about danasglobaltravel

I just recently started my own travel business as a way to share my passion for seeing the world and learning about new cultures. I have studied and lived abroad and made friends from all over the globe - and now I am fortunate enough to help others explore world through my website, www.danasglobaltravel.com.

I write a weekly blog on WRAL.com to give insider travel tips and share my experiences  - I hope everyone can learn about new and amazing destinations and be inspired to try something new.

I love spending time with friends, my dog, and reading a good book. The triangle has been my home on and off for over 10 years.

Gooooood Morning! The weekend is almost here! I hope that you have a great day!(((hugs)))

Hi Dana: You might want to read this blogpost: http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/2699823/ -Angela

Good Monday morning to you! I hope that you had a great Easter!

I may be confused but I don't believe it was anything you have written I found out of sorts. My comments have been directed toward a Crystal Coast blog, that seemed much more of an ad than a travelogue. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused but I've not seen anything in your postings out of the way. May your business grow and prosper.

Well, although I'm not the community marketing person for GOLO any longer, I still value the hard work I did last year with the small business network. The information you have online IS valuable, and interesting. And there's no reason you can't have your tagline and Web site at the bottom of your blogposts.

But if you find that the mix wasn't well received today, perhaps you could alter your ratio to have about 95% memoir and narrative, and just 5% promo or quick blurb like "Get in touch if you'd like more info: URL" (or something similar). That shifts the business stuff just a hair, and it may be a more receptive within the community.

In the end, though, you need to do what feels good to you. This is your regular blog, and according to the tally up top there are 5144 profiles (and opinions). I'm glad to see you've stuck around. Your information is a nice balance; GOLO's strength is drawn from variety, I have always believed (and promoted).

Our home is in SONSONATE. In the town of METALIO (beutiful beaches) and in the community of LOS MARINES. While you're there you should swing thru. It's 35 min to the Guatamalan boarder. I never do too much sight seeing when I'm there, I only travel to families homes and back but there are always lots of beutiful things to see in route. I love the PUERTO ACAJUTLA and the IZALCO VOLCANO and I often visited the LAGO COATEPEQUE. I could also recomend riding thru GUAMANGO (a town close to Metalio) The roads there are paved around and around and around the mountains, with breath taking views, and waterfalls. A photographers dream! And you can not leave the country with out eating lots and lots of PUPUSAS, and stoping in to grab a bite from any POLLO CAMPERO!

Wow! Have fun in El Salvador! I go yearly! I have a home there, and my husband is from there,and there now! I lived in El Salvador from June of 2001 til Jan of 2003. It was no picnic though. The whole country is very poor, but where our home and his family is, is in a very rural location. So there are no paved roads, no electricity, and no running water. We have an adobe (mud) house, and cook over fire, and use an outhouse, and the children and chickens are our only entertainment. When I first went,I had to join all the others in walking down the mountain to the river to bath, and wash clothes, and haul wet clothes and jugs of water back up the mountain back home again.But since I'm fortunate, I had a well dug.(hand dug 150 feet down!)It took 2 mo to hit water! The landscape in El Salvador is VERY beutiful! And the people are wonderful! (just stay clear of gangs) cont....

wow! I've only been to the Bahamas and neighboring states. I'd love to go to Alaska and Canada.

Travel business--sounds like fun! Where have you been in the world?

I saw the London blog today and pointed it out to Angela, too. As I said in the blogpost, wish I was in London this holiday season!
