Facebook Group for Travel Bloggers 40 and Over
Just a little note to let you know I started a Facebook group for Travel Bloggers 40 and Over. The blogging community is a great group, but sometimes those of us over 40 don't feel we fit in. So many great bloggers are young, single, and traveling all over the world. I thought maybe we needed a niche for those of us who love traveling but maybe aren't as active and have families and limited time and budgets.
So come on over and join us for friendship and support. We can discuss our travels, travel photography, and the nuts and bolts of blogging!
