Getting travel advice the “old-fashioned” way used to require stepping out on the smoker’s balcony at your backpacker’s hostel and joining the conversation (cigarette or not). That philosophy—talking to your fellow travelers—still applies once you’re on the road, but these days it’s even easier to get advice via the Internet, plus share your wisdom once you return. And now with the explosion of social media, a new and almost bottomless layer has been added, offering the ability to tap your network of connections and seek advice from people whose opinions you probably trust even more than guys named Arthur Frommer and Rick Steves.

Hello Barbara: Your journey with writing has been quite similar to mine. At first I just wanted to know I could sell anything! I also remember getting business cards printed up just to convince myself of the change in my life. Now I've settled down to doing what I love for the pure joy of it. The Midlife Crisis Queen is on the right path. One way I know is that I've met some amazing people like you along the way! Keep up the good work Barbara!

After selling a photograph last year, I decided to officially create a business…bydamanti. My business cards had the same effect on me. Your journey is more directed than mine, but I can still relate to your evolution.

This makes me happy… and sad. I love to read your posts. Some make me laugh, some make me think, some make me cry, or get angry. I, for one, appreciated the diversity and looked forward to never knowing what I was going to get.

I understand the need for focus, though, especially if it help you pay the bills!! I wish you the best luck with your journey.

I missed you while you were gone. But left you alone because those ineffable silences are vital.

I like the change. And you aren't the only one who has been silent this past week... all my favorite blogs seem to have taken time for their authors to gear up for the New Year. I think I'll give my own blog's tag line some thought now. Gay Walker’s last blog post..Gratitude
