January 6, 2010

Heather Cowper was just recently re-inspired to travel on a large scale two years ago, when she took a trip to the Amazon.

“I try to bring each place I visit alive for my readers”, says Heather, “so that they can feel they are traveling with me, tasting the local specialties and breathing in the atmosphere”.

She’s also started a YouTube channel and a podcast series that are picking up speed lately.

Heather shares lots of amusing travel stories like finding the latest dirndl fashions in Munich, and a family day out at the historic dockyards in Portsmouth.

You can find these things and valuable information and resources like hotel reviews alongside travel product reviews and giveaways at her blog, Heatheronhertravels.com.

Sharon Hurley Hall will point you to travel tips about frequent flyer programs, business travel, travel gadgets, saving money on travel and destinations.

She also highlights the airports where Park Ride Fly USA has parking facilities and describes interesting attractions and things to do in those cities.

I particularly enjoyed the posts about the Las Vegas and Anchorage airports.

“There are trip reports on some of the destinations I’ve visited,” Sharon says. “Occasionally, I have a rant about travel issues that push my buttons. So stop by and have a read – I’d love to get to know you.”

She’s also got a noteworthy roundup of monthly travel blogosphere buzz, that’s pretty interesting too.

As her blog grows, I’m sure there’ll be more great stuff coming from Sharon in the future. Keep up the great work.

She’s just recently moved to Spain after a four-month escapade around Latin America. It’s not the first time she’s uprooted herself though.

“Over the past few years, I’ve packed my bags and moved from Singapore to London, Madrid, Tanzania and now back to Spain,” Nellie says.

“Through my words, readers are brought through my life journey.”

Some of her most fascinating include a glimpse of Bohemian life in Peru, cooking in Catalan and climbing a volcano in Guatemala.

“I try to capture the spirit of wild jaunting on my blog where I write about my travels in less-explored corners of the world,” she continues.

“I bring readers through pictorial journeys and also share with them tips to traveling long-term.”

Let’s hope that roller coaster spirit continues to flow no matter where Nellie’s life takes her next.

No matter what happens, follow along with her as she goes at Wild Junket.
