Hostelling International’s belief that “life experience is a remedy for ignorance” is put to the test when 32 bloggers are offered an experience they can’t ignore.
The core idea behind Big Blog Exchange was to take 16 bloggers from “this" side of the world and have them swap places and blogs with 16 bloggers from “that” side of the world.
An American travel virgin writing about politics in Asia. A European musician hosting a food blog in Africa. You get the idea.
Anyone could sign up and after over two hundred thousand public votes, and a jury call, the final 32 bloggers was chosen.
…To ten days in a new country on a new blog.
On bigblogexchange.org you could follow the exchanges live as well as reading about thousands of other participants or even sign up yourself.
Big Blog Exchange returned for a sophomore year, giving everyone a second chance to participate.
