lostgirlsworld.blogspot.com has got to be the Number One travel blog of 2007! This is the kind of blog/book that you just can’t put down! I have never had the desire to travel outside the states before,although I love traveling here in the USA. But after spending time reading this blog, I am ready fo step outside of my safety zone. I have been inspired, motivated, well-informed and excited. Thank you lostgirlsworld.
February 7th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
lostgirlsworld is an inspirational blog that can help even the travel-impaired learn just how to embark on a short jaunt or a world-wide tour. Every aspect of how to prepare, finances, passports, hostels, hotels, roughing it, having fun, avoiding crime, enjoying the culture and navigating one’s way thru a foreign country. All written with humor and insight. I HIGHLY recommend lostgirlsworld.
