Hey guys,

I haven’t done this in a while and there are so many travel bloggers out there who deserve shout-outs. Here’s my round-up of travel bloggers I want to give a big-up to:

1) Candice Does The World: Candice keeps me laughing, especially the recent ups (haha) and downs of a recent resort vacay in Mexico.

2) The Aussie Nomad: I’ve been enjoying checking out the Aussie Nomad’s preparation for his world adventure. Go Aussie, go!

3) Twenty-Something Travel: She’s posted a great convo-starter about hostels, plus I’ve enjoyed reading her guest series about Buenos Aires. Great, relevant tips.

4) Kaleidoscopicwandering: She lives in Las Vegas and travels extensively. (In fact, she’s in USVI as we speak. Jealous!) Plus, her article about zip-lining in Roatan made me jones for Honduras.

5) Dirtbag Writer: I knew this gal was awesome, but after her recent post on Wisconsin I thought to myself, “Damn. I wish I could drink mugs of beer and dance in the snow with this gal. She rocks.”

6) My Miss Adventures: Carina fascinates me. I love her blogs, which tie in life questions, writing, and traveling. I really liked her recent Me and the Mountain piece too.

7) Lonely Girl Travels: I am just in awe of Lauren. Thanks to her, I’ve actually learned that I can travel to Cuba as an American. She could kick me butt and write stunning prose in one fell swoop.

8) Miles of Abbie: I loved following her “best-of” series in December and seeing how she incorporates community into her blog. I kept thinking about her running marathons as I complained about all the walking I was doing in Argentina. Way to be, Abbie!

9) Girl Unstoppable: She’s got a new site-I’m stoked! Her passion for writing and travel is beautiful to witness. I’m inspired whenever I read her posts.

10) Flying Suitcase: I’m so proud to be a fellow sister intern with Neha (along with the awesome Abbie from Miles of Abbie). Her writing is gorgeous. I want her to guide me around India someday too.
