Blog Crawl Monday: Part 5

Another week, and another great Blog Crawl through the world wide web. Shortly after waking up this morning I read a wonderful post about Paris on “My Melange“. Robin has a wonderful way with words and reading her favourite memories of Paris brought back some of my own. Thanks to Robin I have a serious craving for light-flaky-deliciously-doughy-croissants!
In traditional Blog Crawl fashion I searched Robin’s website for a links page, but I was unable to find one. What I did find was her Travel Photo Friday: Thai Punk post. An amazing photo submitted by blogger and photographer Barbara Weibel of Hole in The Donut Travels. Barbara has some wonderful posts, I really enjoyed her post on Mazatlan, Mexico.
- A Wandering Sole- Laura’s spending the next 8 months traveling around the world, running, volunteering and having crazy fun times. I read her packing post last night and I was amazed at the detail! This girl knows how to pack!
- Ottsworld- A great travel blog with amazing photography!
- Nomadic Matt- Now I KNOW you’re aware of this blog and I was bound to crawl through it sooner or later! I think one of the things I like about Matt’s blog is the non-BS side of travel. He’s written some wonderful posts on hostels, events and even has an e-book about being a successful travel blogger. If you’re planning on traveling to New Zealand (I am) sometime soon be sure to read his post about “Budgeting in New Zealand“.
- Two Go Round The World- Fellow Canadians who are planning, preparing and packing for their RTW trip in 2011.
- Crossing The Line- Ok, I saw a post on Banff and had to look. We all know I love driving through Banff with my camera, especially since I live so close to it.
Blog Highlight
Trans-Americas Journey. In 2006 Karen (writer) and Eric (photographer) left their jobs in NYC to travel the Americas for the next 5 years. I loved their post “Third Time’s a Charm- Guanajuato, Mexico“. I’ve been more and more curious about Mexico and just now starting to do some research. Although my RTW trip will take place mostly in Asia I’d like to make Central America the next trip I take. Mexico is so full of history, gorgeous architecture and some seriously yummy food!
Stay tuned for more blogs next week as I continue to crawl through the we, looking for new content to read and share. If you have a blog you think I should check out, leave a comment!

Pamela,
Thanks for the kind words about our Trans-Americas blog.
Once you are fully infected with the the travel bug it can’t be cured, there is no going back. Don’t worry about Central & South America…they’re not going anywhere. Our last long-term trip was 4 years around South & SE Asia (199501999) – India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, W. China, Tibet, Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. It took a few years to get it together, but 6 years later we hit the road again on our curtent Journey…3+ years and 100,000+ miles in and hopefully lots more to go.
And yes, Mexico rocks. We’ll have spent more than 12 months here before we’re done.

12 months, WOW! I have a friend from Morielia, so I’m hoping to go there after Asia.
Thanks for including with with these other great blogs! I’m a big fan!
You’re welcome, and thank-you! I love the design of your site.
Hi Pamela:
Thank you so much for including me in your Blog Crawl. I’m currently in week two of a 4-month backpacking trip through Mexico, Central and South America and am delighted that so many people seem to be following me. Hope you will return to see what adventures befall me. I’ll definitely be back to check out your blog!

Hi Barbara,
You’re welcome! I love reading blogs about travels in Central and South America. I plan on traveling there myself, but not for awhile as my upcoming trip is to Asia. I look forward to reading more of your blog!

Here’s hoping Mexico gets bumped up on the Impending Travels list!! I’ve been in Mexico City for almost 2 years now– it’s an amazing place, and the variety of travel opps around here is equally impressive. I think you’d enjoy it!
