Liebster Award

As a newb to the blogging world, I Am absolutely chuffed as cheese to be nominated for this awesome award by the Charming Charnelle Coco Avontuur from In The Loop with Coco beauty blog

  

The purpose of the Liebster award is to create some exposure for your up and coming bloggers with less than 200 followers.

The Rules are as follows:

These are the questions Charnelle asked me:

How long have you been blogging?

I just started in January 2015 so that's 3 months

What do you enjoy the most about blogging?

I love sharing my experiences with people all over the world

How often do you blog per week?

I don't have set times, I blog as & when I'm inspired 

What was your main struggle when starting up your blog?

Figuring out how to use my iPad *giggle* I'm a pc girl!

Who is your favourite blogger?

I don't get too much time to read blogs, but when I do it's usually industry related. Meaning travel. I recently came across this blog by a guy who left his desk job to travel across Africa & not by plane. I totally love it!  www.traveltall.com

Oh wait I have 2, the other is the fabulous Sex in the CT with Manni Bradshaw

What are your blogging goals?
I'd love to one day be one of those "digital travel nomads" who gets paid for their travel blogs, in essence paid to travel.... :-)

What is your favourite thing about blogging?

I love recounting my experiences by putting it into words. It's very relaxing.

What is the worst advice you have received about blogging?

None

What is the best advise you have received about blogging?

Just do it 

What advise can you give about blogging?

It's like writing in a diary, a very public diary. Be real be you don't make up false stories, unless you're a comedian or scriptwriter. Funny thing bout the Internet if you present a fake story or review the truth will always find you out.
