Travels with Tavel 
Hi Tavel
I stumbled upon your blog while researching a trip to Ecuador, and I must admit that I felt a little kinship with you.
My blog(s) is only slightly older than your own, and we have a similar amount of hits.
I must admit that I am a little jealous, though, because you at least have a small community of people who comment. My lack of comments became so pathetic that I turned them off.
Anyhoo, I have read all your posts and I really like your blog, and I look forward to learning more about Ecuador through your posts.
I would be honored if you you would ever consider doing a guest post on my blog, and I would be equally honored if you would be willing to accept a submission from me.
Thank you for sharing your story.
deepest regards,
Greg Stock

i Jonathan –
Thanks for your interest in contributing. Would love to know more about what you might want to write about. Could you email me more info at travelswithtavel@gmail.com? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oops, the h disappeared… “Hi Jonathan!”
Hola he leido tu blog, me parece interesante. Soy ecuatoriana y vivo en Quito desde hace mucho, tengo interés en conocer sobre otros países pero no puedo viajar. Estoy en capacidad de recibir en mi casa a turistas (for free) sin costo. Mi interés es que mi hijo y yo podamos aprender otras culturas y practicar otros idiomas. Contáctame si esto te interesa. Además vengo de una pequeña ciudad al norte de Ecuador en donde hay muchas hermosas cosas que conocer y nadie las ha visto, no hay turismo hacia allí.
Hi! Where do you find your best travel deals? Looking to go away, unfortunately during peak season (new years), and I know it’s like finding a needle in a haystack, but just curious as to where you find your best travel deals.
Thanks so much!
Jen
