I feel like I'm giving either too much or not enough. I don't want to be boastful but I don't want to be boring and Kong forbid I become conceited. It's enough to make a monkey not want to even fling in that direction. It really really is. I feel like I’m giving either too much or not enough.

If we don't like to visit those pages, then why should anyone else visit those pages, right? The only thing is-- the About Me page... it sometimes feels like the hardest part of the entire blog site.

I'm glad others follow the same motive of thinking it or speaking it to make it come true. I really hope my dreams of traveling the world do come true, otherwise this is just one big prolong fling, and not the good kind. @(^_^)@ I think your about me is doing a pretty good thus far, and I really like the idea of interlinking to posts that tie into who you are or more importantly where you are heading.

i like how your blog is a motivation for you to follow through with travel. i often feel 'saying it aloud'/telling people, etc. is a motivation for me to do X thing as well so i totally get it.

i hardly call myself a 'travel blogger' either. my lens is from personal experience so much so that i don't write like a travel writer normally would. i do travel, though, so i guess there's that.

I think sometimes blogs worry too much on updating their site with new posts and forget to update some of the static pages, most importantly their 'About' page. Thanks!

When you see a site that has an obviously outdated page, it's hard to keep up with their news/events/posts/jobs/whatever. Great post! A really awesome About page IS constantly updated.

I've changed it multiple times and never too my liking, but then again I guess it makes it a worthwhile attempt to be up to date with mine.
