Mark Ashley of Upgrade Travel Better has started the first annual Travvies, awards for travel blogs. I’m hoping Budget Globetrotting will be nominated by someone, but I wouldn’t be disappointed if it isn’t since there are a plethora of other superb travel blogs out there.

If you would be interested in nominating my blog for this, I’d be flattered. All you do is leave a comment including my blog in the comments area under the Travvies Category Budget Globetrotting would fit under.

• Best Group-Written Travel Blog
• Best Photography on a Travel Blog
