Boldlygosolo celebrates its third birthday this month! That's 21 in blog years, to quote "Bake at 350" from whom I co-opted the idea of this post. (Gawd, her cookies are gorgeous.)


Boldly Go Solo

 

No gifts please. No, really. (Unless you're offering a round-the-world ticket?) Just comment when the mood strikes. Oh, and talk up the site at all your dinner parties, upcoming holiday events and business meetings. That's not much to ask, is it?

I've really enjoyed creating and growing this site. My identity feels pretty linked to it now. The first question most people ask me these days is, "Where have you traveled lately?"

 

Boldly Go Solo

 

This solo travel blog gives me an outlet to talk about what I love. Without boring unwitting visitors by babbling on and on about my trips. And showing them all my vacation photos.

Only the people who are interested in solo travel, and loyal family and friends, read the blog. A self-weeding group. (If I'm boring you, it's your own darn fault!)

 

Boldly Go Solo

 

But enough about me. If there's something this site is not providing, that you'd like to see and that I'm able to do, let me know.

Otherwise, happy Thanksgiving, American readers. And all the best to all my other loyal followers.

~Ellen

    Congratulations, Ellen! 3 years is a long time to be doing this. I know what hard work it is, especially when its not your primary job. Think about all the lives you’ve touched in that time. Kudos!

    Congrats on the milestone. I know how difficult it is to keep plugging away at it.
    I’m around 16 “blog years” and counting myself 😆

    Better late than never – congrats Ellen. I never comment, but I’m a loyal RSS reader. (And I’ve been slowly adding to my own list – if you need more ideas, you’re free to borrow.)

    Thanks Tom. I love to hear from the readers I didn’t know I had. Especially when they define themselves as “loyal readers.” You made my day!
