I've been toying with the idea of launching a travel website for awhile now; there are so many things that I learn every day, so many moments that remind me how far from home I am in both good and bad ways. There are a lot of travel websites out there, but most of them are either quite commercial or very personal. I am really excited for the new site, A Tramp Abroad, to focus on helpful, quirky tips but also feature really outstanding longer form travel writing. Oh, and our tag line is 'Inspiring wanderlust." Perfect, no?
I'll still be writing here - this will always be the place I feel like I can unload about all the more personal experiences and feelings that are niggling at me and on occasion I'll post links to any longer form pieces I write on the other website.
We've got some shorter news pieces up already along with a few bits of original content that I hope you'll check out -
- Dreaming About Egypt: Advice for Western Travelers
- Traveling Light Pep Talk: Getting Ready for the Journey
- Top Five Tips: Questions to Ask When Renting in the Tropics
It's still very much a work in progress but feedback is very much welcome. Also, we're looking for guest bloggers so if you have any ideas, please let me know.

It's such a great idea to have a traveling website. A lot of travelers (including myself on occasion) need help in that area!!

Thanks so much for the lovely comment! I just looked at your blog and I have a similar problem - always falling in love with things, ideas, people maybe a little bit too easily. It's not a horrible problem to have really except that it makes me disappointed when they don't live up to my expectations. :)
Happy traveling and I look forward to reading more of your site.
