The Christian, the kids, and I are looking forward to hearing about your travels! Carrie
Hey, I’m in Germany reading about your time in New Zealand– this planet it getting more connected all the time. Pretty cool that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Everywhere I go in Europe, people are so hopeful that this is the beginning of a new era of Global sharing–sure hope so. Glad you are having a great time. I fly home tomorrow.
Hi,
I recently found your blog on TBEX and I thought you might be interested in UpTake’s new program called “Travel Gems” that features blog content from across the web on our site. It brings great blog content to a wider audience and helps bloggers like yourself increase traffic to their own blogs. I’d love to speak to you more about how this program works and see if you are interested in participating.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Brittany
Hi Brittany, I would be very interested in discussing this further. Should I contact you through your site?
