Positive Feedback is a Good Thing
I love all that BootsnAll has to offer the independent traveler, and I’m still always really glad to hear someone say they’re finding useful information on the site.
The coffee shop around the corner from my house is, for obvious reasons, a place I go frequently. I know all the baristas. One of them is about to take off in April for a two-year Peace Corps stint in Eastern Europe, so a few weeks ago I mentioned that maybe she’d like to start a travel blog so she could keep her family and friends back home updated on what she was up to. She sounded like she was interested, but I had no idea… When I went in this morning for my coffee, she looked at me and said, “I got on BootsnAll yesterday and then spent four hours reading stuff! There is so much information there!” She was really excited reading about other people’s trips and overseas experiences, and also about eventually setting up her blog before she leaves. Now I can’t wait to read about her adventures from the other side of the world.

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?

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 …

Mentions of BootsnAll in the Twittersphere
[...] A friend of mine who works at the local coffeeshop is leaving in a few weeks to begin her Peace Corps career as a teacher in Bulgaria. She’s all kinds of excited and nervous all rolled into one, and she stopped me this morning when I went in to get my warm beverage to ask about setting up a travel blog. She’d seen the blogs on BootsnAll, but didn’t know anything about blogging, and wanted my input. We made plans to get together before she leaves so I can help her set one up and explain how the whole thing works. [...]
