Every Friday I’ll post links to travel news of the week that I think is worth a glance:
1. First up, you can vote for your favorite travel blog in the 2010 Weblog Awards. The top five finalists are Go Backpacking, Camels & Chocolate, The Vacation Gals, A Traveler’s Library, and Everything-Everywhere. Go to http://2010.bloggies.com/to read up and cast your vote for the best travel blog of the year by Sunday, January 31st.
2. Charyn Pfeuffer is an amazing woman. Her Global Citizen Project is to tackle “12 community projects in 12 countries over 12 months” to not only do her part and give back to the world but more specifically to give something back to the people and places that are the all important backbone of travel. She cannot do this alone though and needs your help. If you can either donate to her cause or just plain spread the word through your blog, Twitter, Facebook or whatever, it would be most appreciated. Visit globalcitizenproject.blogspot.com to learn more.
3. David Lee, Editor-in-Chief of GoBackpacking.com and MedellinLiving.com, is sharing his 3 years of travel blogging experience with the rest of the travel community through http://travelblogsuccess.com/. The online course starts on February 1st and you can go to the site now to sign up. If you want to improve your travel blog this is an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the best bloggers out there right now.
Happy Friday!
Thank you so much for including me/The Global Citizen Project as one of your Three Travel Bites of the Week. I really appreciate your kind words and support for the project. I have 24 days to go to reach the $20,000 fundraising goal and need all the word-of-mouth help I can get, so BIG thanks to you.
You’re welcome! I hope you make it!
What an informative roundup! Those travel blog awards are tough, three are my faves and I can’t choose between them.
They are all very good blogs and thanks for visiting mine!
