The Blog and Website post – 27/02/2012

Every now and then I like to do one of these posts and today is one of those days. The sun is shining so I think it’s only fair the love be shared on the internet too.

These are the 4 blogs/websites that I’m following at the moment. Each have their own awesome points and I urge you to have a look!

• Velvet Escape –

The layout of this blog is great, it’s so fresh and clean it really makes you want to read on forever.  Amazing stories from an ex-bankers trip around the world paired with breath taking pictures really make the Velvet Escape blog shine!

•  Wandering Earl –

This is a blog that I have somewhat recently stumbled upon and I’m so glad that I did. Earl captures his travels in comedic and interesting blog posts that inspire his readers (me included) to continue on with the travel dream! The other thing that I love about Earls blog is the fact that you can relate everything he writes back to yourself. In many of his post he writes about problems that the majority of travellers face which of course makes for a great read!

•  Travelll.com –

So this one is slightly different, it’s a news website more than a blog. The topics are varied depending on the latest information in the news which makes it a great website to keep you up to date.
