How Two Travel Bloggers Met | Bagni di Lucca to Trinita

When I started writing My Sardinian Life I had no set goals in mind. I hadn’t planned that my little blog could bring sunshine to the many colourful pockets in our world. I didn’t expect the positive comments of encouragement. I didn’t really expect anyone to comment at all! These were just my thoughts and daily life in Sardinia, Italy who would be interested in that?

I continued to post, comment and discover other travel blogs. I found new destinations and people, and put them on my bucket list. The list is now, virtually endless.

I am grateful to have met another blogger who has supported my writing pretty much from the start. How the world brought us together, or why, I will probably never know. I’m just happy it did.

Allow me to introduce you to Debra from Bagni di Lucca, Italy via Brisbane, Australia.

My Sardinian Life’s All-Time Blog Stats

It’s been awhile since I’ve written about blogging, and it seems only fair to share My Sardinian Life’s All-Time Stats, from the beginning of time.

Why do I think it’s important to share my blog stats with the world?

Because most bloggers are secretly obsessed with their stats, and I think too many bloggers focus on the numbers and not the content they write.

I want to show newbies to the blogging world, that it takes time. Patience is definitely a virtue.

Sardinian Local Experts Award

Sardinia Local Expert - CharmingItaly Blog Award

A HUGE thank you to the folks over at Charming Italy who have nominated My Sardinian Life for the Local Experts Award in Sardinia.

“The Local Experts Award was established as a way for potential visitors to Italy, Sardinia, Puglia and Sicily to get an understanding of what to expect and ultimately what to look forward when visiting the mediterranean.

It’s a huge honour to be among some of the best bloggers (on Sardinia) in the industry. Grazie mille!

Charming Italy’s enthusiastic effort in creating this award, has led me to a number of new blogs on Sardinia, which I am currently exploring. Here’s two:

Sipping Sardinia – An awesome expat blog from a Polish woman who lives in Nuoro, Sardinia.
Wandering Sardinia – This blog is written in Italian and English. I hope to make that jump one day!

Why don’t you head over to Charming Italy now and see what all the fuss is about.

One million thank you’s!

A Photographic Journey | Li Feruli | Sardinia, Italy

It started out as a drab, grey winter-ish day. Once the sun edged closer to the mountain top, the skies opened, to the bluest of beautiful blues. I met her in town, she asked “Vieni a Li Feruli oggi?”

A Photographic Journey. Li Feruli. Sardinia, Italy.

Tag You’re It

My Sardinian Life has been tagged!

A big thank you to Prettierinpink for the nod in my direction. It`s always appreciated.

On-line blogging games can be time-consuming, annoying, joyous, fun and can increase traffic to your blog.

My job in these last few years months has been blogging. I`ve learned a lot, and for me, one of the most important factors in blogging and or writing is feedback. Most of us write in the virtual world to get seen, heard, liked and respected. We all want that fifteen seconds of fame, right? Even if it`s fleeting.

With pleasure I pass this wonderful childs game on, but a few rules first …
