TravelBlog Testimonials

When I first started traveling, I would send periodic emails to my friends and family to keep them posted on my trip. These emails were sans photos and were rambling narratives that covered multiple days worth of traveling at a time. Then came a monumental decision to live in Italy via a job offer. I decided that my practice of emailing was not practical as a means of maintaining contact with friends and family. Plus, few people got to see my photos
At the same time I wanted to maintain a journal that would be easily accessible to anyone that would be interested in reading it. I am a storyteller. Have been my entire life. I wanted a platform that would efficiently enable me to tell my stories to friends, relatives, and strangers. And what story is complete without photos? I looked for the best site that would be easy to use (I have about a 20 second fuse with technology) for myself and the reader.
I looked at other sites and found travelblog.org to be pleasing to the eye (aesthetics...you know!) and tremendously easy (I'm a techphobe) for me to navigate and utilize. Who could ask for anything more? Thank you travelblog.org!!!! Reply to this

I learned about Travelblog in 2006 when some friends of our friends were traveling around the world with their two kids. I loved the web site and waited each week or two for them to post a new blog. At the time my husband and I were getting itchy feet and began to plan our own around the world trip- which we did in 2007. Writing our blogs has enhanced our journey and allowed our families to keep up with us and know that we are safe.
Travelblog is the best and user friendly.
Since our return from the around the world expedition we continue to write stories about our travels and send them to our friends because they continue to provide positive feedback.
We recommend travelblog to anyone who is planning to do some travel. They agree with us that it is a valuable travel resource. Much like a travel agent was in the old days in that you can learn where you hope to go and what not to miss!! Reply to this

Travelblog not only keeps my friends informed of my adventures, but as a writer, it is a great medium to explore different literary devices for more polished, published work.

Travelblog is great, it is easy to use (especially in those places where internet is reaaaaaalllyyy slow), and has so many great attributes to it. The best thing about it is that you can choose to use a function or not, so if you have plenty of time and a quick connection you can put in maps, or use the multiple photo uploader or some other great function, whereas if you have no time and a slow connection you can just choose to simply write a blog and put just a few photos on. The forum is great as well, and kudos to all those who make it all work and keep it running! Thanks!

I use travelblog to keep in touch with my family back home whilst I am living and travelling abroad. It's easy for me to update everyone at the same time, and they enjoy reading about what I've been up to and looking at photos I've taken. It's a great personal record too!!

A great way to let people know whatever you are doing abroad. I started my first blog, when I was doing an internship in Thailand, had absolutely no clue of web-editing and could by these means share pictures and experiences every day with just a few clicks. Now, the wonderful journey of life through the first years of our daughter has become our current project. Great to let the family in, if you are living abroad...

My partner and I used TravelBlog last year and thought it worked very well. I found it easier to send the photos and descriptions on the fly, using this blog site, than sending many, many emails as I had done the previous 7 years of travel. Also, it gives the recipients more leeway in that they don't need to open each one; they can catch up on all of the blogs when they have some time. Or they can unsubscribe if they wish.

After our travels were completed last year, I made a book, using Drop the World publishing which works with TravelBlog. The book was very easy to put together as the text was already written. It just required a little arranging of the photos. The book is beautiful! We're so proud of it and have shown it to so many people. When we up in years, we'll be sittiing on a porch somewhere in our rocking chairs leafing through that book -- and hopefully more. Reply to this

Travelblog keeps me travelling even when I have already returned home several month ago.

TravelBlog is on the way to become the FaceBook of travels and travelers.

I used it some years back to record and share my trips. It is easy to enjoy reading other people's stories, to get in touch with other travelers and to comment on the forum.

I recommend it to anyone suffering from itchy feet!

Travelblog is the best way to research trips, look at amazing photos of places you aspire to visit & it is a social networking site for REAL travellers.

I joined to do research for my honeymoon & once I started writing blogs to remember the bits in between the sights/diving/safaris/treks I was addicted, if it’s possible I think I enjoy researching my trips even more now than I used to.
