A new year is a chance to start things fresh. To cast off the things the previous year had piled onto your shoulders. No doubt there are people speaking of resolutions and on this day they probably even mean them
We decided to usher in the new year by giving the BootBlog a new design. [...]

As part of the 10th Anniversary celebrations last week, former BootsnAll employee and wordsmith extraordinaire from the Eugene days, Anthony St. Clair was in Portland and had penned a reflection on his time with BnA. He was due to read it to the large audience at the Wonder Ballroom, but given the ambient noise and [...]
[read more]Firefox vs IE
Date: December 16th, 2008 | No Comments
Here at the BootsnAll office, we’re pretty much committed to using Firefox as our browser of choice. It’s been that way since the early days. News today that IE has a major security flaw is unlikely to change that choice. Seems a massive hole has been exploited to steal gamer passwords, but could easily be [...]

At BootsnAll we like to think we’re pretty passionate about independent travel and as far as jobs go, connecting other travellers, writing about travel and building tools to make getting out on the road that much easier is pretty damn sweet.

The holiday season (read: madness) has begun, but today is a day for relaxing with family and friends, eating some wonderful food, watching some football and passing out from triptophane ingestion. As an Aussie who has come to make the US his home, this is still a relatively new holiday for me, but one I [...]

While checking out the BnA boards I fell down an internet rabbit hole and came across this fun little game:
How many countries can you name in 5 minutes?
My score was a paltry 70, but I blame my typing skills and naming conventions (Tahiti nor French Polynesia count, apparently). It’s good enough to beat the [...]

I’m going to be attending my first blogging conference next weekend in San Francisco - BlogHer 2008, which runs from July 17th through the 20th. If any of you are going to be there, send me a note to let me know. It’d be great to meet some fellow travel bloggers in person! I’m not [...]

BootBlog is the company blog of the BootsnAll Travel Network, a company that has been connecting travellers since 1998.

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 …
