Janice Horton

Social media is about building relationships

I’m Janice Horton – otherwise known as The Backpacking Housewife. I adore social media. I love reading and writing. I enjoy talking. I’ve always got a story to share. I’m active on The Web, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and now Instagram and Pinterest.

My social circles and my combined social media reach is entirely organic having been earned over time. My followers are interested in my posts and I’m interested in theirs.

“It’s important to remember that social media is never about numbers. Social media is about building relationships.“

As a travel blogger, I travel extensively and nomadically all over the world and I still enthusiastically maintain my online presence. I’m also a writer of romantic adventure novels published by HarperCollins.

I’ve been an active member of The Romantic Novelist’s Association ever since my first book was traditionally published in 2004. Since then I’ve written and published a total of 15 books. You can read more about my books on my Books Page.

Did you know that I welcome press and blogger inquiries and I’m happy (delighted, actually) to be interviewed online, offline, in print, in person, on the radio, on TV, to chat about my travels or my books
