Getting Creative with Instagram

Posted by 1 Comment
instagram

On my recent trip to Vietnam, I became fascinated with Instagram.  I fell in love with the country and wanted to share my experience and photos with the world. As the likes and comments began to spill in, I realized I had a new way to communicate with people back home, as well as travelers who could make recommendations and share travel tips about the places I was visiting. It added a whole new dimension to my travel experience but I knew it was just the tip of the iceberg. I've been wanting to learn more about it ever since. So when my friend, Katja Read More

I just got back from Toronto where I attendedTBEX 2013, Travel Bloggers Exchange. Founded by Kim Mance of Go Galavanting, it's the largest travel blogging conference of its kind.  Mance was the commander at the TBEX conference I last attended in 2010, and I could tell it was all very over-whelming for her to organize  back then. I was so impressed that she had brought all these cool people together from around the world to discuss travel writing. There were sponsors  - not many, but she had them. Anyway, she sold TBEX to Blog World in 2012 (she needed Read More

New York City is a vast metropolis with lots of nooks and crannies, and a plethora of things to see and do. No matter if you have lived in or around the city for years or have visited hundreds of times, there is still some aspect of New York left to discover. For those who have never been to the city, the sheer vastness of it can seem overwhelming. Figuring out where to start and what are the things that you cannot miss as opposed to the things that you shouldn't is fairly complex. Attempting to be a resource for both the returning visitor and the Read More

I know I'm rather late to respond to the ridiculous article “The Mommy Business Trip: Conferences Appeal to Women with a Guilt-Free, Child-Free Reason to Leave Home” that ran in the Wall Street Journal a few days ago and you've probably read countless articles featuring other opinions.  But I haven't had a chance until now to respond. Why? I was on a business trip. So, I read the article with great interest at the start, but by the end of the article, I was mortified. Especially when I saw the graphic accompanying the article (see above). The Read More

A few months ago I read my amazing friend Liz's recount over at Mom-101 of what it was like to watch her mother run a small clothing label out of her attic when she was growing up.  She connected the story (beautifully) to a group of women that she met at the non-profit, FashionABLE while visiting Ethiopia. It's a place where all the proceeds on the scarves that they create go towards helping the artisans, not only through wages but with medical care, medicine for TB or HIV, counseling, a housing stipend, educational tools and daycare for their Read More

"When you're a mom, you get a 'Get Out of Fat Jail Free' card for as long as you have young kids.
