A Week in Review 2

It was another exciting couple of weeks for The Planet D. On Thursday we have 2 guest posts coming out. Velvet Escape and Cheap O Air have invited us to write for their blogs and we have happily given two very different posts that I hope you will like. We have had our site accepted into the BlogSherpa Community of Lonely Planet and we are excited to have some of our favorite posts featured on the Lonely Planets website.

Thanks to Trisha at Travel Writers Exchange for inviting us to write a guest post about  Adding Video to your Travel blog.  It was an interesting topic to explore and we even discovered a few ideas to make our video blog more efficient. We will be adding a lot more video to our blog as we go along especially when we leave for India, Nepal and China.

Thank you Alan from The 9 to 5 Alternative and to John At JetSetCitizen for inviting us to be interviewed on your sites.  Both of your sets of questions were insightful, interesting and completely different from each other.  While answering your questions, we discovered  a lot about ourselves. Sometimes all it takes is a person asking the right questions to make you really set some concrete goals about where you are and where you want to be.

As I said in an earlier post, the travel community is one of the most supportive communities that I have had the pleasure of being a part of.   If we can all thrive, survive and succeed together than we all win! I have never seen people promote, suggest and help others out as much as I have witnessed in the past 2 months.  And I look forward to growing and learning over the next few years with everyone.

All of the blogs that we have guest posted on so far are travel sites that I admire have something interesting to say.  It is an honor to Dave and I to be welcomed by these inspiring people. We have another guest post coming up soon which we are working on now, and we are reading and reviewing a travel book as we speak.

Will be posting that review in late July or Early August to coincide with the release date. In the meantime, we have some great posts lined up, I was up all night with a wave of material floating in my brain and I can’t wait for the coming days so I can post these fun posts. Keep the feedback coming, I turned my comments off accidentally and I feel that I have scared a few people off.  I miss my comments:) We are learning this as we go and hopefully you will all learn along with us.

We both thoroughly believe in sharing information about what we have learned, what we have tried, what is working and what is not working with our travel blog. It is a roller coaster ride that I hope you will stick around and share with us right up until we leave for our travels through Asia and beyond!
