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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

New BootsnAll Message Boards

If you’ve tried logging in to our forums today you’ll probably be surprised to find that you’re unable to post or reply to topics. This is not a conspiracy to lock you out. We’re in the middle of upgrading our forums to something bigger, stronger, faster, better.
Not only will we have better profile pages, [...]
Commenting on BootsnAll Stories: What do you think?
Date: January 7th, 2009 | No Comments
It used to be on BootsnAll that you could leave a comment about a story you read and liked (or didn’t), but it meant leaving the story and going to the message boards to share your thoughts. That seemed a little cumbersome so we created a better way to comment on articles.
Now you can comment [...]
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

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 …
