Welcome to the second edition of the carnival of lifestyle design. If you’re new to blog carnivals, here’s a brief explanation. Bloggers submit articles to a blog carnival in hopes their story will be featured. The editor combs over the submissions and decides which to publish in the carnival. As a reader, you get to find out about some new hand-picked articles in the carnival’s subject.
I’m very pleased that some bloggers I know and read decided to submit articles this time around. I know you’ll enjoy reading some of them. I hope even more great blogs will submit articles for the next carnival.
I also wanted to quickly mention a fantastic opportunity for all the writers out there. Chris Guillebeau is running a writing contest at his blog The Art of Nonconformity. If you read my interview with Chris, you know what a great writer he is, and what an impact he’s had in the blogging world. This is your chance to reach a big audience (he averages over 1 million page views per month). Good luck!
Also, on the subject of writing, if you think you’ve got a good article in you about lifestyle design, entrepreneurship, digital nomads, work-life balance, location independence or travel and living abroad, why not write one for this blog?

Excellent Carnival results! I couldn’t be prouder to have my work on a list with so many great articles. Kudos to everyone!
Thanks again for submitting, Colin. Your article was definitely a favorite. I hope you’ll send something in next time too.
Great job in hosting the carnival Corbett! Unfortunately I missed the submission deadline for this round’s carnival. I do hope to be able to participate in the next carnival though. It seems that the 2nd carnival has more submissions this round compared to the 1st, which is great sign! I’m off to check out some of the links now.
I definitely got more submissions this time, but the really good articles are few and far between. Please submit for next time!
