travel blogs

Tag details

A great way to travel vicariously through the eyes of another is to read travel blogs.    Travel blogs are blogs written exclusively about travel.  Reading a travel blog is much like reading the personal diary of a person experiencing a new location for the first time, or revisiting an old favorite and experiencing the memories and familiarities of the place. 

You can visit a place through the eyes of a photojournalist and see unsurpassed beauty and insight to another culture.  Or through the eyes of a parent planning a stress-free family vacation.  Or through the eyes of a woman traveling solo and the challenges and opportunities that presents.

Many great professional travel writers and guidebook authors keep travel blogs as a way to stay connected to their readers and to offer up-to-the-minute travel advice. 

You can read travel blogs to escape to a faraway place, or to get travel tips on actually going there yourself.  Most travel blogs focus on a specific type of travel such as ecotourism or adventure travel.  Find one that matches your travel style and get lost in another world.

  • Young Wines and Ancient Fields


    — Authority Authority:
    A trip to Umbria is incomplete without at least a few hours spent wandering the region’s maze of wonderful country roads. While the Romans may be well remembered for giving us the sterile albeit easy to navigate Roman grid, incredible aqueducts and grand highways it is no doubt that it was Italy’s winding ...

  • An Opportunity to Play With Polar Bears in Canada


    — Authority Authority:
    I’m a massive polar bear fan.  It’s hard to give just one reason why.  Perhaps it is their massive size or the exotic nature of their native regions.  It may be their pension for making ridiculous looking faces. Or perhaps it’s because they serve as a powerful reminder of the cost and danger of climate ...
