Site of the Day for Tuesday, April 5, 2011
Amateur Traveler
Today's site, from Californian Chris Christensen, has been offering an ongoing
consideration of places of interest for the traveler since 2005. Gentle
Subscribers
will discover an excellent and enthusiastic resource for information on exotic
locales as well as the essentials on more humdrum locations.
"Travel for the love of it ... The Amateur Traveler focuses on the best places
to
travel to ... intended for people who love to travel or at least dream about
travel. It covers everything from road trips to swimming with whales in Tonga.
...
We share travel tips, things you would not learn from the guidebook, funny
travel
stories and surprises." - from the website
This informative and widely recognized publication provides a new,
easy-to-access
podcast each week as well as frequent video travel podcasts. Tabbed headings
highlight discussion forums, archives and a photo gallery with dozens of
striking
images categorized by geographic region. The list of travel podcasts in the
Episodes section ranges from Travel to Brooklyn in New York City, an informative
interview with native Andrew Hickey, to Travel in Papua New Guinea with
professional traveler Beth Whitman. In addition, the site features news and
reviews
of travel-related books. Not suitable for the workplace, perhaps, but
irresistible
nevertheless, is the link to the television ad -- "Funny Norwegian Airline
Commercial."
