Travel Links

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 freelance travel writing as well as links to the web’s best travel sites.
