Camels and Chocolate – Kristin Luna

While on my quest for travel blogs, Kristen’s blog caught my attention. My first thought was “Camels and Chocolate? Why?” As I read more about her, all her blog had to say was, Kristen loved camels and chocolates. And she loved them a lot, hence the name.

Her blog’s innovative style especially the presentation of a Globe which keeps her followers updated about her last adventure as well as the next adventure she is set to go to, is classic.

She is well aware of her followers tastes and does not restrict her blog only to travel tips and ideas. Her blog represents more than that and you should definitely check it out yourself to know moreabout it.

Being the modest soul that she is, Sabrina confesses in her blog that she does not like to write about herself and her greatest wonder is why does every travel blogger say that they love to travel?
