Andrew Nelson is a writer for National Geographic Traveler magazine. This past weekend he was in Miami on a curious assignment. His mission? Without any research or planning, he’d land in Miami and crowdsource the trip through Twitter. The experiment worked, and soon locals in-the-know began following him and making recommendations. On Saturday night, tips from helpful food bloggers led him to the MGFD food bar, where he enjoyed a meal and a view. The story will be in the magazine sometime early next year, but here’s the experience chronicled from his BlackBerry lens. Andrew used the hash tag, #andymiami, if you’d like to find out where his trail of cyber crumbs took him on Twitter, and here is his preview on the National Geographic website (beef tongue gets a shout out!) But where in the world will Andrew be next? Follow him @andrewnelson.
