Lexiophiles publishes results of IX10 – top 100 blogs on living abroad
This year’s best worldwide blogs about the adventures of living abroad were chosen out of a total pool of 170 nominations made by Lexiophiles readers and bab.la users. The final top 100 ranking was based on user votes, attracting over 19.000 votes.
The top 3 blogs - E-Dublin, Canal Londres and The Basti Show – are excellent examples of the joys, difficulties and adventures of spending time studying or working in a foreign country.
E-Dublin, which came in first, offers a wide range of information on Dublin in Portuguese -from a guide on how to survive the first month in Dublin to regular podcasts, the latest being on when to do an internship in Dublin. In ‘The Basti Show’, no. 3 in the top 100 ranking, a young German student turned YouTube into his video blog, sharing his high-school exchange experience via videos.
The quality of the blogs and the amount of people voting has been continuously increasing since the competition first took place. “We are amazed by how our readers embraced this competition. We received thousands of votes, comments, Facebook posts, tweets and emails. It shows us that our readers enjoyed the competition as much as we did.” says Priscila Andrade, project manager for Lexiophiles. In order to show the wide variety of blogs a Google map including all top 100 blogs has been set up, highlighting where the bloggers are located.
