The Big Blog Exchange
Hostelling International’s belief that experience is the remedy for ignorance is put to the test when 32 inexperienced bloggers are offered an experience they can’t ignore.
32 people globally, changing blogs & lives with each other. IRL.
To promote understanding we built Bigblogexchange.org. A site that enabled us 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, we had decided on the final 32 bloggers who was going to get the chance to swap blogs.
And off they went…
…To ten days in a new country on a new blog.
Tune in.
On bigblogexchange.org you could follow the exchanges live as well as reading about thousands of other participants or even sign up yourself.
One extra life.
Big blog exchange returned for a sophomore year, giving everyone a second chance at being one of the lucky few who got to exchange life and blogs.
