We are very grateful to Maninder Kaur, from My foot prints around the Globe, for nominating us and entitling us to nominate 15 other bloggers. Thank you again!  Maninder was bitten by the traveliquito bug, her own words, and now you can join her in her journey as she shows you how you can turn your dream of traveling into a reality, as she leaves her footprints around the globe. Follow her and enjoy the journey along with her!

How and why we started blogging?

In 2014, we first started off with this blog so we could have a platform with recent information, that we wanted our readers to be able to access before hand, instead of waiting 3 months to read about it in our magazine. Now the blog has grown to not only “report” recent news in Suriname, our country, but also news from abroad, traveling experiences, reviews, recipes and more.

My two pieces of advice to brand new bloggers

1. Write about something you love or are passionate about. Enjoy each post you write, and if you don’t… do not publish it yet.
2. Be committed and always be yourself. When you start your blog, create content before you go public. That’s one thing we didn’t do at first and sometimes still “struggle” with. Commit yourself to a schedule, start writing and try to at least publish once a month.

Drum-rolls please… and here are my Nominees

This was the hardest part about this post! It took us a little more than a week to go through all the eligible blogs and it was really difficult to choose from. There is so much great talent out there! We went through all the blogs and even got to learn new things, recognized different languages and got to love and follow some of them because of the purity in their blogs.
