What can I say, I’m glad I was the one holding the camera.

The BootsnAll staff weren’t quite strangers since we connected online 18 months ago. Still, seeing the wizards working behind the curtain and swapping travel stories till the wee hours of last night was the best way for us to remain in a traveler’s frame of mind.

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.

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 …
