Hello geeky travel fans! I just wanted to say hello before I start posting appropriate topics here. I’m Sherry, and hopefully I will be able to help you find interesting travel gadgets, geeky products/services to make travel easier, and ways to keep in touch with your inner nerd while you’re out and about.
I studied Travel and Tourism once upon a lifetime and I have a deep love of gadgets (in other words, ThinkGeek is one of my favorite shopping sites). Perhaps a little ironically, I don’t travel as much as I would like to due …read more

The response to our request for bloggers to write for Geeky Traveller was overwhelming.  So overwhelming, in fact, that I still have burrowed out from beneath the pile applicants.
The application process is now closed.
I hope to have a new blogger announced here in the next few days.
A very big thank you to everyone for your interest in writing for b5media!
