Hey!! This Blog Adventurez in Mexico has been nominated for the Ninjamatics 2011 Canadian Weblog Awards in the Best New Weblog, Art & Photography, Life and Travel categories.


The 2011 Canadian Weblog Awards are a juried competition with nominations open in 37 categories between January 1st and October 31st, 2011. 

The nominees shortlist will be announced on December 1st, 2011, and the winners will be announced on January 1, 2012.




I'm so excited!! This is so cool as just the other day I was thinking maybe I should put this puppy to bed. I mean I don't get paid for blogging, I don't even have ads or a donate button. I have tested both but for the ads, well I didn't care for the products and well the donate no one did, so just left my blog pure. 

I do love to share though and that's what drives me to blog. 

It's lovely to acknowledged and to win this would be really fabulous. Congrats to all the nominees! P.S. My blog Tina Winterlik is nominated too!

Harnessing the power of the Matador Network, the world’s largest independent travel community, BREAKING FREE explores the lives of real-life Americans who have dared to live their dreams.

Ditching routine, comfort zones, and their own personal fears, they have sought and found vibrant, purpose-driven lifestyles to inspire viewers of all ages.

Filmed in diverse locations around the world, each hour-long episode investigates how these remarkable people started over, understanding the unique challenges, goals and passion that allowed them to follow their heart.

BEFORE NOMINATING A CANDIDATE

We’re looking for candidates who:

* have broken out of the regular 9-5 lifestyle are living abroad in a foreign country

* have established a business, project, or something cool in their cities/community

* are an inspiration to everyone they meet

We are NOT looking for people who are simply traveling abroad. We want to learn the how and why someone takes the leap, and how they’ve learned to overcome their challenges and really establish themselves in another community.

Wow! What this guy says at the beginning about his grandfather having missed out on things and feeling he could have done so much more. Powerful!  and the part where the woman says she wants to experience more with her child, those two notes really touch home with me. This is nomination thing for Americans, but one day I hope it will be this Canadian- traveling, writing, exploring, sharing, enjoying life in the moment. Rich in time, not money.
