I have to admit. When it comes to commenting on other travel blogger’s post, I’m a major failure. I do a horrible, horrible job. Tweets, on the other hand, I rock at. I’m not entirely useless.

To my readers who take the time and effort to leave your thoughts on my blog, I will be doing a monthly Travelers Toast to highlight the top commenters of the month.

Here are this month’s top commenters:

@Ayngelina | Bacon Is Magic
A canadian native who caught the travel bug during a summer in France, Ayngelina left the advertising world for a solo RTW trip. She abandoned her boyfriend and is currently making her way around Latin America, recenting visiting Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua & more!

@AndiPerullo | My Beautiful Adventures
Andi is a Chinese Medicine Doctor who grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina but New York City is where she calls home. Her blog, My Beautiful Adventures, is indeed beautiful. Brightly saturated photos stream from every single one of her travel posts.

@Conniehum | ConnVoyage
Connie recently wrote a guest post, VolunTEARS: A Tale of Woe From a Traveling Do-Gooder, on A Pair of Panties & Boxers about her bad experiences volunteering in Nepal. She left New York City and her quit her job at an international consulting firm to embark on a “fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants-while-I-slowly-meander-around-the-world journey.”

@FranciscoJenna | This Is My Happiness
Jenna is a mom with a full-time job who wants to keep exploring the world. She’s traveled extensively when she lived in Czech Republic,

Bad Travel PR Pitches From Bookingwiz.com & Globester.com

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I’m a nice girl. I don’t like starting ruckus but the PR department at Bookingwiz.com & Globester.com apparently doesn’t  understand what I mean when I ask them politely to take me off their email blasts. I’ve asked them at least twice to remove my email address. Fail.


Since May, I’ve received multiple emails with a list of URLS and a request for link exchanges from:

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Mac Tyagi and Peter Mac is probably the same person. If you’ve been successful removed from his email blasts, please let me know your secret weapon. Thanks!

Have you ever had to deal with bad PR from travel agencies?
