The Globetrotter Girls nominated us to take part in the 7 Links project started by Tripbase. The idea is to dig through your archives and choose some old posts for certain categories. We took part in the 7 Link Challenge a year ago so we’ve focused on posts we’ve written in the last year, except for our most popular post which is still going strong from our first month of blogging!
We are big supporters of the idea of career breaks – in fact it was our own year-long career break that led to our life changing decision to quit our jobs, sell everything we own and travel forever. Although not everyone will want to travel indefinitely, I don’t think there’s anyone who wouldn’t benefit from a break from their normal routine and having the opportunity to travel.
Happy New Year to you all!
2010 has been an amazing year for us, and a significant one: our first year as digital nomads. It’s hard to believe that we have been blogging and travelling for only 10 months. We want to thank all of our readers for your support – the positive feedback we have received has been incredible.
We have published 133 posts since our first post on 19th February 2010 and so, like a lazy Friends episode, we wanted to look back and share with you the most popular posts of the year.
This month we are pleased to be hosting Maiden Voyage‘s Gen Y Travel Blog Carnival, bringing you the best travel blog posts from the last month (well, actually the last two months as there wasn’t a November carnival).
I’ve been curious about Bueno, entonces for a while – I’d heard good things about this new breed of Spanish course and had enjoyed their free You Tube Karaoke videos – so when the opportunity to get hold of a review copy of their entire course came along, I was more than happy to take a look.
Bueno, entonces is a unique way to learn Spanish. It’s an audio/video course where you learn alongside David, a cheeky Brit, who has travelled to Buenos Aires to learn the language with Jimena, his attractive teacher who he can’t stop hitting on. The soap opera storyline is a great idea and keeps you wanting to continue – it can be quite rude and is often laugh-out-loud funny – and the languague used is refreshing as you learn how Spanish is actually spoken, complete with modern slang and and vocabularly that you’ll really need.
