Happy Friday! I don’t know about you but I have a long to-do list for this weekend. Here are three travel bites of the week:
1. Boys, don’t be scared. Brooke vs. The World created the Female Travel Underground monthly newsletter. Being a girl out on the road is tough and this newsletter will hopefully build a community for women to share stories, tips, and advice to make the journey just a little bit easier. Visit Brooke’s site to sign up and men don’t be shy – this may help you finally understand the female psyche.
2. I just became a fan of A Pair of Panties and Boxers this week. I’ve talked before about how BUNAC gave me the opportunity to work abroad but A Pair of Panties and Boxers in conjunction with I Wish Gap Year delivered a great post on Why You Should Consider Working Abroad. They break down the different types of work abroad and the pros and cons of each. The reason I started blogging was because I wanted to encourage others to work abroad and travel and this post did a great job of doing just that and I think it is a must read.
3. If you want to build a travel writing career, BootsnAll Travel can help. This week they introduced the BootsnAll Travel Writer Platform where selected applicants will be able to write about a destination they love with a theme, such as Business Travel or Adventure Travel. The goal of this platform is to create quality travel content on the web. This is a long-term committment but a well-invested one if travel writing is your passion. Visit the site to read FAQs and to apply and check out the video below to learn about the type of applicant they are looking for.

Thanks for the mention Joya! I’d love to have the opportunity to work abroad. I volunteered at a migrant school in rural Shanghai when I went to study abroad and I loved it. It was one of the most rewarding part of my study abroad experience.
You’re welcome! I loved working abroad not only because it was great for my resume but because I became close with my co-workers and it made my whole experience in London that much more authentic and fulfilling. I would definitely recommend it. I’m interested in volunteering myself or doing another work abroad maybe in Paris next time.
Great links, Joya, thanks. Going to take a look at them all. (A little scared of the Panties & Boxers thing, lol…guess I just have to check it out.)
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy the links. Monica has a whole story behind naming her blog Panties & Boxers. You’ll like her blog too!
