Road Less Travelled Blog - Travel Tales, Reviews and Photos from places around the world off the beaten track
Articles on the Rambling Thoughts Blog and Road Less Travelled Blog are researched, written and published by Neerav Bhatt along with irregular contributions from guest writers.
The aim is to take the Road Less Travelled and often write about niche topics others ignore. I live in Australia so articles will tend to have an Australian emphasis however half the people who read my blogs are from overseas so there’s obviously plenty of interesting stuff for non-Aussies to read.

Respected Reviews: My reviews are respected by the Australian technology/gadget community and often get linked to by Overclockers Australia, Whirlpool forum and Digital TV Australia forum

Business & Blogging History
After doing outsourced web development/SEO/web standards work for several years I decided to put my skills and broad general knowledge to good use by writing blog articles at the Rambling Thoughts Blog and making money from my blogs through Google Adsense and other internet advertising/sponsorship income streams.
Over time this income grew to the point where it earnt me enough to largely quit doing contract work and become a day job by itself. If you’re interested in the topic read my article How I Earn Lots Of Money By Blogging.
In 2007 I launched a 2nd blog called the Road Less Travelled which concentrates on Travel Tales, Reviews and Photos from places around the world off the beaten track.
Besides blogging I also provide consulting services in the areas of Internet Marketing, SEO, Website Accessibility/Usability and more
