A panel of esteemed judges put me in the top-5 for the “Best Informative/Practical Travel Blog,” over at the Travvies Awards. So if you think I occasionally spew out some useful info here, muchas gracias for logging in a vote for the Cheapest Destinations Blog.
I’m in good company though, with two of the best frequent flyer info blogs around, SmarterTravel’s blog, and Wendy Perrin from Conde Nast Traveler. With the Conde Nast empire’s ability to out ballot-stuff little ole me a hundred times over, my money would be on that one, with me being the very dark horse in this race. She’s the one editor at that magazine that seems to understand most of its readers aren’t really bathing in money though (just wishing they were), so I won’t feel bad if she wins. At least I now get to put that cool little graphic in over on the right of this column.
There are some really good ones in every category, including some cool travel photography blogs I’d never seen before. And I have to give a shout out to Leif Pettersen’s Killing Batteries since he’s got a Romania story in the upcoming issue of Perceptive Travel. Anyway, go check it out at Upgrade Travel Better.
