So with our new (still under wraps) launch of phase 1 of Travel Generation involving the wiki and the blog I have spent a whole day looking at all the travel blogs (those that I think are relevant to the backpacking market). Here is my pick of the crop in no particular order

http://www.nomad4ever.com/: asia-centric blog but good for anything world travel

http://itinerantlondoner.wordpress.com/: Geoff’s own blog as he travels around the world – nice presentation and true to the spirit of backpacking

http://www.nomadicmatt.com/: This blog got me thinking and is perhaps the root of much of the ideas for the upcoming travelgeneration blog. I have subscribed to his feed for sometime.

http://nobudgettravel.wordpress.com/: How to travel the world with no money

http://www.gadling.com/: An awesome travel blog and reference site – but I don’t know if it falls into the backpacking category strictly. Which probably begs the question – what is backpacking anyway?

http://killingbatteries.com/: I love this site; everything is just so honest and raw – for pure content one of my favourites

http://almostfearless.com/: very classy site

http://thetravelersnotebook.com/: one of the professional matador group websites – really fun content professionally produced

http://eurosatemydollars.com/: One of my favourites – lots of really proper useful content (instead of that photo of the day cliche post that fills so many travel blogs)

http://www.myseveralworlds.com/: Carrie Marshall’s beautifully produced blog about her time in Asia

http://sanddollaradventures.wordpress.com/: An almost pro-blogging site by an eternal traveller

http://travel.booklocker.com/: Tim Leffel’s Cheapest Destinations

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/blogs/travel_blog/: Yup!

http://gogreentravelgreen.com/: These guys are interesting – they focus on travel tips for eco-conscious travellers

http://www.travel-wonders.com/: this is a nice site with an eclectic collection of posts

http://travel-junkie.com/: Boris’ personal site is one of my favourites – he might spend a lot of time travelling, but he also has done a great job on this site

http://www.travel-betty.com/: A nice blog for travelling women

http://www.europealacarte.co.uk/blog/: An interesting array of content by an equally interesting array of bloggers – not a big fan of the design

http://frugaltravelguy.blogspot.com/: Some interesting hints on how to get the best deal on everything from flights to airpoints

http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/?fbid=BJ7euW: He is an absolute nutter, dancing round the world – absolutely brilliant
