Lara Dunston commented on Merrill's group 'Bloggers Based In Europe'
I've been based out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi since 1998. Although I've been on the road writing full-time since 2006, I still call Dubai home. No, it's not Europe, I know, but most of my writing work is in Europe and the Middle East.…

Lara Dunston replied to Adam's discussion 'Promoting your Blog while on the road?' in the group Long Term Travelers
My travel blog isn't my 'business', rather I'm a professional travel writer who also blogs, but my circumstances are the same. I've been on the road four years, starting my fifth now, so good communication is key.

- Hi Lara, this is your official "hassle over the weekend" to have a listen to our Perth guide. In all honesty, there's no rush. Chuck the mp3 on your laptop/ipod for a flight sometime and let me know what you think.

- Hi everyone - thanks for the warm welcomes and nice words, Maren, Adam, Guido and Rosalind - nice to be here! Unfortunately I'm in write-up mode for two books at the moment, and still on the road in Australia, so I don't have much time to keep in touch right now, but I'll do my best. This site is such a great idea!

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
