With moving, Mexico, and a residual stomach bug I am a bit off this week and now I’m running behind. While I’ve been emailing with a few bloggers, I have no abroad blog (yet) for this week. Bummer. But like the greeting card says, “When life gives you lemons, stick them in your bra.” I figured I could use this opportunity to get some nominations for future Abroad Blogs of the Week. So here is the deal:
Criteria to be an Abroad Blog of the Week:
- The blogger must either be about to go abroad, currently abroad, or recently returned from abroad
- The blog must predominately be about culture/travel
- Posts should be fairly regular (at least once or twice a week).
- It has to be interesting
Requirements to be an Abroad Blog of the Week:
- Let me ask you 4-6 questions via email
- Send back your responses by the following Monday
- If you want (i.e. this is not a requirement), welcome any new readers from Global from Home the day I post our interview.
Easy, peasy.
If you would like your blog to be an Abroad Blog of the Week or know of another blog you think I should scope out, let me know! You can comment on this post or email me at elisehblalock@gmail.com.

Hi! Just found your blog and really love the About page. I’ve tried the link to your email above, but it seems to be broken. I would love to be part of this project.
Great! I’ll send you an email this next week. My email is elisehblalock@gmail.com.
Here is another blog to check out: http://ourdearladyexpatriate.blogspot.com/
I found it through one of my top favorite blogs – yesandyes.org – which you should also check out.
Thanks, Mary! I’ll definitely check her out.
We are leaving to go abroad to Carpi, Italy in two weeks. Myself, my husband and out two kids will be there for 3 months! We only have two posts so far but we’re now starting to blog our adventure and what we are about to do!
I’m a bit jealous! I’d love to interview you. I’ll be in touch by email soon.
Hi! We would love to do an interview for you but we haven’t received an email from you. I didn’t know if we missed it last wednesday or you are going to email us next wednesday. Either way we’re still interested!
Oh yeah one more thing…. we have the mauledbydesign.wordpress.com but our abroad adventure is under MauledbyEurope.wordpress.com
