Below is a list of travel blogs that I enjoy (WIP):
Travel Blogs
Almost Fearless - Christine, along with husband Drew and baby Cole, shows that it is possible to create a life that works for you, even if it is unconventional and sometimes a little scary.
Bacon is Magic - Ayngelina's blog is the travel resource for South American solo female travel. She also has a weird obsession with bacon.
Everything, Everywhere - Travelling since March 2007, Gary's daily photo update brightens my day with beautiful pictures of faraway places.
Fevered Mutterings - Mike catalogues his misadventures in what he calls "the art of unfortunate travel". Witty and sometimes a little random, but always incredibly entertaining.
Freedonia Post - Joel shares stories, photos and random thoughts from his round-the-world trip that started in July 2010. By his own admission, he's an 'introverted attention whore, which makes for some interesting situations along the way'.
Gill Adventures - Eva and John Gill, along with their daughters, have taken a gap-year to explore the world. Not fans of contrived destinations, they like finding unique experiences and believe that travel is about exploration. Their site contains some beautiful pictures!
Girl, Unstoppable - Ekua shares her stories and thoughts, gives travel advice and tips, and inspires others (especially females) to be audacious adventurers.
Go, See, Write - Former attorney Michael Hodson has circumnavigated the globe without ever getting on an airplane. Currently writing about Middle Eastern countries we'd all love to visit, his blog is also home to the Lucky 13 interviews with other travel bloggers.
