People who know me (and many who don’t) know that when I started working for BootsnAll back in 2006 I was, by any measure, the atypical BootsnAll traveler.

Summer Festivals Galore
Date: May 25th, 2010 | No Comments
Although you wouldn’t know it by looking outside the window in Portland right now, we’ve had a spate of abso-freaking-fabulous weather here lately. When the sun first starts streaming down on Portland, it’s intoxicating to the point of distraction – and it’s just a taste of things to come.
Summer brings out the festival spirit all [...]

[read more]Growing Up (But Staying True to Who We Are)

In the early days of BootsnAll, Sean and Chris wrote up a “Code of Conduct” and although some of it might not hold up in the company today, most of it still applies.
One thing that hasn’t changed is that we recognize that there are many types of travelers, and “all types of independent travel will [...]
Announcing the BootsnAll Travel Writers Platform
Date: March 1st, 2010 | No Comments
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 like work. It’s [...]

Date: February 3rd, 2010 | 1 comment
Generally speaking, at an internet company like BootsnAll most of the focus is on the future – writing the next post, starting the next site, booking the next trip. But this company has a fun history, and we quite like reminiscing about it from time to time. In fact, reminding ourselves what BootsnAll was about [...]

Date: April 30th, 2009 | No Comments
BootsnAll has always prided itself on being a little bit different. We’re still the only travel website out there that manually reads each and every membership application that we get. It makes the membership that little bit more valuable and keeps the majority of spammers away. In order to post comments on BootsnAll travel articles [...]

Member Spotlight
It's been awhile since we had a BootsnAll member stop by the office. However, thank to a recent post on the message boards wondering where the Boots Crew were these days, we managed to arrange lunch with Bideshi, aka Mike (blue shirt below).
With a couple of stints working in South …

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 …
