AvidTripsBlog
A new website that is inviting adventure travellers to get in touch with their stories about the places AvidTrips travels. Bylines, for the most part, are placed at the top of the page and have to compete with AvidTrips’ own links but this is compensated for with real, rare, hard currency.
