questions by Anurika

1) What Social Channels do you use and why?

I use Twitter and Pinterest majorly and Reddit on occasions. I love Twitter due to its engagement and how supportive the community is, it’s just beautiful to see. Pinterest, on the other hand, is incredible if you want to increase your blog traffic.

2) What is the scariest thing you have ever done?

If I say this, my brother will laugh at me. Ok, I will just go ahead. The scariest thing I have done is going on a rollercoaster. It makes my heart beat fast because I am scared of height. Whenever I get on the ride, I close my eyes. I can’t stand the horror of looking down.

3) What is your favorite Pizza Topping?

I love having mushrooms, chicken, corns, red, green, yellow peppers, and a whole lot of CHEESE.

4) What is the number one thing you need help with in business right now?

Its SEO and Pinterest. I would really love to boost my blog traffic

5) If you had enough money that you never needed to work again, what would you change?

I would travel the world through different means (Airplane, ship, train, bike, canoes, think of anything). I would taste different foods from different cultures, make new friends around the world. Live in luxurious places, take pictures, smile. Just have great wildlife

questions by Giulia

What is something you are fearful of and why?

I am scared of spiders and snakes. They are just really weird and scary looking creatures

List some favorite blogging tools and why you use them?

My favorite is Yoast SEO. I am so bad at SEO so it guides me on the right amount of keywords to use, where to put the keywords, remind me to always add internal links and external links.

My next favourite is of course Canva. I get to create pins to drive traffic to my blog.

What is something normally celebrated that secretly offends you and why?

Loud cacophonous music offends me a lot, especially in public places. I know it is public but you don’t have to be loud with your playlist. I like my peace even in public places

what is your favorite season and why?

I like sunshine, yeah you guessed it “summertime”. Everywhere looks bright and lively. You can go out without the fear of getting cold, wear any type of clothing you want and it feels liberating.

what is your favorite hot beverage?

My favorite beverage is tea

questions by Andrea

What is one trip you took or something you saw while on a trip that greatly impacted you?

This particular trip was when I traveled alone to the UK to spend some time with my cousin. I didn’t have my siblings around me giving me rules and regulations. I jumped from one bus to another, got lost, ate what I wanted, It was just so much fun

if you could travel anywhere and money is not an issue where would you?

I am totally going to Venice, Italy. Since I read this Dan Brown Book, I have been obsessed with visiting the beautiful city. I have seen many travel bloggers write about history and how enjoyable the place is, I have been eager to visit.

who is that someone that inspires you?

My dad. He is such a wonderful man. Always ready to listen and speaks words of wisdom. I really appreciate him and I am glad to have him in my life.

what is your favorite thing about Blogging?

My favorite thing about blogging is sharing. The part of hitting the publish button knowing the whole world is about to see your content is nerve-racking but satisfying. The part of you that knows that people will be more informed about what you are good at is bliss.

What is the most embarrassing thing that happened to you while traveling?

So on this particular trip, I ate the food served on the plane which did not go down well with my stomach. My stomach started making this noise and I knew trouble was about to arise.

Since I was sitting in the middle of the middle aisle, which is the worst place to sit on a plane, I found it hard to excuse myself and go to the toilet conveniently. The person on my right was fast asleep while the other is awake watching movies.

I kept excusing myself to pass gas in the toilet until I noticed he was grumbling and couldn’t take it anymore. Lol. Then a time came when he took his time to stand up for me but gas is not something you can hold for too long. So I conveniently passed gas along the aisle on my way to the toilet.
