The Outstanding Blogger Award

Thank you

Much appreciation to Catarina at Beauty Of Cafe205 for this Outstanding Blogger Award nomination, it means a lot to receive this kind of appreciation from a fellow blogger 🙏

See my answers to her questions and my nominations below:

1 Who is your inspiration when it comes to blogging?

I don’t think there is anyone – my inspiration for blogging comes from the satisfaction I get from creating my own content – I enjoy it, simple as that. 🙂

2 The best time to blog?

I think anyone at any time in life, whatever age can and should blog. Everyone has something to share that’s sure to resonate with or help another reader – so anytime is a good time in that respect. 👩🏽‍💻 👨🏻‍💻

3 Favourite topic to write about on your blog.

My blog is a travel and lifestyle blog so it goes without saying that I like to blog about travel (whenever I get the chance to go anywhere). In addition – anything that interests me or sparks thoughts I want to share. 🔆

4 Best viewed blog post this year? (Provide link)

Since this nomination was made in 2020 I’ll base the stats on 2020.

Dr Organic Aloe Vera Gel: Never Again!  received the most views in 2020. I posted it all the way back in 2017 and I’ve never re-posted it since, yet it proves to be one of my most viewed posts to this day. 🌿

5 Greatest gift of all time?

The gift of life – every new day, and breath. ✨

6 With who would you want to collab with and why?

I have no desire to collab with anyone – that’s not a motivation I have for my blog – it’s just my little creative/expressive space for now. 🤗

7 Your favourite quote?

That’s a hard one – I have hundreds of favourites, not to mention one’s passed down from my parents and grandparents, but cliche as it may sound I think “actions speak louder than words” really sits at the root of a lot problems in life, in the world and within relationships with others. Words alone are empty.

It’s the simple things!! (I guess that’s two quotes). 🤭

  4. 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.😊

    Congratulations Cherryl, for the award which you truly deserve❤️

  5. 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!
