G'day Fulton,

The BootsnAll blog has finally moved over to join the rest of BootsnAll.com! As usual, you'll find out what's going on around BootsnAll: about the company, within our community of travelers, and news about our travel writing opportunities.

BootsnAll Blog

Most recently, BootsnAll is excited to be the Platinum sponsor of Passports with Purpose this year. Passports with Purpose aims to raise enough money to build approximately 25 homes to create the Passports Village in Karunganni, located in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.

Happy Travels!
