How I Got My First Press Trip
Press trips are a brass ring that many travel bloggers reach for, since it's very difficult for many of us to fund all of our own travel and still have a lot to blog about. For the first 2.5 years of blogging, I've been funding my own trips, which means I can only travel a few times per year. I have to make the most of each trip I go on, so I have plenty to blog about for months to come. I believe most of us who are blogging about travel today probably fit that self-funding model.

Gray Cargill commented on Doni Belau's group 'France Bloggers'
Hi, all,
I am not strictly a France blogger, but will be traveling to Paris next month, so I will be blogging about Paris for awhile. I thought it would be good to connect with more experienced France bloggers in the meantime.
Cheers,
Gray

Awesome story, Alexandra! I've always been curious about how people get their professional (paying) blogging jobs, whether it's because of who they know, their reputation, or what. It's good to get an example from someone who has…

It's never too soon to start networking and building your relationships with other travel bloggers, editors, etc., Shanna. Attending conferences is one way to do that. That said, some conferences are better than others. I'll have to let…
How soon is too soon to start attending conferences and events?
I have a 2 month old travel blog that I have been working very hard to establish. What I am trying to figure out is how soon is too soon to start attending travel events and conferences?Will it be a boost to my blog at this point, or will it be a relative waste of time? Is it too soon to start networking and making contacts? What do you think?Have any of you attended any conferences or events, and what was your experience?Thanks so much for your input,Shanna…See More

In fact, you've inspired me to write an article about Solo Travel - specifically how males are perceived/see themselves and differences between each gender's solo travel.
Thanks again.
Sorry for the VERY late reply. Nonetheless, things here at Yapta are good! I think 2010 will be a break-out year for us.
How are things in VT? I'm not taking the family home this year - unfortunately. But we did visit this past Fall and caught some of the foliage. I hope you have a great Turkey day! Give the Green Mountains a big hug for me.
