“It really gave me things to think about with my blog and allowed me to come up with more topics I want to write about my service before I finish in a couple of months.” – Caitlin, Republic of Georgia
“This is a great initiative as both a way to help bloggers bolster their writing. I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s posts!” – Taylor, Botswana
“The Blogging Abroad project helps motivate me to write more often because I feel accountable to a greater cause than just my personal interest in blogging.” – Jett, Paraguay
