BEST DESTINATION OR TRIP NARRATIVE BLOG
This award celebrates the best travel blog focusing on particular destinations, either through local expertise on cities, countries, etc., or through a compelling trip narrative that documents the ins-and-outs of the author’s voyage. Quality writing and/or photography about that location that make you want to book a flight (or train, or ship) as soon as you can.
You may nominate UP TO THREE BLOGS by leaving a comment in this post. (Click here to do so.) If your favorite has been nominated already, feel free to show your love and nominate it again, though a blog only needs to be nominated once to be in contention.

http://www.everything-everywhere.com Gary (the writer) takes me to places all over the world that I’ve never heard of and would never experience otherwise. No other travel blog engages me like this one, and it’s the first site I check every morning.

I humbly would like to nominate my own blog -
www.travelpod.com/members/djchurch
I’m about two years into what is supposed to be a four year trip that has so far taken me from the Middle East, from top to bottom in Africa, and currently through the Indian Sub-continent.
I think my writing has improved over the course of the blog, and for about seven months had a monthly column in a Canadian newspaper, the Halifax Daily News (now defunct. Not my fault!)
Thank you.

i wrote a 7-week account of a trip i won from Conde Nast Traveler, and it was published on the Perrin Post.
