Thank you thank you, Dominique — both for your kind words and for your time in taking the survey! I appreciate it!

I SO appreciate you taking the time to fill it out Zascha! <3

Thank you Amy — I appreciate your time! Now that I’m back in Thailand I do plan to pepper in a few behind-the-scenes blogging posts.

Thank you so much Jo-Anne! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you so much Steph! I really appreciate you taking the time!

Aw, thank you so much Ijana! Yes, these last few weeks while I was working for my developers to finish my custom comment notification plugin were so tough — I was dying to jump in and reply! I don’t know how other bloggers aren’t just itching to 🙂

Ha ha! Noted 😉 Well, Ian and I have a unique story that I’m sure I’ll share someday, but the short version is that we have a happy and incredibly communicative relationship and are always grateful to be on the same page, even if we aren’t in the same place. And the Brazil meltdown was a professional one that I can’t share any more about without potentially damaging my business relationships, so I’ve said all I can about that… for now! I’ll try to keep rolling out the juicy personal posts whenever possible 😛

Thank you Velysia! I do think of you all as my friends, so that seems like an accurate portrayal 😉

Yeah, I was bummed about that too. I kind of thought that the percentage would be higher around here, since my sustainability posts do seem to do so well. Ah well, I’ll just keep writing them and crossing my fingers for the best — I know so many of my readers report having switched to solid shampoo and using water filters, those little changes make SUCH a big difference!

Thank you so much Ramona! What an amazing compliment to receive. I too was once a teenage girl dreaming of seeing the world, so I’m thrilled to imagine I might help one figure out how to do that for herself.
