Blog Carnival:

A few other blogs that have caught my eye this month and kept me going back for more:

Around the World “L”!!

Lillie is currently teaching English to children in Ghana, her articles about life as a teacher are engaging and captivating. She has guest posts from her students and since discovering her blog I literally haven’t been able to keep away. (She also has a wealth of equally inspiring articles from backpacking through Thailand, Vietnam and Laos… You MUST check them out!)

Ivan Vania on Vimeo

Although this one isn’t actually a blog as such it really is worth every single drop of accolade it gets, it’s one of the most stunning travel videos I’ve ever seen and if this doesn’t inspire you to travel through South east Asia… Nothing will. Watch, listen and be blown away!

Legal Nomads.

An insightful and wonderfully written blog from a she traveller/lawyer. She has got to many places that I’ve only ever seen on a map or dreamt about and her recent posts about travelling through Burma have more than inspired me to go there as ASAP!

Again Thanks a million to everyone who has helped us, visited our little blog and made doing this FUN…We really REALLY appreciate it!

It’s nearly the end of January already and it’s been a great start to the new year for us, things here are going stronger than ever and it’s all down to the people who stop by and read the stories I write and watch the videos Georgie makes. It’s also got a lot to do with the strong community that surrounds travel bloggers and I feel pretty lucky to be a part of that and able to call many other travel bloggers friends.
Over the last month we have been featured and interviewed and generally supported by a great bunch of people so I’m going to round things up here on a new monthly Blog-a-bout.

A Big Thank You to:

Andrew Hayes – For his interview “Travel is Happy Time” on www.sharingtravelexperiences.com Twitter: @AndrewgHayes.
David Lee – For featuring our articles and videos on www.GoBackpacking.com Twitter: @RTWDave.
Louise Brown – For making HappytimeBlog Site of the Day over at www.travelblogsites.com

Blog Carnival:

Below are some blogs that are new to me, that have really got caught my eye and I just have to share with you:

Revolution

An adventure travel blog from a pair of Irish nutters cycling around the world. CYCLING!!! They have some stunning videos and I just can’t stop going back (Check out the Kyrgyz Video!)

The Longest Way Home

Not a new blog but new form me it’s a beautifully written travel blog from a chap that’s been on the road forever, some fantastic pictures and another blog that I just can’t stop reading.

Road Junky

A warts n all travel blog which has some great articles advice and videos, shows the real side of travel.

Dark Nomad

Another “real” travel blog, it’s refreshing to see people looking past the stunning views and lively cultures and really getting down to a place and Dark Nomad has some great pictures and interesting posts to bring the point home.

Again Thanks a million to everyone who has helped us our, visited our little blog and made doing this FUN…We really appreciate it!
