The Best (YET) of JourneyingJames: My 7 Links

First of all, thank you Lois & Chichi (SoleSisters) & Ivan Lakwatsero  for tagging me to do my 7 links.

This is also my 1st Year Anniversary of (for lack of better term, SERIOUS) Travel Blogging…

Here’s the Best (YET) of JourneyingJames (expect more adventures to come in the next months):

 

Your most beautiful post

I guess everyone is excited to see me with someone special. Don’t worry, she will come soon! I’m not in a rush though. For now, I’m still enjoying the single life and traveling solo. You should read this! You read it already? Read again or SHARE! 🙂

No Money, No Honey or Why I Travel Solo?

Solo at El Nido, Palawan (thanks to the 10-sec timer)

 

Your most popular post

All friends and contacts are ecstatic when they learned that I was on national TV. Even up to now, I still can’t believe that I made it on TV. Again, I thank Jessica Soho’s researcher, Tin and of course Ms. Jessica Soho.

My blog instantly reached 1,000+ hits/per during that week.

I’m on TV! Thanks Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho Summer Special (Click the link and watch my 4 minutes of fame)

Dear KMJS, sa uulitin…

 

Your most controversial post

It was actually a shared to me by FlipNomad. During those times, I was blogging about Palawan, a province that I truly love and have considered my second home. I instantaneously copied the petition letter from Ms. Gina Lopez and cited some reasons why I support No To Mining in Palawan. Until now, people are debating on the comments section, 200+ comment and counting.

No To Mining in Palawan- A Petition Letter

 

Why would people destroy such a paradise?

 

Your most helpful post

I guess this is the most helpful post as I always see on my tracker that people are searching “Cheap Accommodation in Camiguin.”

Cheap Accommodations in Camiguin Island

 

A post whose success surprised you

This was actually part of a 6-part series about Palawan- a deep reflection in an uninhabited beach cove in El Nido. I ask myself, “Why is it that I only see a few Filipino travelers?”

Palawan Chronicles: Solo Beach Camping in El Nido (Part 2)

 

A post you feel didn’t get the attention it deserved

This was a trip down memory lane, most of the photos shared came from travels when I was not yet blogging. This I would call “the beginnings of journeyingjames.”

Backpack the Philippines: More than the Usual

See? Still young (shaved and sexy) here. 3 years before the Travel Blog

 

The post that you are most proud of

When I was writing this post, I finally decided that my niche would be “Budget Travel in the Philippines.”

In Retrospect: 14-Day Solo Backpacking Challenge

 

Sorry but I will not nominate or tag 5 bloggers. I would like to thank the authors of the following travel blog sites that were very helpful to me while I was still starting out my travel blog (you can also say My Top 15 Filipino Travel Blogs).

    i like that you included yung beginning…as blogs become more popular and old post become deeply hidden in the archives… seldom do the readers know the humble beginnings of each blogger…

      indeed flip, the truth is, mahirap din kapag nagsisimula pa lang.. link building, blog promotion, at kung anu-ano pang pwedeng gawin to gain readers.
      but then again, thanks to your genius- PTB! it is one AWESOME and EPIC group. sana meron tayong big time party, sponsored ng kung sino man! *wishful thinking*
