A sneak peek of our Wondermap

Spring has sprung in Seattle and we're emerging from our iMac induced web development comas and heading out into the world. We've got some events and travel coming up to share.

This Thursday, May 13th, 2010 we'll be at SCOOT (or the Seattle Consortium of Online Travel) talking about the idea and the progress behind our second project, the Wondermap a web app for planning and sharing your trips. If you're a travel addict (and well, you're reading a travel blog aren't you), we'd love to get your input on our upcoming beta test. It's not live yet, but will be soon (I've got circles under my eyes to prove it.) Sign up and keep up with it's progress over on our development blog.

And I'll be on the East Coast June 24-July 6 to attend the Travel Blog Exchange Conference in New York City and taking some downtime in the Washington, DC area. Travelers, readers, or anyone who's not a stalker, let me know if you want to meet up.

The desk I've been spending far too much time at.

Perhaps a more appropriate title for this post should be "Why Kelly has been a terrible blogger in 2010." You may have noticed that I've been in a bit of a blogging slump. I could give you a list of excuses, that I've been busy working on another project, The Wondermap or that I've been spending what's left of my time afterwards offline. Sure, that's part of it, but I came to realize a few days ago that my problem might be one that others share. I didn't have any trips planned. It's hard to inspire other people to travel when you yourself lack such inspiration.

2009, despite all of its economic turmoil, was a good year for us, both in our travels and for Travellious. We wrote some fantastic articles, got lots of good press, traveled even more than we hoped, and met lots of great people while doing it. To top it all off, we finally got started on a long-awaited project, now known as the Wondermap. Bear with us, this post is gonna be a long one.
