Travel Blogs Offer Up A Window To The World
May 1, 2008 – 5:43 amWe never travel. Maybe once a year the family and I will pile up in the SUV and take the 10 hour trek down south to the sunny shores of Orange Beach, Al., but we’ve been doing that since I was a kid so in my mind that doesn’t really count. When I think of traveling I think of European vacations and sailing around the Bahamas. I dream of black sand beaches and the Great Wall of China, not an hour drive to a mall and a cup of Starbucks. Thankfully those that do navigate the globe on a regular basis are blogging about their adventures everyday.
I know it’s not the same, but it’s as close as most will get as they make their way from home-to the 8-5-and back home again. Very few of us get to live out our dreams and reading travel blogs is often all we need to keep those dreams alive. This year’s batch of Best Travel nominees come from all corners of the world and feature some amazing people tossing it all away for the freedom of the open road. Just look at some of these amazing sites:
How cool are these blogs! The sounds, smells, and scenery come alive with every click of the mouse. From Rome to Afghanistan to the jungles of South America, bloggers are sharing their lives one post at a time. So the next time you get tired of the same ole same ole day to day, jump on over to a Travel blog and let your mind run wild with possibilities.

Wild About Writing is colourful, informative, intelligent and obviously written by a very seasoned traveller who has a funky spin on language

Kim has a way of letting everyone feel as though they have been along for the experience. Excellent journalism combining the true facts and heart felt responses she encounters everyday. I can’t wait to read more!

Wildaboutwriting.com is pretty amazing. Along with the classic dose of dry humor, the really foward thinking nature of the blogger is the anti Glenn Close “Out of Africa” writing. So much of traveling is not about the people…tisk tisk…Great job Wildaboutwriting!

I have to agree with everyone else’s comments on Wildaboutwriting, Kim is a natural. I really enjoy reading about all her travel experiences. Keep up the great work.
