#TravelTuesday: Bitten by the Travel Bug
Tagline: Have you been Bitten?
Founded when the editor was researching information on working at an American summer camp, Bitten by the Travel bug is accelerating its development into a resource aimed at exploring other cultures and ‘quirky places visitors often overlook.’ Regular features often revolve around the ‘bug’ theme such as Stumble Bug Sunday and Travel Bug Tuesday.

Thank you for including me in your travel tuesday feature (and I apologise for not thanking you sooner!)
I’ll be settling into a steady posting rhythm from Jan1 – just trying to get plenty of content out there before I’m put on a time constraint by travelling!
Happy to include you. It is difficult to keep a strict posting routine from the road – there are just too many unknowns to take into account
Weird, I only just got a pingback on this today haha.
Are you still doing this feature? I’d love to take part 🙂

Hi Chris, I’m resizing all our photos so I assume that’s why you got a very delayed ping. We are not doing this feature anymore but if it makes a comeback I’ll bare you in mind. How about answering some questions or providing some tips on teaching in Korea?
