So if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you might have already read the news. IMAGE magazine has shortlisted my little blog for their first blog awards in the travel category. I’ve been feeling completely shocked and ecstatic all week-end. I don’t think I’ve felt like pumping fists in the air this much since I was 10 and got a silver medal in a race… Hard to imagine when today I nearly spit out a lung every time I run for the 83. Hopefully, my blog won’t have the same fate as my physical condition and go downhill from here. This actually pushes me to bring better and more regular content here.
Ha, it sounds like I’m doing a victory speech  but to be honest, and I’m aware this sounds disgustingly cliché, I feel like I won already, the nomination means a tremendous amount, it gives me so much motivation and a bit of the confidence I’m often lacking.

I’m facing so much talent and I encourage you to check out all the other Irish blogs, and especially the ones in the travel category: Pablo Funny, Canal Cook, The Traveloguer, Pól Ó Conghaile & Travel Pennies. Chances are you’re going to love them, if you landed on this space.

If you’d like to support my blog, you can vote for theartofexploring.com, under the travel category (you don’t need to vote for each category if you don’t want to). I’d be ever so grateful for your generosity. Funnily enough, the votes will be closed on my birthday *nudge nudge wink wink*
