Learn a Foreign Language

Are you planning to travel around Europe? Why not learn Italian or French before you go to maximize your experience.

Book Your Travel Here!!

Another week, another country. I’m now in the French countryside drinking wine, eating cheese, and trying to keep the snails down (weird texture). Since it is Friday, it’s time for another blog carnival. Here are some of my favorite travel sites.

Rambling Traveler- A great site that posts photos from everywhere.

Ron’s Photo Blog- I met Ron via StumbleUpon. He runs another great photo blog site with stunning pictures from all around the world.

Less Than a Shoestring- This excellent travel blog follows the adventures of one man trying to travel as cheap as he can. He manages Europe on pennies a day. He’s a great resource and always providing good tips on frugal travel.

Malena’s Candy Adventure- Malena is traveling the world in search of the best candy it has to offer. She’s currently in Central America.

Itinerant Londoner- Geoff’s blog has some good insight into English lifestyle. It’s always an enjoyable humorous read.

No Place Like Here- Cris and Felipe’s blog follows their life in NZ, their upcoming wedding, and subsequent travels. It’s written in English and Portuguese. Great blog with a nice clean design.

   Hi Matt! Thank you for the link, and for introducing me to some new sites!

3. Theresa on August 22nd, 2008 3:42 pm

   Just what I don’t need! More blogs to read and eat up all the time I should be spending on things that must be done before I leave!

   But really, thanks for the heads-up. Some of these are new to me and I’m looking forward to checking them out. I’ll use them as rewards to get myself through my work—edit three entries…visit a new blog. Rinse and repeat.

   French countryside? Gotta be more specific than that Matt…

   Thanks for the nod.

   I’d say have fun but you seem to be doing ok on your own.

   R(etc… )

   hey your choice was justified. Found Ron’s blog really worth viewing and absolutely innovative.

   a request: At your leisure, why dont you have a pit stop at goa to join me for a drink at a goa beach resort.

7. Cris on August 22nd, 2008 8:31 pm
