A lot of you don’t know this yet, but my day job is actually programming. Specifically, I’m a Java developer. I’m currently on a sabbatical so I’m spending my time on writing and other things, but I plan to get back on this soon. Anyway, I realized that I have skills as a developer that …
You heard it all. It is easy to get into blogging, rank your site on the first page of Google, and make the most out of your opportunities. You got started, full of enthusiasm, and got disappointed. It never happened for you. There are loads of fairy tales circulating about starting a blog, and you …
Hi! So I decided to keep you guys up-to-date with what’s happening with our blog recently. Last February, I realized that I wasn’t making most of our blog. It was never a secret that I’m addicted to it, but it had so far remained as a personal project (Hali and I’s “baby”, a passion project,) …

Oh you know, just a list of things I found out for myself after a year of blogging. I intended to publish this a long time ago, but it got lost in one of my gazillion drafts. I know some of you here can relate or at least understand. If you have a (travel) blog yourself, …
Hi, lovely people! Last December, I was nominated by Stephanie of Stephanie Cox – Newcastle & Travel for a Liebster Award. A Liebster Award is an online-only award passed on from blogger to blogger.
