Ongoing:
http://dontstopliving.net/ – A wealth of information (real information!) on almost everywhere with more than a little personal touch. Frequent updates and a massive back catalogue that keeps growing. I visit almost every day! And he went to Antarctica!
http://www.onestep4ward.com/ – Not updated as much as in times past, but hopefully it will be as he’s obviously got some tales to tell at the moment.
http://hippie-inheels.com/ – Quite famous I believe, principally concerning India, and actually living there. Tonnes of content and very human.
http://www.bemytravelmuse.com/ – A smooth operation, a real traveller and a great photographer. Good on the light travelling and with in depth stuff on costs and feasibility.
http://aroundtheworldwithalison.com/ – Lived abroad and now travels from home base, good information for India most recently.
http://www.thisamericangirl.com/ – Fun and poetic and still going, how will things make you feel?
http://www.travelettes.net/ – For girls, but there’s a few of them and they get about (no offence meant!)
http://www.gofurthertravel.com/ – There can’t be very many young women in northern Alberta, they all seem to be travelling the world. This site doesn’t get a lot of updates but always looks like it will, so I keep an eye on it…
http://herpackinglist.com/ – Another one mainly for girls and about packing, but boys don’t seem to write much about packing…
http://www.travelindependent.info/ – A little bit of a community effort, though with one main author, and extremely comprehensive.
http://leaveyourdailyhell.com/ – He can do it, you can too. Presumably so can I…
http://www.halftheclothes.com/ – Also for inspiration, although with something of an agenda on light packing!
http://abroaderhorizon.weebly.com/ – A mates blog (and therefore a real person), a kiwi on OE in the UK.
http://travels-downunder.blogspot.com.au/ – Another mates blog; this one is now covering popular destinations in the far east and is written with a really human voice.
http://www.heartmybackpack.com/ – On indefinite hiatus from world travel. An impressive back catalogue of adventures and still updating in the new life.
http://bazintaz.blogspot.com.au/ – Stops in 2014, but he was on Macquarie Island!
http://www.travelpod.com/members/allieadventures#blogs – The first travel blog I ever read (or collection of blogs); long since finished, but very human.
