Salamanders, Contests and Blogs

Greetings again from the American 4th of July! Hope anyone celebrating had great a great weekend with friends and family.

This weeks post is a writing contest I’ve entered on the We Said go Travel Site. It’s a vulnerable piece entitled, How Salamanders led me on my Travels and talks about how the harsh times in elementary school led me to look for more salamanders, which ultimately led me on my quest to travel the world. You can read all about it here.

Also, my fellow writing friend mentioned our blog in her weekly column, And one more thing … written for the Livingston County News.  (If you have trouble viewing the online version, make sure you answer the question in the box or click on “print” at the top right and read the print version.) You check out Kay’s work at her blog or facebook page. Her most written book, A Smidgen of Irish Luck has been selling well.

I hope you enjoy this weeks post, How Salamanders led me on my Travels. Wish me luck on the contest and leave a comment over there if you can! Thanks everyone. 🙂

Need a little more planning help?

The gear listed in this post is the same exact gear we use to travel the world.
These same booking resources are the same exact ones we use to find deals and acquire points for more travel.
I will never recommend to get a credit card unless you are 100% solid to pay it off in full every month. If you will and are going to be making some big purchases, this Chase card is the same exact card we use and it offers great travel points and perks.
Finally, if you have not used AirBnB before, use this special link to sign up and get $40 off your first booking.
