Business Directory for Chicago, Illinois

F.A.Q.

What do you write about on your blog?

Anything that strikes my fancy; but I am trying to keep this particular blog narrowed down to the following:

- Travel and anything travel related, whether it's me hitting the road, or just sharing tips, ideas and info that I've discovered.

- My photography.

- Going green and the organic lifestyle, particularly as it applies to travel, but also what can be done in one's daily life to improve one's health and life through more natural products.


Are you paid to write about any products/companies on your site?

No. Any product I write about, it's because A) the product has really impressed me and I want to share it with everybody else; B) the product sucked really badly and I want to warn others about it; or C) it was just what I felt like writing about at that moment in time.

(A) and (C) are by far the most common reasons.


If I send you a product, will you write about it?

I may or may not accept the item in question; and if I do, I may or may not write about it on my site. This is my own personal blog, and I am not paid to write here; the site is self-funded through things like my CafePress/Zazzle products. (And coming soon, my photography on SmugMug!)

If I like a product and enthusiastically endorse it here, then I *really* liked the product; otherwise I will say why I didn't like it. You can give me what you like - I'll try anything once, twice if I like it - but my opinions cannot be bought.
