Traveling Marla
My First Date
I felt shaky and weak and deeply embarrassed just to exist as Rob walked up to meet me in the ticket line. His skin had turned darker, his hair blonder, and his freckles more abundant from the summer sun. “Hi,” I said when he was in front of me, all my energy focused on keeping […]
If Marla’s Blog were MINE!
Well since Marla is moving and super busy I have been recruited to do a bit of a guest blog and make Marla’s blog mine for a day. Cue maniacal laughter… muahahahaha. No but really. I’ve been following Marla for a while now and we comment back and forth, she is such a source of […]
Stuck up a Turkish Mountain
I don’t normally do an intro, so today I’m writing one instead of an “About” since the author’s wonderful “About” page is better than I could summarize it. This blog is a repost with permission from my friend Dallas, of CrazyTraintoTinkyTown. When I asked her if she could write a guest blog, it took her […]
We Fall And We Get Back Up
Hey everyone my name is Colin and welcome to my guest post for Marla. I met Marla via each others’ blogs, mine being a fitness blog. After some time and many exchanges I ended up becoming her online coach for fitness and nutrition. Instead of writing a brand new post I decided to share one […]
Fourteeners
When I compiled my “Dream Team” list, I knew I wanted a variety of blogs I follow to share with my readers. I not only like Ingrid’s posts about her adventures, but her loyal following of other travel bloggers. Here is one of my favorites of her posts: Fourteeners Several blogs I follow share their […]
Silent on the Sidelines
Many many thanks to Marla for sharing her space with me! So one of the first things that grabbed me about Marla’s blog was that she seems able to make friends anywhere. I know, I know: she’s not without her awkwardnesses, and has shared more than one cringe-worthy exchange in which everything she tried to […]
Marla Made me Do It ;)
I’ve been asked to join the dream team, well Marla’s Dram Team, and really is there any other? As I thought hmmm what could a humble painter have to contribute to an amazing travel blog, run and written by a brilliant and talented woman as she. Then I remembered I just came back from the […]
Eternal Bubble of Peace
. . *** About Pierr Morgan: My name is Pierr (“peer”) Morgan. I’m a painter, illustrator, writer, crafter and presenter. I live in Washington state, just moved from Whidbey island with its Eagle’s view west across the shipping lanes of Admiralty Inlet to Port Townsend, the Olympic mountains, and an ever-changing sky, to Bainbridge Island […]
Marla Must be Crazy
Marla recently wrote on her blog that she was heading to live in South Africa and was looking for some of her favourite bloggers to keep her blog ticking over whilst she is packing and travelling. In her own words “I admit, I have a Dream Team in mind, a list of my favorite […]
A Dude’s Musings on Mother’s Day
I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy- I wanted Mother’s Day to be different this year. I wanted to continue my climb upward on the Mother’s Day Classiness Gift Giving Scale. Last year was pretty pathetic, a cheap card from Target and a box of […]
