Romance On The Road
By Tara Weiss,
Marcel van Gemerden was at a networking conference for real estate investors in Cannes, France. He didn't want to get bored sitting alone in his hotel room, so he made an appointment to meet a friend from college for dinner nearby. The college friend brought her best friend along to dinner, and they went from dinner to a dance club. Van Gemerden married the friend-of-a-friend two years later. "It gets lonely out there on the road," says van Gemerden, who recently launched skylounge.com, a networking site for business travelers. Users input the location and date of their business trip, and can then meet with up with fellow travelers." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
