Great list, and some inspiring stories! We, too, have been traveling, from Australia to the UK and Costra Rica to Canada! This is our time to travel, and we have a website we are recording our adventures on for ourselves and anyone else who is interested. It’s http://www.offthetrails.com. Check it out!

If my wife, Nicky, and I check out one of these sites per night, we should gain the courage to take the plunge again and head out into the wide blue yonder. Great inspiration!

Thanks for the links.

I’ve been traveling the USA with my dog solo for the past two years.

A very inspiring list. It’s stories like these that make me happy to be out on the open road!
Breaking the shackles of an ordinary 9 to 5 office job, so very liberating!

Keep up the good work.

I have a similar story like the 12 travel sites you have listed above, except I decided to travel after 6 years of working in corporate marketing. I started a small marketing consulting business a couple years ago, worked over 80 hours a week and decided to take a break- I had accomplished a lot in my marketing/business career but felt there was something missing with me. I needed to travel and see the world.

So…here I am, unemployed and loving every minute of it! I am currently traveling the Netherlands and plan to travel all over europe this year. At the moment I am staying with some friends at their place in Amsterdam.

You can visit my travel blog at: http://www.traveltothenetherlands.blogspot.com

Thank you for sharing your website!

I saw some great websites or travelers I already knew about, like ‘where the hell is Matt?’. Loved what he did and also some travelers in the comments. But I’m glad I got to learn about a few new ones too. Thanks for sharing this list!

Not quite the same sort of travel site as the ones listed here but my recommendation is for the Unexpected Traveller: http://unexpectedtraveller.wordpress.com

He travels a lot for work (which must be great and annoying in equal measures) and this blog is all about the unusual situations he finds himself in.

Good list, but definitely needs some diversity. So I would like to throw in our family’s website: http://www.NoOrdinaryJourney.com. We have travelled for months at a time, most recently in SE Asia. This is no small feat when you have a child who is a wheelchair user!

These guys will make you think about what really is important, and maybe even dream a bit.
