used to volunteer leading workshops in travel in Europe and Asia. Also, on How to Work Your Way Around the World. This was for American Youth Hostels - Los Angeles Council now known as Hostelling International. Organized travel fair that hosted Tony and Maureen Wheeler from Lonely PIanet Books. Maureen gave workshop on travelling with children. Had a chance to meet with Tony Wheeler again after the 2004 LA Times Travel Show which resulted in Tony introducing me to Rory Maclean author of The Magic Bus. I have been told many times that I look like Steven Spielberg.
