I waited for it, I watched for it, and then I ended up missing it.
BootsnAll has had its first member pass the 10,000 post mark! At press time, Joe’s already at 10,125 - and steaming ahead, full-speed. I can’t wait to see what his post count is by this time next year.
And speaking of next [...]

Even though I’ve been a member of the BootsnAll community since February 2005, it wasn’t until this year that I finally got to meet some of my fellow community members. And with the year drawing to a close, I thought I’d reminisce a little bit about the folks I met this year…
This summer, a couple [...]

Yesterday’s moderator meeting was great; static and Capt Steve were the only ones who could make it in the end, and yet we could have kept the meeting going for hours past the cutoff time. It’s exciting to hear all the great ideas that come out when people get together like that. I’m looking forward [...]

Date: August 9th, 2006 | No Comments
There is a new project at Bootsnall Travel Network – perhaps our biggest announcement of the year – that I thought everyone should know. We are going to start hiring a number of writers to develop travel guides for well traveled, well known destinations around the world.
If have passion, mad skills, and are an [...]
Boot Office World Cup Distraction
Date: June 22nd, 2006 | No Comments
With half the office in Germany drinking beer and working on the BnA World Cup website, us in Portland are showing our supporting by sitting in front of the 48-inch screen stuck on ESPN or ESPN2, screaming obscenities at the US while we check email, try to work on a project, or, if you’re [...]

It’s awesome that there is so much content on the BootsnAll Travel Network. From our World Cup site to South Africa Blog, we have a lot of information.
The problem with having so much good stuff is that occasionally, when I’m searching Google, I come up with BootsnAll results that don’t really answer my question…such [...]

Lost Productivity, March Madness and the BootsnAll Office
Date: March 16th, 2006 | 1 comment
This morning at the office, 10 minutes before tip-off, we decided to do an office pool for the NCAA Tournament. Well, not office pool, really, since we didn’t throw anything into the pot and none of us have been following the teams.
All that aside, we’re not one to shy away from trying our luck [...]
What is BootBlog?
BootBlog is the company blog of the BootsnAll Travel Network, a company that has been connecting travellers since 1998. Our goal is to inspire, educate and cultivate an organic community of independent travellers. But what does that mean? Well, we love to travel and we love to connect other travellers who have the desire to get out and see this great world of ours. BootBlog will showcase what is going on around the office, around the company and within our community of travellers.Top Categories

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
