I was so excited to get a comment from Letizia at Reading Interrupted that she nominated Global From Home for a Versatile Blogger Award!  Yay! Now it is my turn to pass on the honor.  But first the rules:

•  Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
•  Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
•  Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. ( I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)
•  Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site.
•  Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

Here goes!

Letizia, THANK YOU! I also think Reading Interrupted is pretty grand and hope many more people will enjoy all you have to share.

I’ve been reading a TON of blogs lately so I have a lot of favorites but here are 15.

• Healing Pilgrim – a journey of healing in Bali
• If you ever find yourself in… – a great blog to help plan your next vacation
• Travel Thayer – a new ESL teacher’s stories of living and teaching in Korea
• Born Again Brazilian – a New Yorker moves to Brazil and embraces the culture
• The Cantaloupe Tales  – tales from a study abroad returnee coming home from Morocco
• Erin Flew the Coop – a Peace Corps volunteer’s experience in Thailand
• Cristian Mihai – for such a young person, he sure does know a lot about self-publishing
• Partners for Peace – Mari and Paul are Peace Corps volunteers in Ecuador and just helped open a pizza shop
• foldedcranes – one of my favorite travel blogs by an Aussie
• sanipanini – it is crazy what this girl can do with just a panini press
• Clearing Customs – a returned missionary from Taipei examines how cultures collide
• The Domestic Man – awesome recipes, many with an international flare
• Left Turn Ahead – this blogger jumps head first into a new life in Ireland
• Study Abroad in Kazakstan – I think the name speaks for itself; the blogger heads out to Kazakstan this fall
• Turkish Musings – one more study abroader about to head to Turkey this fall

Seven things about me:

1. I’m often mistaken for being 16-years-old when I’m actually 30. I’m not sure if it’s because I have a baby face or because I’m the size of a 5th grader.

2. I have read Pride and Prejudice 6 times.

3. I was a professional sorority girl for two years.  Yep, I worked for my sorority and traveled the U.S. doing leadership training.

4. My favorite color is navy blue.

5. I am obsessed with sending and receiving postcards.

6. I start wrapping Christmas presents in October. It is one of my top 10 favorite past-times.

7. Even though I live in San Diego, I still go to a church in Atlanta. It’s so good Hubby and I get up every Sunday and watch NPCC online with coffee in hand.
