A Traveler in the Foreign Service: Not much of a diplomat {Gadling}
Dec 20th 2011 10:52AM My boyfriend is a former foreign service brat and I have always considered going into the FS myself, so I will definitely be following along with this series!
On long-term travel, snobbery & judgmental blogging {Gadling}
Aug 13th 2010 12:58PM I agree. My boyfriend has a location-specific job, and it is his high salary that allows me to have a lower income from being a freelancer. Out of respect for our relationship, I only travel a few months a year, but I'm happy with that balance. However, I often get an attitude of "that's not good enough" from travel bloggers, and it annoys the hell out of me.

Aug 13th 2010 11:51AM I agree with you here. I often feel that those who are involved in the full-time travel lifestyle are often involved in it because they don't really have anything else meaningful to be involved with.

Aug 13th 2010 11:46AM Yes! I find it absolutely offensive when I have other travel folks tell me that the answer to my problems is to go abroad. Sure, I'd love to quit my job and move to Thailand, but I work for just above minimum wage and don't exactly have a job where it's possible to save much of anything at all. I think it's no coincidence that many of the "abandoned my job to travel" folks came from at least semi-high-paying fields like marketing, business administration, etc.

Aug 13th 2010 11:41AM Great post! I've shared similar sentiments on my blog before. I think that a lot of full time travelers forget that stationary folks can have just as full a life as travelers do. I have very time-intensive hobbies that I love and that I share with friends, a boyfriend and two cats that I love, and a small but cozy home to share with them all. I love to travel for months at a time, but I also recognize the value of what I have at home. I think that many travelers feel so at home on the road because they don't have anything worth staying back for. It makes me kind of sad, really.
Win a trip to Bangkok from Gadling and lebua! {Gadling}
Feb 20th 2010 10:54PM I've always wanted to visit Thailand, and this seems like an awesome way to get introduced to SouthEast Asia and add that region to my photography portfolio!
