MILESTONES AFTER 1 YEAR OF TRAVEL BLOGGING

We did it! One year ago today we hit publish on our very first blog post with no clue on where it was going to take us. There are a number of reasons for why we started Flying the Nest, but it all came down to our love for travel and needing a platform to share this passion with anyone who would like to read it. 

Hours upon hours have been poured into our little place on the internet and making it to one year has always been a goal we aspired to achieve. And here we are one year later sitting on a beach in Costa Rica celebrating Flying the Nest’s one year anniversary.
