Nomad Blog Post #2

Wondering Earl

The blog I chose to write on is called http://www.wanderingearl.com/. It is a blog about a man who took a year off after High school to go traveling for three months and then it ended up being a constant traveling adventure. He has traveled to 83 countries and been on the road for 4,660 days. I enjoy this because, I too have been traveling around the world and I can relate to a lot of his posts. 

The particular blog post I decided to comment on is, Earl's possessions and everything he owns. The people that are commenting on this post are people who, in my opinion have been traveling before and have a passion for it. Most of the people who are commenting on this post all use "normal" first names and they all have pictures of themselves, and they do not use avatars. This particular person who goes by "Steve C." makes me comfortable, because he has commented on many other posts, he states his age, that he is a fellow traveller, and that he too has a lot of "stuff". I enjoy how he has a couple of videos on youtube, and he points that out in his post, which makes you connect on a deeper level then someone who is just posting under an anonymous name.  

There seem to be a common respect for Earl and his traveling ways, and people enjoy commenting on his posts. Like this particular person "Andi of my beautiful adventures" uses smiley faces and simple language. The posts are also very recent... he posted this blog post on October 22nd and he already has 29 comments. Other commenters have been posting on other people's comments which shows that there is a common respect for this blog and the people who are commenting on it. I have seen no negative comments directed at Earl and his blog which shows to me that is highly respected.
