Travel Tip Tuesday – Best Travel Blogs
This Travel Tip Tuesday, I have decided to share some travel blogs that I love. There are so many different types of travel blogs. Ones that highlight a specific location, ones that offer advice, ones that report on the best travel deals, ones that review travel gear…the list goes on and on.
I sure do appreciate that you consider me a resource for France and Italy- offering travel tips, advice, arm chair stories and photos. But let's face it, there are soooo many travel blogs out there, I would be foolish to keep them all to myself! There are more than enough to go around.
And I am so into paying it forward; this is my way of throwing out some good karma into the universe.
Who knows maybe the karma fairy will throw a free trip into my lap as some sort good karma payment?
Well, one can hope.
Here are some of my favorites:
Budget Travel Blog. This one is an extension of the magazine and covers so much more. Current travel news, great photos, deals galore, and yes, travel tips. Whether you subscribe to the mag or not, this is one you shouldn't miss!
Spa Resorts. If you want a spa vacation, you can find it here. This one is spas. Nothin' but spas. Gorgeous pictures and delicious descriptions. Even if you don't want a spa vacation- come here just for a little zen escape.
My Marrakesh. Maryam gives us a wonderful look at her life living in Morocco. This is a great resource if you are planning a trip there. She is opening a resort of her own, so maybe you can make her home, your home, on your Moroccan vacation.
The Perrin Post. Wendy writes for Conde Nast Magazine and is considered an authority on consumer travel issues. Her blog covers a wide variety of travel topics.
Cheapest Destinations. You know budget travel is near and dear to my heart. It is no wonder I like this site! It was a Forbes Best of the Web winner. It covers travel destinations, deals, bargains, gear, books and more.
The Cranky Flier. Brett is a self proclaimed airline dork. His blog is about…you guessed it, flying. Anything you ever wanted to know about planes, airports, airlines, and fees are found here.
Gridskipper. This one is pretty cool. It covers 10 areas. New York, Paris, San Fran and the Hamptons are a few. Short post's that are long on info. Articles give recommendations on hip themed attractions complete with Google maps of the locations. Love that!
Go Green Travel Green. For all of your eco-conscious travelers out there, this is an excellent resource. This one covers green destinations, tips on green travel, green gear, green activities and my favorite, 31 Reasons to Travel Green, in pictures.
Ok, that's enough from me. Now it is your turn! I know you have your favorite travel blogs, please share them in the comments!

Last year when I made our holiday planning to France some of the travel blogs helped me like a travel guide in my journey providing detailed informations like from cheap ferry crossings , good hotels,carrental agents and he great spots to visit etc.From there I came to know about norfolkline which is one of the few good and cheap ferry crossings to France.
