    What I'm Reading

     

    Lots of bloggers want to make money online but few really know how to do it. This ebook by fellow professional wanderer, Nomadic Matt, is filled with tips, tricks and advice on how to build a successful travel blog, gain lots of traffic, and rank high in Google search results, as well as how to make money through advertising for travel blog owners.

    I was already doing well as a travel blogger, but this book helped crank up my rankings and revenue to a whole new level. Thanks Matt!

    2009 Scheduled Workshops & Photo Tours

     

    WALK WITH THE WAYFARERS

     

    You may remember that last May I went walking with The Wayfarers in Provence, France, and wrote about my experiences for their gorgeous new 2009 brochure. You can read the full article, here.

    In September, I’ll be packing my bags (and cameras) again for France and another walking trip withThe Wayfarers, this time to the historic Dordogne region.

    This beautiful area is known for its river and castles and although I’m not exactly going for the prehistoric caves and 15,000 year old rock art, I WILL BE going for the quaint villages, black truffles, wine & foie gras!

    This isn’t a photo-themed tour, but I’ll be shooting plenty and happy to answer your questions while we walk and talk. The walks are not too challenging and we’ll visit artists, eat outside and have time to relax in lovely country house hotels.

    JOIN ME!!

    September 27 – October 3 with a day or two on each end for time in Paris or kayaking on the Dordogne.

    Currency bonus $400 off per person – net cost $3,395. Airfares are down and the dollar is UP!

    Think it over and let your friends know - this trip is not limited to females.

    I hope to see you in FRANCE.
