WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN 6 MONTHS OF TRAVEL BLOGGING

Six months ago the first blog post on Flying The Nest went live. That post began with a quote by Michael Plain - “once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life”. The travel bug we have growing inside is still just as strong, but there is something else we have become addicted to - sharing our experiences online. 

After blogging for 6 months and sharing what we have experienced during our travels together with our ever growing audience has become so addicting and we love it! We started Flying The Nest to record our past adventures and the ones to come. Of course our end goal was to eventually use this platform to help pursue our dreams of travelling the world full time, but we did not realise that this would begin within the first 6 months of blogging!

Here are some milestones Flying The Nest achieved during it's first 6 months:

We could never of achieved any of this if it wasn't for all our loyal readers. We just want to say a HUGE thank you to all that have supported us during our first 6 months and we can not wait to share with you the next 6!
