Our favorite links...

Welcome to our monthly collection of resources from the web! If you’re new around here we will be gathering our favorite blog posts, articles, websites, apps, reviews, and links we think you might enjoy.

First up, since we are in a beginners mindset, is 28 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Traveling by the legendary Chris Guillebeau from The Art of Non-Conformity. (And if you don’t yet know who Chris is, or what an impact he’s been making in the travel community read more about him here.)

We are art buffs here so museums really get us going. If you feel the same way check out the Top 10 Museum Destinations.

A great resource for potential overseas students: GO! Overseas and GoAbroad. Great websites if you’re planning on volunteering, studying, teaching or even finding an internship in a foreign place.

Another website I’m becoming a fan of is Explorra. You can view my profile page here. Link it with your Facebook and you have an awesome community resource of friends to support your travel plans. The site even has a fun little quiz that identifies your “VisualDNA” or your travel personality based on your aesthetic preferences. (Mine came back as a “Culture Buff”.)

I also wanted to feature the International Ecotourism Society for those of you interested in a community of eco-friendly tourists and organization. It’s a great hub of information.
