Be Inspired: Travel Tales #1
This summer I’ve spent time thinking about the direction of this little space I call home on the internet and the direction of the Be Inspired series and how they fit together. And then one day while I was running (because I run EVERY single day lol!) I had an idea…I want to be inspired by other people’s travel adventures because I don’t have time/money to travel every week…so I’d at least love to do it virtually! And so, Be Inspired: Travel Tales was born! This is a travel-themed link up (because I can’t seem to find any of those anywhere!) where you can share your travel tales and take virtual travel adventures by reading other people’s tales. If you don’t have a blog post to share you can still explore the posts that are shared and maybe you’ll even be able to plan your next vacation!
I’m not a huge fan of a long list of specific rules and guidelines for link ups but I’d like to make a few suggestions…
*I’d love to connect with you on social media (my faves are Twitter and Instagram)
*The posts you link up need to be travel related…so don’t link up your DIY projects!
*Don’t just link and run…that’s not fun for anyone! There are no rules about how many posts you need to comment on, but if you want to share your Travel Tales, go enjoy others as well
*Feel free to snag this button and share it on your blog to help bring more people to this link…the more people here the more travel adventures we can take!
And just so you know…the link up will go live every Monday morning right here on Girl on the Move so come back next week to link up any new travel related posts you’ve written!

Love this! Thoughts on linking up old posts? I haven’t written any travel related posts in awhile, but last summer I explored California and did lots of hiking. I wrote up a few posts on my adventures 🙂 I’ll post bere, but if you’d prefer newer posts, feel free to delete and let me know.
jmdenouden@gmail.com
I’m totally okay with old posts…I think we can use all of the travel inspiration we can find!!!
Lauren
Love this idea.. I dont travel as much as I would like, but I love living vicariously through others!! 🙂

What a great link up idea. Very nice, I don’t travel often but I LOVE reading others that do and what they have to say so it’s a rather fun idea for me!

I love reading where other people have gone because it gives me so many ideas for my next trip!

Great idea to hook us travelling gals up, Julie! It’s so much fun sharing and learning from one another’s experiencs.
jmdenouden@gmail.com
I’m excited to have a place where people can share about their travels and non-travelers can travel virtually!

Yay, so glad you find it fun and helpful!

I love browsing this link up! It is so fun to see where people travel!
Jamie @ Coffee With Us 3
I love the idea of this link up! I used to travel a lot when I was single, and even was able to drag my hubby along before kids. But now, with 3 little ones, traveling doesn’t even sound fun– so I’m glad I can “see” new places through other people’s experiences for now!
jmdenouden@gmail.com
I’m hoping this link up is a great place for travelers to share their stories and for those who can’t do as much travel as they’d like to travel virtually!
ana
What a wonderful way of interacting with the blogging community. Look forward to reading bloggers travel tales.

Me too!
Yona Williams
Very cool…there is a nice mixture of destinations featured here. I really do love taking a peek into the travel adventures of others – some of the blogger’s photos literally blow me away…and I learn a lot in the process.
jmdenouden@gmail.com
You’re so right…some of the other pictures just blow my mind!!!
Becca
I don’t travel often. But this is such a great linkup for those that do!!
jmdenouden@gmail.com
And it’s a great way to “travel” virtually!
Chris
Great idea, but just so I’m clear, you’re looking for travel themed articles or inspiration, but just not our own work?
jmdenouden@gmail.com
The great thing about link ups is you get to link up your own travel related blog posts so other people can find your work! It’s a great way to engage with new people!
Donna
Looking forward to having a read through the posts in the link up! What a great idea 🙂
jmdenouden@gmail.com
