Blogger Recognition Award from Chocoviv’s Lifestyle Blog

First of all, a huge thank you to Chocoviv at Chocoviv’s Lifestyle Blog for this nomination, she’s a mummy who loves to share what she loves – on her blog you’ll get everything from her travels, including the Gobi Desert in China, where she experienced her first ever camel ride, to interesting and nutritious foods like sea cucumbers, as well as lots of her own impressive art work. 😘x

How my blog started…

I’ve outlined how I got started with Cherryl’s Blog on a previous post which you’re welcome to read if you’re interested…no fancy story really, it all started out as a just bit of fun!!

2 pieces of advice to new bloggers

1. Unless your blog is your career or business, you really don’t have to stress yourself out and bow to all the ‘rules’ and pressures to blog in a certain way or post a certain number of times a week and be super SEO proficient etc, (there’s a lot of blog judgement out there as well lol ) but its OK if it’s just a bit of fun for you/friends/family or whatever – go with your own flow and make it what you want it to be, in your own time, and at your own pace.

 

2. Be yourself, say what you think, give personal opinions, say what you feel, don’t worry about people disagreeing – that’s life ‘be a personality’ rather than sounding ‘text book’ and neutral about everything (those are the types of blogs I enjoy reading the most)…and will keep trying to live up to!!

Nominees for a Blogger Recognition Award

There are so many bloggers out there – what are the stats globally – I read somewhere that in 2019 there were 600 million blogs..must be higher than that now and probably still growing.

It’s worth noting that “there are about 70 million posts being published each month by WordPress users” according to optinmonster.com 2020.

Hefty figures!! My point being – it’s always very hard to nominate out of an ocean of worthy bloggers, but I love being able to shine a light on other blogs so here goes:

  1. https://gathsamana.com/  Jeena George (Motivational and Christian)
  2. https://oldbirdtravelssolo.com/ (‘Mature’ Solo traveller – and certainly young at heart)
  3. https://thkeyalifeinspiration.com/2020/10/17/work-from-home-blues/ (Thkeya’s Reflections on Life)

  10. Dhirendra S Chauhan – I am a travel enthusiast from Jaipur, India always full of curiosity to explore new places marked by some cultural, geographical & historical significance around the globe. Also I love visiting places full of adventure/mystery & have undertaken many amazing trekking expeditions to difficult locations needing toughness of body, soul &the spirit. I have explored most of Indian states/UTs to learn about their culture,had cultural exchange with people & learnt to respect their religious beliefs/customs.In September 2019, we went on our first foreign trip(50 days)to Netherlands, France, Belgium& Switzerland.Again in July 2022 ,we got a chance to visit Europe & have visited(75-day trip)Italy ,Portugal, Germany,Spain & Vatican city. The trips were full of amazing monuments,natural landscapes & places of great scenic beauty.Enjoyed the visit enormously.Having traveled so much I felt like travel blogging & here I am doing just that !Apart from travel-blogging I also like poetry. Basically I am an Electrical Engineer retired recently from Central Govt. Service after serving for 38 yrs. Meanwhile I have completed my Master of Social Work degree to pursue my Social obligations towards my fellow beings & am engaged in rendering Social Services to the needy &the disadvantaged ! Also I will like to pursue my new-found interest/hobby of writing Travelogues to benefit my readers by providing max. details like statistics, demography, historical origin, way of life , professions , languages spoken & the culture/customs associated with any place. While enjoying any tourist place, I simply advocate that one must also try to learn about the place. I travel and then share the collected information with the potential traveler .Hence the name of my site - Travel and share.😊

  16. Sheree – Cote d'Azur – I'm a sports mad Englishwoman, now living (thank goodness) in France, who developed a passion for cycling rather late on in life. I started the blog to keep my friends and family up-to-date with my adventures on two wheels, my recipes, my travels and my wonderful life in France. The title of my blog refers to when I first started cycling with my local club. I was always at the back of the bunch, until I slid off it on the first incline! On short climbs I could always catch back up on the ascent but on long climbs......I just used to bid them farewell and continue at my own speed. My cycling’s now much improved but I still get dropped!
