Congratulations Ali!
It's about time that you got some well deserved recognition for all the hard work you have put into TB over the years. I get the feeling that this is just the beginning and there are much greater things to come where TravelBlog is concerned :)

Congrats!
Ali thank you so much for Travelblog. You are an inspiration. More than anything you have given people all around the world to dare to dream and find help on how to turn their dream into a reality. You deserve every bit of recognition and thanks again for giving us somewhere to play and share our stories.

''...golf (not much input from me there)...''
It is probably a good thing that you haven't done an Alice Cooper. Interviewers used to get excited about meeting this wild child of rock, thinking they would get lots of juicy details about a sex, drugs and rock n' role lifestyle for their newspapers, only to discover that now he spends his days playing golf. Some of them even get bored and cut the interviews short, and his surprised henchmen just smoke a ciggie, during the 10 minutes they used to have to spend hurling the reporters and their microphones out the nearest exit.

Your statement is so true...
I have just recently moved to Brasilia and I find this statement of your's very succinct: This city has been constructed for the comfort of the elite and the memory of the architects. "This city has been constructed for the comfort of the elite and the memory of the architects." Love your photos, I am a photographer as a second trade and I have shot Brasilia many times. Great city for photographers to enjoy their art.

We're all so Lucky !
So many others have said some and all of what I want to say already. Sometimes out of adversity and not so good times, really good things come and TravelBlog is one of those things. Ali, you've created a site that is simple to use and understand, even for those of us in our so-called "golden years". Since 2005 I've been using TravelBlog to share my travels with friends at home, just like you started doing 10 years ago. So envious of your youth and "breaking free" of some of the leashes of our lives to travel the world. I'll never catch up but thanks to TravelBlog I'll slowly continue trying. Thanks for TravelBlog !

Congratulations on an amazing platform and the journey its taken you on. Its certainly a long way from the smelly room at Paston all those years ago :) I wish you and M all the best in your new adventures together. Shame really as it means I will have to come and visit you both in California. Wherever you end up you know you always have a place to stay in Cambridge. Take care mate.

Thank YOU
Dear Ali, thank YOU for keeping this site so wonderful. I feel a little guilty couch surfers like me made you lose so much sleep over maintaining this website. Consider moving to Singapore! Eduardo Saverin, the facebook co-founder is based there (so it can't be that bad) and it's only a few hours away from KL, i.e. still close to all the wonderful diving sites. ;)

Thanks for all the hard work!
Wonderful to read your story Ali. I'm so pleased I picked Travel Blog nearly 6 years ago. Many happy returns and here's to the next 10 years being awesome!

Congratulations on 10 years!
Like yourself, degree in Computer Science, worked for an IT company in London, end of a relationship sent me off to accumulate 3 years exploring the world. Your site introduced me to the concept of blogging. I find it great motivation to keep going, searching for the next outlandish story to beat the last, pushing the boundaries of Travel. My blogs have been picked up by a couple of media companies thanks to Travelblog, one was even used for a Graduate course in Writing Strategy! Not bad for one who failed GCSE English at School! Thanks for helping me to discover a creative and artistic side I never knew existed - Congratulations on 10 years!

Great Job Ali
Thanks mate for all your time and effort. Great way for travellers to stay in contact throughout the world. What an amazing life you've lived and great example of just what life can bring you. Well Done!!!! Hopefully I get to meet you one day and shout you a beer for your effort. Keep it up mate
