MTTW Is 4 Years Old Today

Posted on by

Looking back, I can’t believe it!  I barely knew what WordPress was and yet decided to start a blog to help people create eco-tourism adventures on a budget.  Now here we are, 4 years and 1565 posts have passed since my tentative “Hello World” post back in 2012.

 

4th-anniversary

I’ve done a lot of traveling since then and have tried to keep up with blogging current trips first and then going back to do the historical trips.  This latest adventure which took place in April & May 2016 to Ecuador, Colombia and the Caribbean is still in progress with our first Caribbean island – Trinidad coming up next with some amazing birds!

For now, I can only say I hope I have helped and inspired people to get out there and see wild birds and don’t be afraid of the cost – you can use miles to offset a lot of it!  Have a virtual piece of my dream cake and let’s look forward to more adventures to come!

This Blog When I Travel Overseas

This will mostly make sense to my readers coming from the miles & points community as they are used to seeing some of their favourite bloggers blogging live from planes, hotels and airport lounges.  I have never been able to figure out why they aren’t worried about their home security, especially as many of them are very well known and publish their full names.  I am a lot more paranoid about home security.

You will never see me posting details and dates of upcoming trips.  You will also see a post appear every day on this blog whether I am at home or not as I pre-write them and schedule them to appear on a certain day.  I am lucky that since I don’t have a time sensitive “deals” blog and that my subject of travel for birding is pretty timeless so I can get away with pre-blogging!  It does mean that I won’t be able to answer comments until I get back in most cases since I travel to places where there is no internet or the internet is extremely expensive.

I am not traveling now but when I am, you won’t know until I get home and start blogging about it!  Until then, sit back, relax and enjoy the post of the day which will always be appropriate to the topics of travel, birding or both!
