Yes, by going public I mean attaching your name to your blog. Having to watch what I say is EXACTLY why I haven’t gone public. Not in terms of career, because it’s not a career for me, but in terms of family and anybody that would want to hire me down the road or research my business, so I guess that does have to do with career down the road. I do have another outlet for those things I want to post, though, so perhaps that could turn into my outlet for good. Personal posts on PSD is one aspect I’ve been wont to interject sometimes, and realize I’d have to let that go if I did attach my name to my blog. Thanks for your thoughts, girl!

Haha, you were, you were. You mean going “public” in terms of attaching your name to your blog? It all depends on your career. It’s been helpful for me in the fact that several travel editors now read my blog, and I’ve gotten assignments from magazines who reached out this way. However, that comes with a price. I really have to watch what I say now, always. There are SO many things I want to blog about that I can’t because I constantly have to worry about who’s reading and who could Google and find that post and what they might think and if they would hire me for an assignment or not. So I guess there’s good and there’s bad that come with it.

Hey, I was one of those five ! Hey, do you feel like going “public” helped your readership? I’ve considered it several times and am semi-public now (if anybody I knew came across my blog, they’d instantly know it was me), but recently I’ve come across some new information about how to handle the stress of being public that makes me want to really go public. Sorry if that sounds technical. Any thoughts on handling the stress of being public?

How breath taking are your pictures?! Must have been fabulous to be one of the only guests on the island. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again… I WANT YOUR JOB!

We thought about this for our honeymoon too. Perfect reading material for a dark January morning – thanks for reposting!

The Maldives and Seychelles look beautiful and I, too, am looking for a honeymoon spot. I wonder if either islands have had any problems being so close to Somalia though…
