Book Your Travel Here!!

Today is my website’s one month anniversary. It’s been a good first month. I’ve changed the design of the site about three times but I’m enjoying where it is at now. There are still more things to do and to add but for the post part the site is done. I’ve developed a good reader base for one month and I think with increased exposure, I’ll continue to grow my readers.

One thing that will certainly help is all the travel writing I’ve been doing. I should have looked into this years ago! I’m now writing for about 3 online travel magazines, I have a potential deal with Lonely Planet, and I’m looking into writing for a few more travel magazines. Things are looking up!

These travel communities have proven an invaluable resource and help to me. Not only have they helped me improved my writing but they’ve exposed me to other travelers and travel bloggers. Additionally, these websites are an invaluable source of travel information and stories.

Good Travel Websites

Matador Trips- A new website dedicated to stories on travel, travel advice, travel tips, travel dos and travel donts. This website is by long term travelers for long term travellers. I highly recommend it and you can find my articles posted on this site. I have one coming up about the Top 10 parties in the world!

Vagabondish- Another travelzine. Originally built as one man’s blog, the site has expanded into an online travelzine where travelers share their stories and tips. Unlike Matador, this is geared more to personal stories from the road.

Expatriates Blog- A new website about expatriates and their experience overseas. I’ll be writing for this site too!

Additionally, there’s a lot of awesome blogs out there by other travelers. I’ve putted some in my links section. I’ll be putting more soon. I enjoy reading them and I’m sure you will too!
