Remember when everyone had a 'blogroll' and that was how your discovered other cool sites? It's shame that got lost somewhere along the way. I think it's still an awesome way to discover new sites. Here are some of the people that enrich my world.

### Travel Writing

Personally I don't care about destination reviews. I refuse to visit sites that stoop to *Top X about Y* headlines and I don't really care who paid for you to go visit Cancun and *wasn't the food at the resort just delightful*? Life is too brief to waste your time reading that sort of crap.

Which of course means I don't follow many travel blogs. Here is my list of travel websites that don't suck:

[Note From the Road](http://www.notesfromtheroad.com/) -- If you only click one link in this list, make it this one.

[Inhab.it](http://inhab.it/) -- I can't remember how I found inhab.it (I think we have a mutual friend maybe?)

[Expeditionary Art](http://expeditionaryart.com/) -- I love this site and am wildly jealous of the amazing artistic talent on display here.

[Vagabond Journey](http://www.vagabondjourney.com/) -- I first started [following Wade Shepard's site](http://www.vagablogging.net/the-future-of-vagabonding-and-long-term-travel.html) back when I was [editing Rolf Potts' Vagablogging.net](http://www.vagablogging.net/vagablogging-alumni.html). If my math is right, Wade has been traveling continuously for over 15 years now. There is not much about travel that he has not figured out. 

[Expert Vagabond](http://expertvagabond.com/) -- Most travel blogs are utter crap, this one is not. Mathew is a talented photographer, good writer and has something all too rare in traveler's these days -- a sense of adventure.



[Adventure Journal](http://www.adventure-journal.com/) -- One of two magazine-style travel sites I follow. As with anything collaborative it's hit or miss, but there are some great essays for travelers, naturalists and adventurers.
