Weekend Reading – Best Travel Blogs This Week (2-7 May)

Hey everyone! this week has been an awesome week for us – firstly I would like to say HI and welcome all our new readers – the traffic to our site has been a record high – over 2,500 views this past month. After starting this site only 3 months ago we dreamt about having the ability to share what we do with as many people as we could – but never thought it would grow this fast – so thanks to you all and I am glad that we can offer you all this free travel value!

Secondly this week we were ranked as the #69 best travel blog our goal was to get into the Top100 by the middle of summer (July) so to be where we are now really blows our mind, but also tells me that we are doing something right and that’s such an awesome feeling – thanks once again to all our readers – you guys ROCK!

Now here are my personal top 5 travel blog posts from this week:

By reading through their blog you will find so many great tips, tricks and advice to help you save money – great stuff guys!

How To Create Your Own Personal Travel Security Plan – (Fox Nomad) Anil gives us another interesting and informative blog post, this time it’s about how you can create your own personal travel security plan – to be honest many of the things he talks about are things I never have really thought about, but wish I did know before – he is not trying to scare us, instead this blog gives you a bunch of simple tips for ways in which you can prepare for anything unexpected which might happen on your trip – to sum up: *Prepare Early, Prevent What You Can, And Be Ready For What You Can’t*

Visiting Into the Wild’s Magic Bus – (Free Wheeling) I’m sure you have seen the movie – Into The Wild – I am also sure that many of you after watching it, felt some sort of connection with Christopher and his free way of living life. Well Brandon decided that he would go out into the Alaskan Wildness and find the exact location of Christopher’s Magic Bus – in this blog he shares his personal motivations behind the adventure, exact GPS directions (in-case you also would like to go) and also the best time of year to travel there… great blog for those in search of adventure!

5 Essential Zen Habits for Balanced Living – not a travel blog, but one of the most inspiring and educational blogs for anyone who is interested in living a more balanced and happy lifestyle.

There you go – hope this week has been amazing – make sure you all have a great weekend and we will see you again on here next Monday!
