Happy Friday! I hope you have a great weekend. Here are my Three Travel Bites of the Week:
1. Why Aren’t Students Reading Travel Books? They are not reading much non-fiction to begin with and it’s kind of ridiculous. Jim Benning over at World Hum compiled some articles relaying the facts and has started a discussion about what is one travel book that would be good for students to read? Think about it and go on over and join the discussion because the bottom line is students need a real-world education and putting a good travel book in their hands would be the best learning tool.
2. For Alison, moving to Belgium with her husband was a difficult transition but her travel blog saved the day. Alison from http://cheeseweb.eu/ wrote a guest post on AlmostFearless about How Blogging Saved my Expat Life. The response to this article was huge and my inbox filled up with comments all week once I joined the discussion so I had to share it with all of you. It is such a unique perspective about how Alison found an expat community through her blog and was able to make friends she could relate to and help her through her initial trials and tribulations. Such a good read!
3. Today is the 6-month anniversary of Be a TravelBee. I started this site to encourage others, especially young people, to start traveling. I have been learning so much about building my blog from the travel community so thank you to everyone that I have “met” through this blog. This space is a work in progress and I plan to develop it to the best that it can be. I am working on Travel Blog Success right now learning how to provide quality content in an appealing package so expect a redesign in April. If you have any suggestions of what would look good on my site or what would help make the redesign go smoothly, please leave a comment! I’d love to hear from you.

Congratulations on your 6 month anniversary. Maybe you can celebrate tonight. I’m also thinking redesign soon. It’s like a job in itself though so you are wise to aim for April. Thanks for the travel bites this week.
I saw a RT from Suzy on Twitter about your six-month anniversary. Congrats! Your blog looks great. I just started my first blog a few weeks ago. It’s pretty fun!
Thanks Sabina! I look forward to reading more of your blog. That’s great you’ve written for so many other sites. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks Suzy! Yes, redesigning is going to be a big task but I’m looking forward to it. Have a good weekend!
