Discovering the blogosphere has been an interesting journey. As I said before, I’ve met lots of great people who have helped me tremendously. Bloggers like recognition. We like to know that somewhere, someone is reading our stuff. We want to know that our hard work, our labor, is entertaining at least one other person- that it’s not in vain.
So today, on this Friday, I’d thought I’d highlight some of my favorite travel blogs and give them the recognition they deserve. I already spotlight a few in my links section, but here are a few more.
These are great blogs for travel advice and heart warming stories. Leave comments, stumble them, or subscribe to their feeds. (This is also how you can support me! I’d love to see more people reading on the bench!)
Here’s 10 of the many I read on a regular basis:
Almost Fearless- Christine is a fellow Bostonian who is giving up corporate consulting and moving to Barcelona to pursue her dream of writing.
Parisian Spring- An American graduate student exploring all that is French.
Mom says I’m running away- Explorers on a journey through South America, with amazing photos.
Killing Batteries- The blog of Lonely Planet author, Leif Pettersen.
My Marrakesh- A family in Morocco deals with cultural differences and running their own guest house.
Not A Ballerina- Fellow Vagabondish writer and Perth resident, Amanda Kendle shares her travel experiences.
Asian Ramblings- Fellow writer Steve P. shares his stories from China.
Travel Philippines- All the information you’ll ever need on the Philippines.
Globe Stompers- A couple gave up the rat race to tour the world for a year. They are currently in New Zealand.
The Wide Wide World- In July, this family is going to travel the whole world together. I can only imagine how great of an experience this would be, especially for their children.
I’ll periodically highlight a number of travel blogs I like. This is just the first wave. Read and enjoy. Leave a comment. Subscribe. Show you are there. Show me you are here by doing the same.
Because, like them, I hope that somewhere out there, there’s someone…just someone…is reading this.
Hi Matt,
