BootsnAll & Kiva

by Hydro on December 23, 2008    |    1 Comment


BootsnAll’s travel community is made up of a pretty cool bunch of people. Not only will they answer your travel questions with their combined wisdom, they’re also very conscious of the world around them and prepared to give a little back.

Kiva is an organisation that facilitates micro-lending to Developing World entrepreneurs. Over time, those entrepreneurs repay the loans. The minimum loan amount is $25 per individual, but it gets to be really powerful when individuals group together, such as the BootsnAll Travel Network Groupies.

If you’d like to get involved, join our group and then let us know about it on this forum thread (you have to be a member to see it).

Hey Hydro—thanks for turning me on to Kiva and the ‘BootsnAll Travel Network Groupies’ team on their site. As of my joining, the number of team members is now up to 28 and our total amount loaned has increased to US$1,650.00. Anyway. It’s a cool project. Thanks!

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.

There's gonna be a Bootie wedding!
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]
