Besides Rick Steve’s’ website, what is another travel site to explore?

Check guidebook sites, such as National Geographic (travel content is free), Fodor's, Frommer's, and Rough Guides. Rough Guides are the premiere guide for Europe, so maybe more there. I like Travel and Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler for context and ideas, even if the hotels skew luxury. Also peruse a trip site like Backroads--they give you their itineraries and all the places they are staying.

Agree. Those are good.

Currently, I would love more in depth Ireland, Scotland and England beyond London. Neolithic sites are a fav.

But also looking at a possible friend visiting tour that would take us from Frankfort, Berlin and Hannover in Germany, then to Prague and Budapest.
Provence is another love romp. - I liked ‘A Year in Provence’ as well as Carol Drinkwater’s books of buying and bringing back a house and olive grove.

Another trip is to Peru/Bolvia/Chili, but with a cousin who is an archeologist with a focus there and who will guide us around.

A little later, a New Zealand / Australia trip is planned. I’d love to find a trove of info on that trip too.

Google is crappy now
There is travel stuff literally everywhere on the internet, where have you been? Travel blogs, youtube channels, facebook groups, pinterest. I've never been to Rick Steeve's site and I have no trouble finding this stuff. Google is your friend.

I like to use Pinterest to find travel blogs. Also, adding "Blog" or "Review" after your google search term helps a ton.

I use itineraries I find on Pinterest as a jumping off point for planning all the time. You can be really specific in your search if you want to, because there are some more niche travel blogs out there that can be helpful.
