Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy birthday… City Tripping. Happy birthday to us!! Yes, today marks the first birthday of our City Tripping linky. One year ago Cathy at MummyTravels and I delved into the world of linkies to discover more about city travel and create a platform for bloggers to share their city travel experiences.
We have read about cities from all over the world: large ones, small ones, cities we didn’t ever know existed. It has been an eye-opening year. We are so grateful to everyone who has linked up and contributed to the City Tripping community. As a thank you, we have some travel-themed giveaways for you to celebrate this week.
We’re each giving away two books from the Lonely Planet range (one for kids, one adult) so make sure you check out MummyTravels’ post too as she’s got a different set of prizes. And we’ve got two £50 vouchers for a photobook from CEWE to give away too – one here, one at MummyTravels so you get two bites at the cherry. Scroll down to enter… and to link up to the linky, of course!
For this week only, we’re both hosting the linky – then back to normal alternating next week. First up, our favourites from last week were:
Kidzania Singapore: Beginner’s Guide to Visiting – Bumble Bee Mum
Neighbourhoods of Venice – Life Long Holiday
Ho Chi Minh: Paris of Asia – A Hole In My Shoe
Sanity Saving Tips For doing London with a Toddler or Baby – Tin Box Traveller
As well as sharing and commenting on your posts, we will also be pinning them on our City Tripping Pinterest board so if you need any more city inspiration, be sure to check it out and follow our Pinterest board featuring past posts. Let me know if you would like an invite to pin on the board.
