The year 2010 is drawing to a close and I’ve had a pretty awesome time. This blog has only been active since September and while it’s had a slow startup it’s gradually gaining traffic and visitors. I thank you all for making this blog possible and keeping me going. Next year will have lot’s going on as well after my break in the states while I get back on my feet. While on my break, I’ll still be bringing you quality content about travel, safety and tips and tricks.
The following are the best 5 posts from this year that have been the most popular with you guys, one of them being a dedicated page to my travel gear. I welcome you to read through these posts and to leave some comment love. I wish you all a very happy and safe New Years and that 2011 will be awesome for you as I know it will be for me.
