Well, soon after I started this blog, I happened upon a little link-up called Travel Tuesday and it all changed. I found all of the above, and more. I made it my goal to become a co-host and shortly after we moved to Prague, I was nominated, along with Jessi and Camila.

^^follow along on Camila’s adventures in Scotland! 

^^not only do I get daily inspiration from Jessi, I’ve also been lucky enough to meet her in person–twice! 

Travel Tuesday also gave my writing a serious boost–some of my favorite posts I’ve written were due to Travel Tuesday prompts.

I wrote about why I will always choose small towns…

I wrote an ode to my favorite travel partner, just in time for his birthday…

A started a new series about my travel outtakes…which became some of my most popular posts.

Not only did Travel Tuesday give me some writing mojo, it also introduced me to the entire travel blogging community–and therefore a whole new world of inspiration. As much as I love Instagram, guidebooks, and Pinterest for helping me decide where I want to visit, nothing beats reading personal stories about the places I want to go.

I mean, if not for traveling blogging, how else would have I been able to virtually tag along with Marcella as she made her big move from London to Chile?

Or, how else could I explore hidden gems in Iceland alongside Kaelene?

Or learn from Van what exactly people mean when they say the “Arctic” and that it is, in fact, as gorgeous as I always suspected?

Or get a genuine view of the nomadic life from Anna?

Or learn more about the Czech Republic from Cynthia, making my own experience there even more meaningful?

Thank you all, and thank you everyone else I ran out of space to mention, for the years of inspiration! In the way of high school year books…it’s been a wild ride. Don’t ever change. And we’d better not lose touch ;).

Linking up with Travel Tuesday.
