Yay! It’s my Traveliversary week! On 25th March 2013, it was 1 year to the day when I first started my serious travelling. And more impressively, I managed to keep running this blog! So I look back on my blog since it’s birth (13th November 2011) and think what were the best bits, best popular, and see how people really found my blog with suspect search terms. Bring on the top 5 of RexyEdventures.com. It’s gonna be a hell of a ride.

 

Top 5 Most Popular Posts

These 5 posts totally surprised me. It’s certainly NOT what i was expecting…

1. Review of the Caledonian Sleeper Train – With the company bemoaning about lack of people using this service, I was very surprised after one year on that this has become the most viewed post on my blog. Perhaps publicity and awareness is the key here for the company? But I like to think I promoted good old-fashioned journeys here in Britain!

2. 12 Best Places to Go on New Year’s Eve – I was expecting this to spike around the twilight months of 2012 but nope. It actually was so popular that it continued to be so throughout the year?! people are taking new year’s eve a lot more seriously than I thought!

3. Photo Essay: London’s Calling – undertaking a walking tour of London, I really went into detail about my capital. So much so that it’s become my 3rd most popular post. And after 3 top posts, I haven’t really left to go on my RTW Travels yet. It goes to show that Britain is the best place to be!

4. 7 Benefits for Deaf People on Their Solo Travels – I’m extremely proud that this post got into the top 5. It goes to show that deafness is not negative and deaf people CAN Travel solo. I did!

5. Hue to Hanoi: The Bus Journey that almost broke me – hooray, finally a RTW Travel post! Although very, very surprising! However, I do admit that you have to laugh at my misfortune!

 

 Top 5 Favourites

Although there are the most popular, I personally have my favourites. Okay it’s like asking to choose 5 of your 420 children to be your favourites, but I think I got it pat down.
