Around the World in 30 days - September Challenge

August 29th, 2013
I've had fun trying some different weekly and monthly challenges, but I'm back in the mood for a daily challenge around words on a common theme. I thought it would be fun to travel the World for a month through photos, so here's the plan...

Each day choose a country and take a photo of something that it means to you or makes you think of that place. It could be a flag, food, emblem, souvenir, even your holiday pics from a previous trip... whatever you like. And here's the fun part - don't tell us which country! To keep things interesting for our followers, we'll make it a guessing game too!

Here's the list of countries on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countries_of_the_world

Tag your pics 'around-the-world' if you want to join in. Play for a day, a week or the whole month, whatever you like!

Thanks Alia.

30 days of this would be hard for me (since so many of my 'worldly' things are still packed away. But I will definitely do it for a week.

@attraversi @annied @nicolecampbell @kwiksilver @handerle @jld29 @carys @traceyhn @nadaa @olivetreeann @mzzhope Yay! Welcome to the challenge!

@summerfield Thanks! Hopefully you still think that at the end of the month!
@tabbycat You will be welcome at any time :)

@tstb Ooh I can't wait to see your Wales photos - it's one of my favourite places on Earth :)

@olivetreeann I don't have much 'worldy' stuff either - I just plan on making flags out of whatever I can find, using some puns and national foodstuffs, and whatever else comes to mind... :)

Fun! I was thinking of taking a 'September sabbatical' this month, but this might be a fun alternative: a chance to look back at favorite pics.

I've had a lack of inspiration lately and I think this could help me, so maybe I'll try this soon... As a tourism industry student I think this is an amazing way to learn something new every day. Can't wait to see your photos! :)
