BlogHer | Down Home Traveler

As mentioned last month, this July I will be heading to the BlogHer conference in Chicago and I couldn’t be more excited! BlogHer is a chance to meet with other bloggers, learn more about blogging and for everyone to expand their horizons! The Kavanaugh Report and The Naptown Organizer have put together a monthly link up for everyone attending so we can get to know each other a little better!

This is the second edition of the BlogHer ’13, ‘Get to Know You’ – Travel Edition!

Here we go….

1. Most importantly, how are you getting to BlogHer13? Plane, train, automobile?
Since BlogHer is in Chicago – we will be flying. Let’s hope for a safe and easy flight (and hopefully affordable).

2. Are you traveling alone or with a friend? Are you stopping anywhere on your way to Blogher13?
This, I am highly excited about! I’ll be traveling with my good friend, Heather from Terrell Family Fun. Heather knows all about gnomes, web design and most importantly blogs about being a fabulous mom to Lennox and wife to Kyle. Be sure to swing by and say hi to her!
Heather and I will also be rooming with Amanda from Princess of the Panhandle! Pure Texan, mama to a cute little Teale and wife to a cowboy… need I say more? Love her blog and I’m not going to lie, a little jealous of her ranch / cowboy lifestyle.
Are we stopping anywhere? Considering that we’re flying, I hope the only stop is a layover if we have one!

3. What is your least favorite travel story or memory of traveling?
Well… there was this one time when I was moving to Texas and had to drive thru West Virginia. Nothing against anyone from West Virginia but your highways are ridiculous and felt like it take FOREVER to drive thru. Let’s just say hills and curves the ENTIRE way.

Then there was this other time where I sat in an airport in Louisville, KY for 12 hours due to “mechanical problems” or something of that nature. That’s right 12 hours! I think that says enough. I don’t even want to think about it.

4. What is your favorite method of travel?
Driving. Hands down driving. You have control, you have your own comfort plus I love my car more than anything!

5. Name one thing you’ll look forward to your travels to BlogHer13?
I’ve never been to Chicago (besides the airport for layovers) so a chance to see this city first hand while meeting all these awesome bloggers is REALLY exciting!

This July, I will be heading to the BlogHer conference in Chicago and I couldn’t be more excited! BlogHer is a chance to meet with other bloggers, learn more about blogging and for everyone to expand their horizons! The Kavanaugh Report and The Naptown Organizer have put together a monthly link up for everyone attending so we can get to know each other a little better! There’s going to be a lot of people there!

Where do you blog?
Here, at Down Home Traveler! I love being able to share the places that I go, the people that I meet and the experiences that I have! I hope I encourage others to get out there and explore what’s around them!

What do you blog about?
Down Home Traveler is travel, food and music blog, which covers pretty much anything. Sometimes, you’ll find me driving around and I’ll write about everything that I come across and share some great photos! A new restaurant in town or one that I’ve heard about thru the grapevine, I’ll let you know what I thought! Music, who doesn’t love a live show… I’ll fill ya in on that front as well and give you tips about traveling along the way!

Is this your first time going to Blogher?
This is my first time going to BlogHer! I wish I could’ve gone last year as everyone says they have such a great time! I can’t wait!

What’s your favorite post you’ve written in the last year?
Just one?! I had a lot of fun last year attending the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh! There’s been so much, it’s hard to pick just one! (Gruene Hall and the San Antonio Missions were close.)

What are you most looking forward to at Blogher13?
Meeting everyone! This includes the friends I’ve made thru blogging but also the people that I’ve yet to meet!
