Two Reasons to ADORE America – Lillie (Around The World L) gives us 2 reasons why you must adore America, we haven’t been to America yet, but are planning a trip there later this year, and this blog gives us more motivation. Lillie traveled the world and by doing so realized what a wonderful place America was – travel does that to you sometimes thanks for sharing!

7 Tips and Resources for Relocating Abroad – a guest post on (Backpacking Matt) by Lauren shares with us 7 tips and resources for those of you who are thinking of not just traveling abroad but also would like to settle down and start a new life in a new country – great stuff!

The Truth About Travel in China – Part Two: Food - Keith & Amy (Green Around The Globe) are currently in China and in the second part of a blog series, share the truth about China. As they say* The food is terrible. That is, if you can even figure out what it is you’re eating.* haha sounds like a bit of an experience trying to order food over there (never really knowing what you are getting) – I would love to check it out and see what happens, it really is stories like this that make me WANT to go and visit a place… I think that getting to see things like that really makes the trip worth it!

Missing the Comforts of Home – Oh I can so relate to this one – Sarah (She’s In Love With The World) has spent 4 months away from home and in this blog she lists a bunch of this that she misses while on the road – some of the things I miss about home: everyone speaking English, certain food choices, my own big bed, a wardrobe of clothes (more than just a backpack full) – what about you? I am sure she would love to hear your own *missed comforts* in her comment section.

My Favorite Australian Hostels – Matt (Nomadic Matt) does it again… this time after spending a few months going through Aussie, he gives us his favorite hostels – he mentions this is a preview for a future blog which will be ranking the best hostel of 2010. I think it is great to be able to read about others you trust who have gone to certain places and can share tips about places to stay etc – thanks Matt!

Well there you go, many new blogs there for you to read, hope you enjoy them and make sure you have a great weekend.

Take care,
