		<description>I started blogging while I was living overseas - it was a really good way to share the experience with my friends and family without spamming them - they could just check in on &lt;a&gt;Nerd&#039;s Eye View&lt;/a&gt; whenever they felt like it. But then it turned out I couldn&#039;t shut up. Seriously. That was more than five years ago.</description>

		<description>Hi Stacy - I think that&#039;s a great reason people start blogs, to fill the hole they believe is missing.  

And Timen - I&#039;m a big fan of 9rules as well, and was surprised by the lack of travel selection myself.

Glad you&#039;ve both joined the travel sphere!  And I&#039;m Looking forward to all the future great posts I know you&#039;ll write.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a big fan of &lt;a href=&quot;http://9rules.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;9rules&lt;/a&gt; and was visiting the sites filed under the travel category. I was, to be honest, a little disappointed with the selection (or lack thereof). So I thought to myself, hey, I love to travel and there are &lt;i&gt;obviously&lt;/i&gt; not that many travel related blogs out there. So I started &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inmyallstars.com/&quot; title=&quot;go to in my All Stars, my travel related blog&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;in my All Stars&lt;/a&gt;.

Since I started the site I&#039;ve come to the obvious conclusion that there are indeed quite a few travel sites out there that I just didn&#039;t know existed. But I&#039;m happy with the direction things are going so I&#039;m just going to keep things up.</description>

		<description>I do a lot of research on the web, and as I looked around for travel blogs, I found several I liked, but none that offered what I was looking for: simple stories and nice pictures of different destinations, and reviews of travel books and websites.  So, I decided to start my own, www.ramblingtraveler.com .
 
I love to travel and take pictures, so this is a great way for me to share my experiences. That is why I blog.</description>
