In the first post of this series SEO for Travel Bloggers – Crafting Keyword Specific Posts I talked about On Page SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I’d recommend that you start there as it is the foundation for this post where we are going to be expanding out to touch on Off Page SEO and the […]
SEO for Travel Bloggers – Crafting Keyword Specific Posts
I am diverging a little from the general theme of things here at freewheelings with a series of posts on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) fundamentals for travel bloggers. If you’re here solely to read about my adventures and want to skip over the tech talk I won’t take it personally. I have a very […]
Flying Sloths – The Mythical Creatures of Kernerbal Island
Kernerbal Island has finally been located and the home of the infamous flying sloth uncovered. Nesting high in the treetops of this uninhabited South Pacific Island dwells a creature of mythical origin. For many years its precise location remained protected by a secret brotherhood known as the “Knights of the Turner Brethren.” For if the […]

I neglected to announce that some months ago freewheelings.com was accepted into Lonely Planet’s blogsherpa beta program.

Tidepool Colisium
Here’s yet another little gem from Cordova, Alaska. Out at the end of the road at Hartney Bay you can walk along the shoreline of the Prince William Sound at low tide.

If the experiment gets satisfactory marks it will lead the way for a large scale biogas digester infrastructure in the UK over the next few years. The UK is politically […]
Ships of Old Alaska
I’ve been digging around the Internet and the library for a few days now pursuing my own interest in the great ships of Alaska’s history. The information is startlingly scattered so I have set about creating an account of the boats that have been a part of Alaska’s discovery, boom, gold rush, fishing industry, tourist […]
Little Birds of the Copper River Delta
I’ve never fancied myself much of a bird watcher, but you can hardly help it here. Cordova, Alaska and the Copper River Delta are known for their bird watching amongst so many other things. After a while you just want to know them. I’ve decided to keep a chronicle of my encounters with the little […]
Hitchhiking Around the World – An Interview with Jeremy Marie
I posted briefly last month about My Favorite Hitchhiker. I picked Jeremy, the good Frenchman, up outside of Wasilla, Alaska last fall standing on the side of the road with a backpack and a sign that simply read “World Tour.” It’s a little more than six months later and Jeremy and I have been corresponding […]
