    Ok people, here is the thread you've all (both of you) been asking for.

    Here is a place where people can post up the Title, URL and a little blurb about your blog. Would also be handy to include the dates of your travels so people know how up to date it is.

    I'll let someone else go first while I spruce mine up.... :p

    Ok, I suppose I'll go first!!:D

    www.mytb.org/Wanderly-Wagon

    I have over 100 blogs written since I first started. The first few were 5 or 6 sentences long, the last few over 2000 words.

    I traveled South America South American Adventure, New Zealand The Adventures of Ted, Aus Mrs Doyle - Go on ya will & SE Asia South East Asia in 2009

    I also have blogs on Ireland and Scotland.

    Hopefully someone will enjoy them!

    Nice blog darren, nice and organized!

    Roysh,

    This is my first ever blog so it's probably a bit messy. I left Ireland for Uganda on 3rd November 2009, with no real plan in mind. I'm still in East Africa, I've been to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Malawi and I'm now in Kenya. I still have to write about Tanzania, Malawi and Kenya.

    Nice work lads!!

    My blog is www.tuisligh.com. Tuisligh is an Irish verb that means, 'To trip up'. I was looking for a word that meant trip or journey, then saw that and thought that sums up my blog pretty well.

    The blog was mostly for my RTW trip from June 2007 to September 2008, but I kept it going, it has info on a few trips where I volunteered in different countries and my current stint working in Kosovo. I intend to put up more info on volunteering abroad soon.

    hey

    Good idea for a thread. I started my blog last december for a 5 month trip starting with the trans-siberian in December then 4 months in Asia, 2 of which were in China. After 4 months in Ireland I'm traveling again this time south america so I'm back updating.

    My blog is www.carlocretaro.blogspot.com

    Myself and my girlfriend went to East Africa(originally meant to be just Tanzania) at the start of 2009 to work as independent volunteers in orphanages and schools for 3 months.

    We ended up visiting Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda and working along the way.

    The blog was a great way of keeping a record/journal of the trip and at some points kept me from going insane :)

    Enjoy if anyone reads it.

    Hi guys,

    My blog address is http://intrepidirish.wordpress.com/

    It pretty much covers the current travels of my girlfriend and I through Africa from Nairobi to Jo'burg, taking in Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia & South Africa.

    Following Africa, we travel to India for some time followed by our trek from Bangkok to Beijing.

    Hope you like the blog and it just might come in useful for some fellow boardsies at some point!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,029 ✭✭✭Pisco Sour


    Great idea. My blog is http://jamessullivan4.blogspot.com

    Started it in September 2010 and so far it covers Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, New Zealand and Australia where I am now.

    Hope you enjoy it!

    @ Four of a Kind:

    Cool blog. Myself and the g/f will be in Bali at christmas, gonna head to the Gili islands too. How did you find it? Did you stay in beach huts or a hotel? We're having trouble finding huts on the net and are a bit worried everything might be booked when we arrive due to it being christmas.

    I've been traveling for the last 9 months (USA, Canada, South America, Africa and Australia) and have recently started writing about my experiences. My blog is mainly about travel but I write about other topics sometimes as well. If you are interested you can take a look here:

    Finally got around to converting from blogger over to my own domain!

    This is a pretty cool idea! My wife and I are travelling around South America in our truck. We're what might be called "Self Sustained" in that we dont need hostels or hotels etc, so we'll have no useful info for anyone on that. All other things should be useful though!

    We have been on the road since Christmas 2011, and spent the first few months in Morocco and Europe before sailing to Uruguay with our truck.

    This is a link to my trip through Africa last year. After starting in Jordan, I went across to Egypt, then overland down to South Africa and then visited a few other countries in Southern Africa, finishing in Zimbabwe.

    I went to South East Asia afterwards, but have been too lazy to get a blog done on that yet. One day...
