It’s been a while since I’ve done a #BloggingDesk post but to be honest, I’m at the point with the internet and Instagram that this post is a long time coming. After blogging for more than a decade, I’ve seen the space change and morph over the years and with… Read more

I started working with travel brands years ago here on Land of Marvels when I barely had a following and even now that I have a larger following, I’m still not a “big blog” in the industry. The truth is, I work with a lot of travel brands based on… Read more
I’ve seen a lot of posts lately from bloggers I’ve followed for a long time talking about how much blogging has changed in the last 5 years. And it’s completely true. When I first started blogging it was an entirely different world. It was more personal. It was more sharing…. Read more
