BootsnAll writers Mo Valentine, Ria Argyropoulos & Erik Trinidad recently met up in New York City. Erik sent us a little write-up of what happened:
Traveling the Road Less Traveled, or Boots ‘N The Three of Us

An excerpt from Robert Frost’s immortal poem goes like this:

A rideshare plea on the bulletin board in the Harry & David break room led me into the generous care of a family headed to Washington for the holidays. Read: a free ride to Portland to have a BootThanksgiving with Sean & his parents, Chris, and Nick.

A day after I’d had a dig at Eugene, we had a visit from former BootsnAll intern, Élan Schmitt. She had been living in San Francisco after she graduated, working all hours for a company she didn’t really believe in. She recently packed in her job and is back in her old stomping grounds for [...]

A while back we mentioned that we had some new interns in from U of O for the fall term. They’ve been on the job a couple of weeks now, and they’ve all been doing pretty well. We figured it was time everyone got together, so we all met up at High Street Brewery last [...]

Yesterday afternoon we had a visit from Zach, a local bloke set to hit the road in late October. He’s been using our Trip Planner to put his ticket together and thought he’d stop by to say hi.
Zach got the travel bug when he was 14, traveling to Thailand and Indonesia with his mum. He’s [...]

Kate and Andy had emailed us a few weeks back, telling us they’d be in Eugene on August 23rd, so we knew they were coming but didn’t know what time to expect them. As 5pm rolled around we began to wonder if perhaps their plans had changed. We decided to fire up the barbie anyway, [...]

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?

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 …
