Freebies When You Travel Blog

by Melissa Atienza-Petri on August 8th, 2007

As previously mentioned, one of the best things in budget traveling is when you get freebies.  It’s great when you get something and absolutely nothing is expected back from you.

Interestingly, some parties think that using the word FREE would make me (and other people who blog/write about travel) immediately grab whatever it is that they are offering.  The thing is, when something in return (like a good review even if what you are offering is crappy!) is expected then it isn’t free anymore, is it?!

Now if you allow me (us) to talk about the bad things as well then, that is a different story.

It’s interesting what kind of offers we (travel bloggers) are getting.  I can’t imagine what famous broadsheet travel writers are being offered.
