The writing was compelling and the photos fantastic. Here was a fellow world traveler who decided to share her experiences, and I immediately read the whole website in one sitting. Kristin Luna had the dream job, traveling and documenting every step of the way. Camels and Chocolate was honored as the best travel blog in 2009 and 2010, which is well deserved.
I first commented when she posted a questionnaire about her readers. Great way to get to know who was reading her blog. I brought up the story of how my mother would see Kristin's site when I visited my parents' house, and how she could ask if I was 'visiting that camel cupcake site again.' I thought it was hilarious. So did Kristin when she read it, and we exchanged a few emails. I told her advice on how to enjoy Ibiza without the club scene, and we bonded over the FIFA World Cup.
In her latest post about her amazing wedding, there was a shout out for Camel Cupcakes. I felt honored and delighted that an offhand observation my mother had about a pink website stuck. So as such, I have a photo that I think Kristin would enjoy.

Here's to Camel Cupcakes, mighty delicious and maybe a little sandy.
