Hi All, so once again Jon and I haven’t really gotten out to do anything fun and new in NYC and I don’t think it’ll happen this weekend as we have a crazy jam packed weekend ahead. So I thought I would take this post and share with you some of the travel blogs that I follow on a regular basis.
The US/World
Intelligent Travel Blog – This is National Geographic’s travel blog. There is a good variety of information on here. Sometimes it’s just tidbits of information for a specific city or region, sometimes it’s an extensive review on a travel destination, sometimes it’s updated blogs following someone during their travel. I like that it’s in all different mediums. The mixture keeps me interested and coming back. I’ve definitely learned about some great travel destinations through this website, if only there were enough time (and more importantly money) to go to all of them!
My Kugelhopf – This site has the most amazing photos! The author, Kerrin, is a New Yorker who lives in Switzerland. She writes about her travels, the food from the areas she visits (most specifically the sweets – YUM) and shares recipes of what she sometimes tries to recreate. I love reading about her trips and her culinary exploits, but seriously I L.O.V.E. her photos!!! They are so beautiful.
Spot Cool Stuff: Travel – This website is exactly what it sounds like, it features the unusual that you might stumble upon in your travels. Unusual places to travel, stay, eat, etc. I don’t know that I would necessarily go to any of these places, but it’s always interesting to see what they’re stumbling over.
The Lost Girls - This website started when 4 New Yorkers decided to take a trip around the world. They have since returned from said trip, but now they have people all over who write blogposts about where they are, what they’re doing, how they’re traveling, etc. It’s fun to read about all these woman having these amazing traveling experiences with friends or on their own.
New York City
Newyorkology – is that even a word? This site is the 411 on anything and everything going on in NYC. From the usual New York happenings, to uncovering some of the hidden gems this city has to explore. They are especially great to follow on twitter because they keep me up to date on everything and anything going on in NYC. If you live in the city or are just visiting this is a great place to go for any and all information.
Walking Off the Big Apple – Jon and I love walking around NYC and have done a couple of walking tours of different neighborhoods that we’ve gotten from one of our guide books. If you are looking for fun and innovative walking tours (think themed after your favorite novels) Walking Off the Big Apple is the place to be reading. The author, Teri, puts together such fun tours that range in distance and explore all sorts of fun building, spaces and time periods. I’m hoping that Jon and I can do a couple of these ourselves this year.
