I’m essentially a newbie to this whole WordPress blogging rigmarole, and I figured this would be a good way to branch out of my little corner of the Internet. Like a foal toddling on its legs and learning how to walk, I stumbled upon Gurezu‘s International Blogger Friends Directory and thought… why the hell not!
The International Blogger Friends Directory works like this: you aim to have (at least) one blogger friend from each country around the world, and the purpose is to do blog collaborations and even postcard exchanges if possible.
It’s a mighty challenge in and of itself, to be sure, given how there’s over a hundred countries in the world at least – I’m not doing a Google search to check! Also, as I’m blogging from China, my understanding of its postal system is theoretical at best… the likelihood of me wandering into a post office with my limited Chinese (你好 and 谢谢, if anyone is wondering), is on the low side of probability.
Nevertheless, I would love to curate an International Blogger Friends Directory and so… here I am! I invite you, my dear readers, to join me in this incredible quest.
LiberaTarts: International Blogger Friends Directory (IBFD)
I’ll add more rows as people decide to join, otherwise here is my directory so far:
# | Country | Friend’s Name | Blog Link | Social Media |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Philippines | Mary Grace | gurezu | IG: @gurezu |
2 | Philippines | Precious Jasmin | jasminprecious | IG: @preciousxxwalker |
3 | Cayman Islands | Choi | anywherewithchoi | ? |
Here are some ideas to help demonstrate what the IBFD entails:
- follow each other’s blogs
- follow each other’s social media
- blog collaborations
- book / tv show / movie reviews → recommend something to me and I’ll recommend something back, and we’ll both type up a review post about That Thing
- be a guest blogger for any chosen topic → guest blogging is a fun way to advertise your blog on a different platform, and it also sounds fun!
- be penpals
- send each other postcards or letters, depending on what you’re comfortable with

I haven’t done mine! Thanks for reminding me to have an official call!

I’m so honored to be the first in your list. I have added you in my list under China. I have given it much thought whether I’ll list you under UK/PH/China but I decided to list you where you are currently at. So there you are under China hehe!

That’s completely fine, I did give you the choice over where to list me. Good luck on your call post!

Hey! I also saw Gurezu’s post about this and I’m so interested with the idea of it all! Also want to be part of your list. I already added you to my blogroll. I plan to do the same concept in my blog in the future. Your blog is a nice read! Btw, I’m based in the Cayman Islands! Looking forward to more of your content ❤

Hello A. Choi, thanks for your interest – I’ve never met or even talked to anyone who was from the Cayman Islands so it means a lot that you’ve already added me to your blogroll! If you want to collaborate on something with me, then maybe we can talk further to discuss? Happy blogging! _D
