A to Z Blog Challenge Round-Up and Reflection

It’s over! I did it!  I can spend time outdoors and get back to my life now!

I’m kidding, it really wasn’t that bad.  I cheated pre-planned a bunch of posts, so I only had about 10 or so to actually write in April (the month of the challenge).

I definitely saw my blog traffic increase this month, and have found a bunch of other travel sites to add to my blogroll.  Participating in the challenge tested my strength of writing for continuous days at a time, and in my opinion, feel that it actually strengthened my writing abilities a bit.  Giving myself a pat on the back that I came up with (and wrote about) some pretty interesting travel topics (in my opinion, hope you all can agree).

If you missed the challenge, lucky you, as I have compiled all my entries in a neat little post, below:

A is for ATV: My New Preferred Method of Travel
