Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Location Independent Blog Carnival (with a twist!)…what’s the twist?
As always, we don’t just feature the best articles submitted to the carnival but we also feature some of the best new projects launched by members of our community in the “Project Promoter” section – giving you an opportunity to see what everyone else is up to.
Without further ado, here are the best of the best…
The Blog Carnival
Audrey from Uncornered Market presents: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Travelers
Nicolas from 52ndWest.com presents: 10 Useful Tools & Tips To Help You (Better) Work Remotely
Rob from Adventure Rob presents: How To Stay In An Australian City Cheaply
David from Adventures of a Barefoot Geek presents: Paddling Through Life
The Project Promoter
Who: Alan Gould
The Project: China Kidz
Alan & Lyn Gould are an English couple who have been going to China for short periods since 1994 and have now taken early retirement to serve Chinese orphans full time in China. They have lived in Luoyang, China since November 2006 and until January 2007 worked as unpaid volunteers for another charity caring for very sick, dying babies and children in two special units in state run orphanages.
The Butterfly Home is China’s 1st Children’s Hospice and Community Palliative Care Service and ChinaKidz will provide children’s palliative care services in China’s first specialist Children’s Hospice unit, in Changsha. Government Officials have invited ChinaKidz to co-operate with the Children’s Welfare Institute to implement a children’s palliative care service for abandoned children as well as for families, aiming to support them and avoid the pressure to abandon their sick baby/child. This is an exciting and groundbreaking project in China; even in many other parts of the world children’s hospice services are not available.

Who: Andy Hayes
The Project(s): Sharing Travel Experiences & Travel Online Partners
Sharing Travel Experiences is a relaunch of my travel consumer website. We have the same good stuff as before but with even more new features, including a free travel recommendation tool (in case you can’t decide where your itchy LIP feet should head next) and a travel concierge (for those road warriors who can’t be bothered to deal with the booking details).
Travel Online Partners (TOP) is a resource for small businesses looking for help with online technology. While the focus is on travel and tourism businesses, any small business who wants to use the Internet as a business tool will find the guides, services and information of use.
