Today, I head off to New York City for the weekend. I haven’t been there since I left on my adventure in 2006. It will be good to get back and see friends. I’ll have plenty of pictures when I return and tomorrow’s Saturday city series will continue with a profile on New York City. For now, it is time to highlight some more travel blogs I like reading.

Lives of Wander- Follow this American couple as they get ready to leave for a round the world trip.

Nerdy Nomad- The blog of a perpetual nomad who roams the world building websites and living off the income. Cool huh?

Go Backpacking- This (very popular) travel blog follows the adventures of a currently traveling the world. He is in India right now. His posts and photos are quite amazing.

   Matt: Thanks for the mention on your blog. We will have to agree to disagree about enablint comments on my blog. I want to obtain a more personal relationship with my readers and their travel needs than a “comments” section allows. My readers are encouraged to always ask questions.

   Everybody has got their own style. Congrats on a nice blog.
