I have decided to share some blogger love with you. What does that mean? That means that I want to share some of the blogs, Instagram pictures and pinterest peeps that I follow. This week in follow Friday, I will be focusing on Travel Bloggers that I have met at conferences or that other bloggers suggested. I hope you will drop by their blogs or feeds and follow them if you feel so inclined.
I read their content.

I look at their pictures.
I listen to their podcasts.
Social media is a world that so many are involved in and yet the amount of people that you know about is so small. So here are my picks for this week:
Follow Friday
Travel bloggers/Travel Writer:
Without a Path – Joe Bauer – this is new to me but I was listening to his podcast interview of Girl Gone Travel. This was a great interview and I look forward to listening to more of his podcasts.
Girl Gone Travel – Carol Cain was the opening Keynote speaker at TBEX Fort Lauderdale and my friends that were there absolutely loved her.
Women on the Road – Leyla Giray Alyanak is a travel journalist and blogger. I’ve met her in Barcelona and had wonderful conversations about being a Canadian ex-pat. I loved her blog because it covers a variety of topics in-depth and with a personal view. This 50+ female point of view is something that I can appreciate.
Anita’s Feast – Anita and Tom are a travel blogger and photographer couple that live in Switzerland. They write primarily on food and wine. I met Anita in Barcelona on our TBEX fam trip. She was wonderful company on our very busy tour of the city. You may want to read her take on street art in Barcelona.
30DayAdventures – I met Marc Smith last week at the VEMEX conference in Toronto. He is, however, a Vancouver based travel blogger. His entertaining barb over and funny banter with the other travel bloggers piqued my curiosity about his blog. He covers destinations for 30 days. Check out his recent trip to New Brunswick: hotel, restaurants, market and attractions all wrapped together in various posts.
Thrifty Momma’s Tips – Paula Schuck is an award-winning journalist and full-time blogger. Her 8 part series on World Vision in Colombia is truly a wonderful testament to what this organization’s impact is in a developing country. Her raw and gripping travel stories about her visit last year are wonderful. I am grateful that she wrote about Colombia (my native-land).
Instagram:
Wandertooth – Geoff and Kate are a Canadian couple that live abroad. I met Geoff at TBEX in Barcelona and watched him as he took wonderful pictures on our fam trip to Barcelona. He has a wonderful eye and I love seeing his beautiful pictures. It just makes me happy.
Hecktic Travels – Dalene and Pete recently spoke at a Travel Massive event in Calgary and one of my favourite bloggers posted it in her feed. So of course I had to investigate. I fell in love with their pinterest boards because they are so ORGANIZED. You know me and organization. I love it.
Continents and Condiments – Cédric Lizotte is a young French Canadian journalist that was also on our fam trip to Barcelona. He was fascinating (and at time amusing) to listen to because he was fairly liberal in his sharing of stories. A seasoned food and travel blogger, I follow his ‘magazine’ on Facebook because I love reading his content both in English and in French. I like that he posts some of his articles from different publications there also.

What a kick to find Anita’s Feast in your lineup, Margarita! It was a pleasure to meet you in Barcelona, and our time together in that fabulous city was great fun. Your Friday-Follow post is a good reminder to take a look at wonderful blogs and social media pages I may have missed from our travels. Thanks so much for including us.
