If you Google "travel blog" you will get 113,000,000 hits. That's a whole lot of information out there. There is a travel blog for every type of travel, for every type of traveler, and for all things in between. Travelers of all kinds from all over the world put their experiences and images on the web for anyone to access. It's a wonderful thing. No matter what your interest, you can find someone who has been there, done that, and wants to tell you all about it. There are blogs from critics, there are blogs from novices, photographers, wanderers, sailors, skiiers, just anything you want to know. It doesn't really matter how much experience someone has; it matters that they are willing to share it. You can always get great advice from seasoned travel advisors, but they sometimes can't share the "local color" that a strangers vision can impart. It's so much fun to search the web. Travel vicariously through other eyes. And now there is "Twitter", and so many travel "tweets" that you can't count them. I am "following" a traveler, @Everywheretrip , on Twitter, that sold his house and is traveling the world. He's got a web page, http://everything-everywhere.com/, that I have linked to my Google home page, and I can see his photos as soon as he can post them. His experiences are wonderful to follow. And what a great thing to be able to share them so instantaneously.
Be a good traveler and share your own experiences. Or maybe only the good ones. Save the bad ones for the critics.
