The Big Blog Exchange

Hey all!  I'm not one to participate in online contests usually but this one seems a little bit different.  It's called The Big Blog Exchange.  The premise is pretty simple.​  There will be 16 bloggers chosen to live for 10 days in another part of the world.  They will guest blog on a local bloggers website during the time they are there.  My favorite piece is getting to stay somewhere for 10 days to experience what it's like to be a local. 

Some of you might know I like slow travel.  I prefer to spend more than a few days in each location when I travel...usually a week or two, sometimes more if I can.  This allows me to immerse myself in a place.  I get to know my neighbors if I am renting an apartment.  I find a favorite coffee shop or lunch stop.  I get to know the people who run these businesses.  I learn how to use public transportation to get to/from my "home" for the week.  It's nice to get into a rhythm for a bit when you are a traveler.

I would appreciate votes (and favorites...click on the heart to do that!) so that I can make it to the top 100.  My page for voting is here: http://www.bigblogexchange.org/blog/93004

​Thanks so much!
