Blog carnival

I was reading Claire’s First Time Travels blog carnival post when it hit me: why not propose this to the great guys at the Pinoy Travel Bloggers Facebook group? This would be a good way of promoting not only our individual travel blogs but of promoting the Philippines as well based on the different viewpoints that these peripatetic group of people from various backgrounds sharing their experiences and insights about the aspects of traveling in the country and around the world. With the warm reception to the idea, Pinoy Travel Bloggers’s Blog Carnival is expected to be a regular undertaking and hosting will be rotated among the participating bloggers. Note: Hosts of blog carnivals should not designate ‘nofollow’ links to participating travel bloggers. Logo by Lilliane Cobiao of Wanderless.com.
