Hey all! I’m going to do a fun little list post here since I didn’t get around to making a nice video for the week. I think I might have been a little hasty with the one video a week idea, but still I will try.
Actually, I’ve been quite busy this past week or so, which is why I just wanted to catch up and give you all the latest news and updates from my ‘hood.
Guest Posts
- Language Study Abroad – How To Make the Most of It – This post was featured on Runaway Jane’s blog and covered the tips that I’ve learned studying languages abroad. No, you won’t magically wake up and be fluent, unless of course you’re like this girl.
- 8 Safety Tips for Female Travelers – I contributed this post to Nomadic Matt’s site to reiterate the points that female travelers should remember in order to stay safe on the road.
Interview
Travel With A Mate ran a quick little interview with me on their site that you can check out if you so desire. Matt is looking for more travelers to interview, so if you need extra exposure then you might want to drop him a line!
Video Review
If you didn’t catch my most recent video explaining the benefits and drawbacks of ExOfficio travel underwear, you might want to have a quick look. It just so happens that my little review got a comment from ExOfficio themselves!
BootsnAll News
Some of you may have heard about the new BootsnAll Travel Writer Platform that was announced back in March. Well, they only chose five writers for the first round, and I’m one of them!
Anyone that is in the mindset of independent travel knows who BootsnAll is, so getting to work with the team is a big deal for me. I will be manning the Australia Travel Guide website, helping to build it up and create a great resource for the next years to come.
Work is just about to start, so if you want to follow along, learn about Australia, or just chit-chat, you can follow @WhyGoAustralia on Twitter or Like the WhyGoAustralia page on Facebook.
Female Travel Underground
Some of you might already know, but I had been planning to make being a member of FTU more beneficial. To do this, I had to think up some little incentives to incorporate more travelers into the mix. Here are two:
1) Member Spotlight – Each month, I plan to do a Member Spotlight. What this means is one lucky member of the FTU email list will get a mini-interview posted right smack-dab in the middle of newsletter. Heading out for new travels, make some new plans… we want to hear it!
2) Giveaways – I would like to start giving away little rewards to loyal members (meaning, simply, you’re on the email list). These rewards will be travel-related products that we have either covered in a previous newsletter, or one I hope to cover in the future. In return, I only ask for a review of the product in a post on the winner’s blog, or as a note for the Facebook page.
If either of these interest you, make sure you are on the FTU email list!
That’s it for me at the moment. Stay tuned to see how my Soup Wednesday turned out. Don’t miss a thing; subscribe to my feed!
