[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m currently reading through Rick Steves’ site for travel ideas but would like to explore other sites and books and going beyond Europe.

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.[/quote][/quote]

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

Not OP, but every time I click on a travel blog from a Pinterest post I'm struck by how it feels like the post was written based on other internet blog posts -- and the person was probably not even really there. [/quote]

NP.

I have a travel blog and I know exactly what you’re talking about. They’re all the same, they list out thing to do that they never did, they list out the “best” restaurants and places to stay - when you know they never stayed at all of them or ate at all of them and it drives me nuts. I don’t do this on my blog, but I know why they do it -  affiliate links. I also am not afraid to say something negative about something I’m writing about. You just don’t see that on blogs anymore.

Pinterest is good for traffic for blogs because google wiped us off the face of the earth in favor of AI summaries, sponsored links, Reddit threads and Quora results :( [/quote]
