Liebster Award

A few weeks ago, I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Melanie from Mafambani. She is a travel blogger who has passion for cool cafés, cappucino, books, languages, yoga and healthy food.

 

This award exists only on the internet, and is given to bloggers by other bloggers. It is a way to be discovered but also to connect and support the blogging community. 

 1. If you could earn money with anything, what would it be?

It would be from exploring this world and immersing myself in different cultures. I love watching TLC and wishes to be just one of the hosts who get paid to see different parts of the world and eat all the exotic food from different countries. I wanna get paid doing something I love which is traveling.

2. When you travel, what do you buy to treat yourself?

All I get is food and a few clothes. But those mean nothing to me because the best treats when travelling are the memories and experiences I have had in each country.

3.What does a perfect travel day look like for you?

-Me on my own appreciating the silence and beauty of nature and all the simple things that a lot of people fail to notice.

4. Postcard or e-mail?

-both. it’s the thought that counts, yes?

5. What do you miss most when you’re on the road?

-rice paddies, warm smile of locals, exotic foods, and  exploring the unknown.

6.What does your perfect Sunday morning look like and where would you spend it?

-Waking up to the sound of waves crashing the shore then getting up and drinking smoothies and eating French bread and bacon and eggs. It could be anywhere as long as it’s near the ocean.

7. Breakfast or brunch and why?

-I’d say brunch because I am not a morning person but there is something about waking up early and getting to eat breakfast with the family. I’d say both. hehe

8. What do you read before you go to bed?

-I don’t read much anymore because of work. 😦

9. What’s your funniest story from your travels?

-Creating amazing daily house chores inspired dance moves when we went bar hopping in Phuket and singing my heart out in one of the bars and maybe, just maybe, I was out of tune. -_-

10. We should never stop learning. What’s the next thing you want to learn?

-how to be brave enough to do a start up before finally conquering the world and do whatever I want.

11. What’s the craziest thing you want to do on your bucket list?

-To be honest, there is nothing crazy on my bucket list. Everything is pretty normal.

 So, now it’s your turn!

Instructions to follow

Create a blog post on your site answering the questions that I have provided below. In your post, be sure to link back to the blog who nominated you (in this case, Iannesy from the Philippines) with a thank you and shout out. After answering the questions I gave, provide questions for your nominees. Now, usually you should select, list and link 11 other bloggers with under 200 followers and give them the instructions below, but here’s my concern. It took me very long to find other bloggers who are interested to be nominated. If I’m honest, it took me too long. So, if anyone of you don’t want to nominate others, I completely understand. If I would get the award again, I wouldn’t take it anymore. I recommend new bloggers to rather focus on writing content on other bloggers. That will drive more readers on your blog. 
For anyone still interested, here is what you have to do: 

Don’t forget to create 11 questions for them to answer. Notify your nominees and provide a link to your post so that they’ll know what to do. Once you’re done, come back here and comment with the link to your post so I can check out your answers.
