I always say that the best way to learn is to do it while vacationing with friends…preferably with a pina colada in hand, lounging on a hammock and lazily gazing at the crashing ocean waves.
If only college was like this.
Well, if you’re a food blogger, come join our 3rd annual Food Blogger Camp! This year, instead of the Bahamas, Ixtapa Mexico, this year we’re headed to Riviera Maya in Mexico at the Grand Velas resort.

Good article and right to the point. I don’t know if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you guys have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thx 🙂
Where can I go to learn dates and prices ASAP – thanks, Liz
Hmmmmm. Was hanging with Gaby yesterday & we were chatting about this camp. Not sure if I can sweet talk the hubs into letting me go. Any ideas?? xo
I would have loved to be there too. Sounds like you had a great time.
How I wished I could go 🙁
Nonetheless, have fun guys!
Sounds fabulous and exactly what I need. Not sure I’d be able to pull it off but maybe there will be some more conferences in the states soon? I am glad there are talented people who organize things like this- thanks!
I just got back from Grand Velas and you are in for quite a treat. Along with what is sure to be an incredible blogger camp, the resort is first-class and they don’t miss a beat. So tempted to hop back on the plane.
Oh we MUST celebrate!!!
Wow, what a talent packed line up and fabulous venue. Very tempting.
Wow, this sounds like the ideal mix of learning and fun. I would love to be able to swing this.
Ha! Just realized the first full day of the workshop takes place on my 40th birthday. Some cocktails would definitely be involved.
OMG – I’m writing up my application right now – so so exciting! and it’s WORK!!! love it xxx
That’s it…time to start a food blog so I don’t miss out on anymore of the fun you have! 🙂 Have fun, Jaden!
Oooh blast!! I SO wanted to go this year, but that’s the weekend I’m getting married so I’ll be otherwise occupied. I’ll have to hold until 2011.
woohoo congratulations! have fun at your wedding!
Darn it! I knew I should start posting my scribbles sooner…ach, well, I’ll have to continue living vicariously a little while longer, then. ;p
oooooh man!! It’s here! wooohooooo so excited 🙂 already sent in my application! xo
