The Bloggies are the web’s longest running blog awards. This year’s winners, selected by popular vote, were announced recently. One of the new categories was “Best Travel Weblog”. If you want to check out the goings-on of the travel world, look no further some of these sites:
Winner: Camels and Chocolate: These self-described “tales from a travel addict” are the entertaining ramblings of San Francisco-based writer, editor, and photographer Kristin Luna. Check out her great photos too.
Traveling Mamas: Those making trips with wee ones will want to check these travelling mamas, who share their tips and titbits on making family vacations the best ones of all (but they also cover grown-up trips too – everyone needs a break sometimes!) It’s heavily geared to the North American market, but lots of their advice is applicable worldwide.
Gridskipper: Witty and comprehensive (for the destinations it covers), Gridskipper, “the worldwide travel blog”, has great writers and great insider information.
Without Baggage: Check out this magazine-style blog, with essays on various trips taken by LA-based Hank Leukart, a freelance journalist. Good for backpackers and others who like to travel without baggage (or with limited baggage), all presented in a layout refreshingly like one of those old-fashioned paper publications we used to read before the web came along.
Travellious: Travellious, a “rebellious” travel site, advises its readers to ditch the guidebook and follow their instincts more. Written by three people, mostly based in the US, the site is also a good source for other travel-related links.
