Since there was no way I could possibly fit all of my favorite blog posts into one post, today I am sharing the second installment of amazing blog posts and series by my favorite bloggers!
Found Love Now What?: All I Want for my Birthday is an Elephant!
I love this idea! For her birthday, Belinda asked fellow readers to make a donation on her page which would go to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. What an amazing thing to do for your birthday! With the donations, Belinda announced that we were able to adopt 4 baby elephants! Belinda's blog is the one I go to when I need a dose of positivity in my life and this is exactly why!
Stamp in My Passport: Tourist in Your Hometown
I love Jess's series about being a tourist in your hometown. It's a great series and a good reminder that you don't have to go thousands of miles away to find an adventure! Some of the places featured are actually really close to where I live and I definitely want to check them out!
(I actually loved this so much that I participated).
Unlocking Kiki: True Love
This is a great post about the love between dog and human. As an obvious animal lover, I love this post. Kaelene's story about the love between her and her beautiful Golden Retriever is definitely a reminder of why I love animals so much. There is definitely a special bond between dogs and their owners and I absolutely love when people share that bond! Plus, her dog is too freakin cute!
From There to Here: Thoughts on Ethical Travel
Jay's post on ethical travel definitely struck a chord with me. There are definitely times when countries are under the microscope for different things that they do that we consider unethical and I like Jay's take on it. Basically what it comes down to when traveling is choosing what you can overlook and what you can't. For example, I have no interest in visiting China because I can't get past their laws that are causing people to kill their baby girl's and also because they require that products sold in their country be tested on animals. However, I could look past Amsterdam's legal prostitution if I decided to go there, even though I don't agree with it.
A Home Away From Home: Uganda & Rwanda
OK, so I couldn't just pick one post! Uganda and Rwanda are areas of Africa that I really want to get to! I get weird looks from people when I say this because of the histories of the countries, but seriously, look at Jenna's photos! They are both such beautiful countries, I couldn't not have them on my list! I also love the post about the non-profit she visited in Rwanda which is helping women to better their skills and earn an income! Any organization that truly helps rather than just throwing money at people is great in my book!
These and the others I shared are just some of my favorite posts by bloggers I love! This will definitely not be a weekly thing but I'll be saving posts I love and will post a Blog Love post at least every other month :) maybe more. I love sharing posts by other bloggers!
