Links

This list is not very long but includes the sites that I actually read and visit often. It changes according to what inspires me, so check back for updates.

Uncornered Market:  A simply awesome, inspiring site by a pair of long-term world travelers.  Amazing photographs, too.

Wayward Traveler: Annie was living my dream– she lived in Florence, Italy, but now she has moved to Australia. Her “cultural lessons” learned from her Italian boyfriend make me laugh.

A Sense of Place: Erin shares her knowledge of art history and blogs about some of my favorite topics: architecture, food, travel, and design.

Brendan’s Adventures: Brendan’s site has really grown on me. This long-term traveler explored every inch of South America before journeying to Central America and the Caribbean. His photographs are outstanding!

Bacon is Magic: Ayngelina blogged her way through a year traveling alone in Latin America. Her site is personal, funny, moving, and often thought-provoking. You can’t help but love her (and her fantastic photos).
