The Lonely Planet Blog posted a new episode of their “76-Second Travel Show,” a not-so-well-produced-but-ultimately-interesting video program, in which they asked the question, “Which do you prefer on planes: window seat or aisle seat?” As far as I’m concerned, I like them both. Although I’m about 5 feet 10 inches tall, I have a tall torso, so plane seats can [...]
I saw a post this morning on Modern Hiker about the Google Street View team taking their cameras offroad with a specially built tricycle. While the Google team seems to be concentrating on urban pedestrian areas, including theme parks like LEGOLAND, the guys over at Modern Hiker seem to think that a Google Trails View might not be far off.

What inspires you to travel? For me, the idea to go visit a place can be inspired by any number of things. A television program, a picture, hell, even just the idea I have in my head of a place can make me want to pick up my backpack and hop on a plane. Of course, reality always sets in [...]

One such Tweeter is Bexmith, who in many ways seems to be a kindred spirit. Recently, her love of travel and food somehow conjoined our fates and brought to my [...]
As we truck along here on Part Time Vagabond, you’ll notice a few themes will begin to emerge. Eventually, you’ll learn that I love to read, and I love to drink good beer. So it’s only fitting that I made friends with Josh Christie of BrewsAndBooks.com. And of course, Josh (who has guest posted here on PTV) let me write [...]
Everyone has one. Whether you write it down, type it, or store it deep in the bowels of your mind, it’s always there, lurking. The List. All the places you want to go, the sights you want to see, the experiences you want to have. Generally, I’m not a fan of The List, because it just makes me depressed looking [...]
Ok, maybe these blogs aren’t necessarily the absolute best in the world, and the list is certainly not exhaustive, but they all are at least interesting and fun to read. And I like them dammit. Do you have a favorite? Pop it in the comments and let me know! The Path Less Pedaled Russ and Laura are on a mission: [...]
