Best Cross-Culture Posts of 2016 World-Wide

Our mission at Blogging Abroad is to inspire and equip people living abroad to promote cross-cultural understanding through blogging and social media. This year, we've seen so many fantastic examples of cultural exchange online, we decided to round up the best of the best.

 

What makes a great cultural blog post?

  Here are some of the top things we considered when composing our list:

• Well-written, easy to read text
• A positive, respectful outlook and promotion of cross-cultural understanding
• A cohesive theme, rather than a running diary entry
• A unique perspective or creative post format
• Engaging, quality images
• Interesting titles and headings
• Responsible crediting of outside sources (including image credits)
• Appropriate post length - not too long or rambling

  We applaud each of our finalists for their excellent blog posts. And above all, we hope these examples will spark ideas and encourage more bloggers to join in the meaningful work of unofficial cultural ambassadorship!
