Are you a travel blogger looking to work with new clients?

A milestone that would be easy to miss!
In the last 24 hours – and it nearly escaped my notice – we reached something of a social media milestone here on A Luxury Travel Blog. At the time of writing, our number of Facebook likes is at 140,405. You could be forgiven for thinking that 140,000 – despite being a healthy number –
We've reached 100,000 'likes' on Facebook!
Some of you may recall a post I made in May last year, titled ‘20,000 likes on Facebook… and counting!‘.
