I then wrote a blog post about my experience and also shared pictures via my various social channels.

A comment from Gastein Tourism:
“First of all I would like to thank Mike for his great effort. We have never ever had a blogger who works as accurate as Mike did. It was great to see how interested he was in the area and the people. He explores a lot on his own to get good pictures and a feeling for the region. Mike is not only a great writer, he is furthermore a fantastic photographer. I hope we get the opportunity to continue working with him in future.”
