Hi, I’m Roni.
If you’re into labels, I’m a social media consultant and content creator. I’ve helped non-profits (inc. Africa Travel Association), businesses (inc. hotels and resorts) and individuals get better established on social media. Regarding content, I write, take pictures and make videos.
I’m also an avid social networker. I know people all over the world and I like linking them together. If you need something, let me know and I’ll try my best to help.
I am:
- a respected, listed blogger, right here and an influential microblogger, over on Twitter
- an organizer of Travel Talk on Twitter, the biggest Twitter travel chat
- a co-producer of and panelist on Don’t Worry About The Government, a weekly political podcast
- a host/producer of Roni On Location, found on YouTube and Vimeo
- a public speaker
Here’s my media kit (PDF).

Blog disclaimer: Sometimes I get stuff for free. If it’s an event, there is a good chance that I am there as a member of the press and did not pay the normal consumer charge. If it’s something offered to me on a press trip, etc., I’ll try to do a good job of letting you know that it’s been arranged for me. If you disagree with any of my opinions or feel I’m “in the bag” for someone, feel free to comment/e-mail me and I’ll address your concerns.
