Travel Destinations

Zhu presents: Helping Tourists (Or Not) | Correr Es Mi Destino posted at Correr Es Mi Destino, saying,

When­ever I see peo­ple with a clue­less look on their face, a city map in one hand and a guide­book in the other, I tend to stop and offer help. It’s good karma for trav­el­ers like us. Plus, I’ve been there—lost in a new city, unable to read the damn map prop­erly, look­ing for direc­tions, etc. But tourists can be really weird.

Let me ask you a question. You got BC?

If you write well, have written something travel-related, and you haven’t submitted to the BTBC before, can I ask you a question? What are you waiting for? Blog Carnivals are free and powerful way to get more exposure to your work. By doing so, you reach multitudes, many of which have never even seen your site before, so it’s a real win-win-win situation.

So if you’re a writer, and you’ve written something that relates to travel, submit a piece you’re proud of to the next BTBC by going to the submission form. Just remember to read the simple ground rules.
