Blogging from A to Z April (2018) Challenge is just around the corner.
As you know, Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is an annual mega blogging event where bloggers from all over the world write posts from A to Z, every day in April except Sundays!
This challenge is a great way to connect with bloggers over a shared passion and that’s writing.
I will be participating in this challenge for the 6th consecutive time.
I did not have a theme for my first A to Z Challenge in 2013. But thereafter, I opted for a theme. My themes for the last 5 years have been:
- 2014 – Marriage from A to Z in 55 Words
- 2015 – Feelings and Emotions from A to Z in 55 Words
- 2016 – Cultivating Happiness from A to Z in 55 Words
- 2017 – Crime Stories from A to Z in 55 Words
This year my theme for Blogging from A to Z April 2018 Challenge is…
Ahem! First things first… May we have the drum rolls please….
My Theme for the A to Z Challenge 2018 is : Notes from the Roads
Why this theme?
Over the last two decades, I have traveled a lot. A large part of it is due to work in marketing and now training. Traveling has transformed me and has put things into perspective for me. It has humbled me and made me realize that I am much more capable than I believed. So what if the network or wi-fi isn’t working or the food is not to my liking. Traveling has made me see how other people live and what they have to deal with on a daily basis.
In Notes from the Road, I share my thoughts, views, experiences, tips, stories which are inspired by my years on the road. So it would be all about travel from A to Z.
If you love travel as much as I do, I am sure this series will make your travel bug itch.
And if you aren’t a travel buff, I am sure that this will inspire you to pack your bags and start exploring the world around you.
So join me this April and let’s go, fly, roam, travel, voyage, explore, journey, discover some exciting adventures together!!
Blogchatter is now championing this challenge on their own in April. Registrations for Blogchatter A To Z, are *STILL* open.
And you must sign-up on the A to Z Official Blog too.

This sounds really exciting, Shilpa.. I am a travel freak.. but not been able to travel since last two years owing to a toddler(which is no limitation though) and now again expecting so traveling looks far… So, though M scared Would miss traveling after reading your posts for the challenge, I think I can’t resist them too… 🙂

I love it! 😀
Thanks a lot for your wishes, Alka. Need a whole bunch of them 😀

Hi Silpa, your theme is really interesting. Am looking forward how you will depict the notes from your travel. Actually, my theme is also on “travel”, but not a conventional travel. You can check it at my site, http://sayantideb.com/atozchallenge-theme/
Great that we are both sharing this awesome travel theme. I am looking forward to some amazing offbeat destinations in India with you. Cheers 🙂
I loved this theme as I love travelling.
Looking forward. All the best

Thanks Purba and good luck to you too. Looking forward to read some soulful and profound notes from you for this challenge. Cheers!
Love your theme, Shilpa. I haven’t traveled nearly as much as I would have liked to, thanks to my little one. But now that he is 6, and generally a happy traveler, we are going to get serious about this vacation business. 😛 So your theme sounds perfect to me. 🙂
That’s awesome, Shantala. Have a great time exploring and relaxing with your boys. Thanks for your support!
That’s really a well thought out travel theme. It would be a nostalgic experience writing from one’s own life. All the best. I will visit for more.
Thanks Medha. Hope you enjoy reading my travel posts and notes. Thanks and all the best to you too 🙂
What a fantastic them! Really travelling is such a great experience, that makes us grow so much and mature. I’m jealous of people who can travel for work.
Can’t wait to read your challenge!
