Here’s where I’ll through various travel-related websites that have been helpful to me either in the inspiration or planning department.

Travelogues:

Hedgehogs Without Border: I love this website! The writing and pictures are top-notch. Their trip is over now, but reading through the old entries is still lots of fun.

Me Go: Another favorite of mine, this website describes two trips taken in 2004 and then 2006-2007 around China, Central and Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and Africa by a female traveling solo. Very inspirational with nice pictures, and lots of helpful information on budgeting, maps, and travel destinations.

Everything Everywhere: This is a frequently updated website by a guy traveling alone to lots of different places. The pictures are pretty good and it’s nice as he’s currently on the road. Also, I’ve gleaned a lot of helpful information about ways to make money while on the road from this website.

Us Vs the World: Describes the travel adventures of Brooke and Brian as they make their way around the world unconventionally.

Traveler’s Information:

Bootsnall: This sets the standard for traveler internet forums, in my opinion. Very helpful and friendly group of people along with lots of information about hostels, planning a RTW trip, destination, etc. Also, friendly for aspiring travel writers.

Lonely Planet: Their “Thorntree” forum is perhaps the best way to get LOTS of advice on detailed questions about unusual destinations.

Candy Blogs: 

Candy Blog: I love this blog!  Lots of candy reviews, descriptions, etc, but by someone who is much better at writing about food than me.  Also many excellent pictures.
