I started my travel blog, Kaleidoscopic Wandering in June of this year as a way to record my journey as a Digital Vagabonding Roads Scholar. Who knew that so much could happen in seven short months?

Since June, Kaleidoscopic Wandering has blossomed to nearly 70 posts with more than 350 comments. Nearly 90 people follow this blog via RSS, 148 of you are fans of its Facebook page and almost 1,500 followers are kept updated on this blog’s contents via Twitter.
