There are a lot of people out there writing & blogging about travel such as myself. I’ve got a few Twitter-lists on the subject, but you should also check out these links.

Travel Twitter Lists

1. My Favorite Travelers: The RTW travelers on this list are likely to @reply you if you message them, so be sure to say hello to these travel-friendly folks. I’ve tried to compile people who are currently on a RTW trip, or soon will be, not to mention those useful travel sites & forums which have actual people manning their Twitter marketing.
2. @brianepeters’ list of RTW Travelers: Considering RTW travel? This is a good place to begin.
3. @tcbeatie’s list of Travel Writers: A collection of both those that do free lance travel writing as well as links to the web’s best travel sites.
4. @shawnosaurus’s list of Travel Blogs: A nice round-up of many of the other travel bloggers out there in the Twitter-verse.

Travel Bloggers

Okay, so there are a lot of RTW travel writers (freelance & professional) out there. This is a list. I’m going to try to describe each one in under 3 words.
