Ten Seconds of Travel: Blog Me 2007
July 21, 2007 – 10:54 am | by nerd's eye viewYou know how I feel about memes. Meh. But because I’m off to BlogHer, an introvert in a land of strangers, I’m going to do this one.The idea? Lightning round style introduce yourself. I cover travel for BlogHer; that’s what I’m focusing on here. And honestly, I think it would be interesting to read yours if you choose to pick this up. If you do, drop a link in the comments, k?
- Crazy: Pakistan. We were trying to get to India and it was easier to get a visa in Karachi than it was in Tel Aviv.
- Guilty Pleasure: Hawaii, Viennese bakeries
- Romantic: Meeting my husband for the first time at the Ayers Rock campground at sunset.
- Surreal: Traveler’s hotel in Cairo, hallways full of huge old furniture stacked high with old newspapers.
- Good clean fun: The outrageously long sledding runs in Berguen, Switzerland.
- Lives up to the hype: Venice
- Planning: A trip to Vietnam to find out where my favorite coffee comes from.
- Scheming: Around the World in 80 Blogs (Ask me about this! I’m going to be looking for sponsors and hosts.)
- Never leave home without: Earplugs, patience, humor.
- Always forget: Shower flip-flops, sunscreen
- Travel companion: See above under “romantic”
- Most life changing: India
- Biggest challenge: I’m mostly vegetarian.
- Gave up: New Delhi, India, dysentery, Valdez, Alaska, incompatible travel styles.
- Favorite airport: Singapore – they have an outdoor pool!
- Gear lust: A professional quality SLR, a backpacker’s ukulele
- Destination lust: Angkor Wat, Bhutan, Turkey
- Home: Seattle. There’s no place like it and it truly is home.

Leave it to you to put the best spin on this one.

Jeez… surely you don’t mean like one of those Martin Backpacker ukes, do you? Eeew!
Sopranos are quite backpackable and if you’re concerned about weather damage, go Flea.

@HH: Actually, I was thinking of the Risa. They’re tiny. But I guess you need a pickup with those? I’ve got a Flea and I did get it for travel…

This meme is a great idea – each new one I read, I am all that much more excited. Sounds like there will be many amazing women to run into this weekend.
