Happy birthday expatliv!

2 years ago today I published my very first blogpost. A handful of people read that one, mostly family and friends (who I think felt that they had no choice really)..

During those 2 years lots of things has happened and my baby has grown into a more confident and mature 2 year old. But still a 2 year old...You know how they can be like...:-)

Expatliv: 
  • has 264 blogposts
  • has 98 859 pageviews
  • has 3374 published comments
  • has most readers from India, USA, Norway, France, Germany and Russia
  • 's most read blogpost is Expat Epidorpio
  • 's most commented blogpost is D for Disneyland
As I have mentioned before, the wonderful side effect of blogging is the network of friends, fellow bloggers, writers and others I have connected with all around the world through my blog. Sharing excitement, laughter, tears and anger through comments and communication has been wonderful. I have loved writing and receiving guestposts



More and more expatliv has turned into a global fusion blog... where people, music, culture, food, idea, thoughts and philosophy travel across borders of countries. I think that has become the essence of me and my blog. Know your roots, but be open to new ways of doing things and new ways of thinking. There is always something new to learn from another person. And a new friend - can pop up from anywhere. That's what I believe anyway. 




So, dear reader, a warm Thank You for coming along so far. I hope you have enjoyed the ride, and do stay tuned for more. Let's see where that two year old will take us next...:-)

  9. Congratulations Eli and happy blog birthday. I agree, it's the "meeting" people on-line and the feedback that is the best part of blogging.

  10. Hello and congrats on two years
    Today marks two months and I've managed to gain 90 followers and 4000 page views on only 35 posts. I started it because I like to write but also to make some contacts. Diane and I are retiring early due to my unexpected layoff and moving to SE Asia in the spring. Your blog is well crafted and I will follow along; hope you'll give us a look at www.experimentalexpats.com
    Cheers
