About Travel Spells
Welcome to Travel Spells, the perfect place to find the spark you need for an amazing trip.
In other words, the blog bringing you the best travel advice, tips, reviews and quite unique stories. All spiced up with travel photos from around the world.
Who am I?
My name is Alina Popescu and I am a travel addict. I love it so much, I am going to get a degree in Tourism Economics in about a year. I plan at least 3 trips abroad each year and I try to see as much as I can within my own beautiful country, Romania, in the weekends.
Why did I start Travel Spells?
While planning my trips, I always try to find the best resources concerning every step of the way: how to get there, where to stay, what to eat, what to drink, what to see and what to do. I also tend to tell the story of my own amazing experiences and to write my own reviews. Sharing all the tips and trips I picked up comes as a natural move.
In short, what to expect?
* Travel Tips and Tricks

* Restaurant Reviews
* Sightseeing advice
* Cultural Background
* Travel Destinations
* Transportation Advice
* Green Tourism

Dear Alina Popescu,
My name is Sam I am the active member of an article Internet portal. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for the great job you are doing as a travel writer. You articles are very inspiring. Therefore, I would like to invite you to share your articles with our visitors. Registration is free and members can suggest articles, vote and comment on them. The articles suggested do not necessarily have to be written by members. Real authors are notified about the nomination through e-mail and are invited to join the discussions.
All you need to do for your article to be there is just give the link to the actual location of it and make a short description. In this way the visitors are directly redirected to the original location of the article, but the advantage of having them placed here is that, by expanding your readership, you can receive feedback from other authors or travelers.
I know this sounds a bit bizarre when explained but please visit:
http://www.traveltipcenter.com
and you’ll see it’s in fact very simple.
I could have suggested your articles myself, but I thought it would be so much better for you to do it yourself and then personally receive feedback from the visitors.
Hope to see you there soon!
Sincerely yours,
Alex Pafik.

Hi Alex, thanks for letting us know. It took me a while before deciding to approve the comment or not, but I think more travel writers should know about this site. I’ll give it a full review soon.
