Hey readers!
This is a really exciting day for me, because not only is this the 100th post on my blog, but by coincidence, it’s also the day that I’ve achieved several readership milestones. Today, Monday Bazaar welcomed its 3,000th visitor and its 8,000th page view. In the past week alone, I’ve broken my one-day page view record, my one-week page view record two weeks in a row, my one month page view record, and my readership so far in the first half of 2016 is already greater than my readership for the entirety of 2015.
In case you missed them, I had a bunch of great content go up recently that you should be sure not to miss, some highlights of which included:
- An essay about why I joined the Peace Corps (my most popular post ever)
- A travel guide to visiting Osh, my amazing Peace Corps site
- An exhaustive list of all the different hats and head coverings you might encounter in Kyrgyzstan
- A discussion of summertime jailoo culture and how yurts are made
- Summaries of trips to Arslanbob and Chong-Alay
- A summary of my meeting with Peace Corps Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet
- A monthly update about health lessons and my sixth marathon
- My monthly photo roundup
To you my readers, who are in over 80 different countries, thank you for reading, exploring, and following along. I couldn’t have achieved this without you and your support. Keep reading, like Monday Bazaar on Facebook, and follow Monday Bazaar on Instagram and now Pinterest too!
Stay in touch,
