Good morning world!
This is a big day, I just received word that I was chosen as one of the top 16 bloggers in the Big Blog Exchange! I am so excited to be exchanging with Sara Rodriguez from Mindful Travel. I don’t know all the details yet, but I am going to Spain!!
I personally want to thank each and every one of you for your support. I cannot say thank you enough for all the positive feedback and support that I received during the voting process.
I am sincerely looking forward to this exchange and into reading all the posts by everyone during the event. I wish it to be a wonderful experience for everyone.
Special thanks to Hostelling International for producing the event, I really think that this will be a promising event for all!
Peace everyone!

Congratulations pal, indeed… 😀 the half of my wish came true… 😀 Right now I post a series of 6 episodes of my 2 months trip in Spain/Portugal back to 1993, so 20 years ago… I was writing this report to my paper, and now I re-publishing it on my blog… Anyway: I wish you a very fine trip – as kinda medicament to my pain, today I paid myself and my gf to a ten days trip to Greece in the first week of June… 😀 Follow your blog and your stories… see ya somewhere… Greetz: Andy
Andy, thanks for me being half of your wish mate, it would have been great to exchange with you in Hungary! I still haven’t been there and I’d really like to. Hopefully our paths will cross in the future. I’m glad to see you still traveling! Greece should be fantastic. Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to seeing your series on Spain and Portugal!
