Thanks for your insight on Travel Blog Exchange conference.
Unfortunately I didn’t hear about the conference until it was too late to attend,
but would love to attend the next conference.

Thanks,

I don’t know why TBEX bring out the divide and conquer side of travel bloggers. I think last year it was the whole blogger vs. writer vs. journalist vs. whatever bruhaha. This year it appears to be literature as authentic travel writing vs. service pieces, lists, and short tips as junk. And in between was the whole debate about what constitutes authentic travel vs. mere vacationers.

It saddens me to think that people think the world of travel is so small and the writers of it so small-minded, as to not recognize that there’s plenty of room for everyone to co-exist. Really — it can all be good, regardless of style, preference, or approach.

Great points Kara. I wasn’t there but I understand the feeling of, “Hang on, the whole world of travel writing, including travel blogging, surely can’t just be travel lit and dangerous adventures, can it?”

I love reading great travel literature, don’t get me wrong, but service pieces and specific info about “ordinary” vacations are very important and necessary.

It’s a big world and there’s room for everyone.

Apologies if others have said this; I am commenter #61 and I just couldn’t face reading the other 60. Mea culpa.

Roll on, The Vacation Gals!

Thanks so much for the shout out. I really enjoyed the opportunity to finally meet you at TBEX, and I wished we had gotten a chance to chat more.

The panels were really jam-packed, weren’t they? That was probably my biggest frustration – I wanted to hear more from everyone, and it felt like half of the allotted time was gone before the introductions were done. On the Niche blogging panel, I made a decision not to exacerbate the problem by answering the questions myself, but of course that was tricky for me because I have a lot to say

I was bummed that it was so hard to meet up with my favorite family travel bloggers – I always learn so much when I get around other people who are doing what I do. Next year I’ll do a better job of scheduling in time to meet with different folks instead of assuming that I’ll somehow bump into everyone during the two days.
