Versatile Blogger Award




The Versatile Blogger Award
and the award goes to.......
www.fromatravellersdesk.com


It is an honour to be nominated and awarded the Versatile Blogger Award by fellow bloggers.  My sincerest thanks goes to International Couples who selected and awarded the title to this blogger. It's my first! Thanks Tony for the recognition.



From A Traveller's Desk got the award out of the seven (7) nominations.  I browsed all the other six (blogs) and found equally smart and well-written.  You may want to check them too as I consider all of them winners in their own right.

10. Featured Traveller

  
 Nelieta Mishchenko
Hostel Owner
Santa Rosa de Calamuchita, Cordoba, ARGENTINA


"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things"

Words from the Publisher:
I had the chance to interview a very interesting person known by her nickname Neliets.  She is our traveller from Argentina who hails from Santa Rosa de Calamuchita, a town located on the banks of Santa Rosa River in the Calamuchita Valley.

Neliets love to travel and take photos.  She enjoys photography so much that at times she sits on a bench and watch the world go by.  "Aside from travelling, this is one way of taking a break from my work in the hostel which is rough and too busy most of the time", she quips. "Owning and managing a business like a hostel is not that easy to pack up and go", she added.

Controversial Miss Travel dating website proves there’s no such thing as a free trip

How would you like to get paid to travel the world, relax in fabulous hotels and dine at all the best restaurants? Sounds pretty dreamy, right?

Well, that's what Brandon Wade is betting on.
Wade, the American entrepreneur behind controversial online dating sites What's Your Price.com and Seeking Arrangement.com has launched a brand new online initiative, Miss Travel.com.

"Miss Travel is another niche dating site with the idea that generosity goes a long way," Wade says. "The website is highly focused on the concept of traveling."

In fact, Miss Travel matches "generous travelers who hate to travel alone with attractive travelers who would love the opportunity to travel the world for free" reads the website.
Summation: Are you hot? Go on free trips with rich people! Are you rich? Pony up to go on trips with hot people!

It's all a little too Pretty Woman for the liking of some. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Could a free trip to Tahiti be any different?
