My Favorite Travel Blogs

May 1st, 2009 | Posted by Pauline

I love reading blogs by travelers or people living in Europe. They help me understand countries that I plan to travel to and give me great travel information.

I use Google Reader to organize my feeds. Previously I “hand crafted” my list of favorite blogs on Slow Europe, but today figured out how to generate my blogroll from Google Reader (explained below if you want to do it).

I also list my favorite travel websites and forums (communities), but am still working on that list: Slow Europe – Travel Websites & Forums

If you have any favorite blogs or websites that I have not included, post here and tell me about them.

* Organize your feeds into folders in Google Reader. Click the “Manage Subscriptions” link at the bottom of the left navigation column. Select the “Folders and Tags” tab. Change the folders that you want to publish to “public”. For each folder, click the “add a blogroll to your site” link. A window pops up, select your color scheme, change the title, then copy the javascript onto your webpage. Now when you add or delete blog feeds in Google Reader, they change on your webpage, so you can manage your website blogroll from Google Reader.

    I came across this site that you might find interesting. A travel blog written by local “spotters”. Also tweeted it today.

    I just wanted to invite you to check out my blog – La Tavola Marche – on life in the Le Marche countryside from the eyes of 2 young American expats running a farm, agriturismo, inn & cooking school! We share crazy stories, festivals & market info, where to eat, photos, day trips and local seasonal Italian recipes!
