2012 has been quite an eventful year for The Occasional Traveller – have you seen my favourite writings and trips for 2012? This was also a year with lots of press and interesting partnerships and projects in the works. Let’s take a look back…
Partnerships
This was something new for 2012 where I worked with a number of cool brands to review/test their products for my readers and other travellers, or just to promote a good cause. If you’re interested to work with The Occasional Traveller in any capacity, check out my advertise page and just drop me a note and I’ll get back to you if I think we’re a good fit.
Micro Scooter Luggage
My first review video, scrappy as it may be but as real as it gets for the Micro Scooter Luggage, a suitcase with a built-in scooter kindly provided by White & Black Trading that I brought to Osaka with me.
Lomography
The good folk at Lomography loaned me a La Sardina camera on my trip to UAE and Munich, and it was fun taking a step back to consider photography from an analogue point of view. See how the pictures turned out!
Passports with Purpose
I took part in PwP for the first time and helped to promote a cause to build wells in Haiti. We surpassed the goal of $10,000 by hitting the $11k mark and congratulations to the winner of the prize I hosted.
Contributions and Projects
I had articles published in lots of places other than that of theoccasionaltraveller.com – Besides being a regular contributor at Go! Girl Guides and The Sojourn Diaries (now defunct), I also had some other fun articles and projects at other sites:
- Luxury Travel Stories – An Andalucian Night – Chipiona, Spain
- Take me to Travel – Gaudi Gazing – Barcelona, Spain
- Maptia – Places are like People – Seoul, South Korea
- Hejorama – Instagram Boss – Manado, Indonesia
- Travelmob – Bucket List – Beijing, China + Interview with T
- Yelp Reviews
- HellofrmSG Twitter Curator
- Everplaces Featured Blogger
Press
The Occasional Traveller also had a number of features and mentions in international and local websites.
- The Upcoming
- Blogshopbuzz
- Singapore Blog Awards 2012 – best blogshop nominee
- Wayfare Magazine
- Notabilia
In 2013, I can only hope to take on more fun and interesting partnerships and projects! It makes for a different perspective on travel, and perhaps a step towards making this blog self-sustaining! =)
