Lisa Lubin had a successful career in the broadcasting industry for 15 years. Eventually, she decided she needed a change, and she hit the road to work her way around the world, blogging as she went. She’s been a barista in Melbourne, taught English in Istanbul and babysit pets in France.
She wrote about it all on her blog LLworldtour. It’s not so much a personal blog, but a compendium of thoughts and ruminations on all things travel-related. Her latest post expounds upon the benefits of walking while others give specific specific tips like popular travel phrases in Vietnamese. These are all sorted by country and can be quite helpful whether you’re planning a big trip like her, or a weekend getaway to the next state.
Lisa has received many awards for her blog, and she has gotten praise from influential bloggers such as Chris Elliot, Women on the Road, The Travel Chicks Radio Show and Chicagoist.

What a majestic view. A beautiful photo and location. Wish I was there.

@admin: I must say your blog is the first I’ve come across this morning that doesn’t have typos every other line. Thanks for taking the time to construct something that doesn’t look like a 5th grader wrote. Sorry, just had to vent.
