1. Hey Joe,

   Thanks for the shout out. I did write about home, just recently 🙂

   But agree, most folks only write about stuff far away from home. But everyone loves a good travel story, regardless of the location.

2. Thanks for the inclusion here, Joe. Actually, I’ve got a whole section of my blog dedicated to my hometown.

   http://solofriendly.com/solofriendly-burlington-vt/

   I also blog about specific Vermont events, restaurants, etc. as I experience them. Since I only get to travel three or four times a year, I figure why not fill in the blanks with Vermont info for people visiting my home state?

   • Gray I think it’s great you are featuring your local stuff as well as your trips, and agree that all of us should be doing that.

     I’m fond of Burlington because I grew up across the lake in Plattsburgh, NY – we used to ride bikes over on the ferry.

     • No way! Really? What a small world. 🙂
3. Couldn’t agree more. Many of my posts have been dedicated to “Weekend Getaways” for travelers wanting to get out of Dodge without breaking the bank. I also write about why women should get out there! Lots of great posts on here. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

4. Thanks for calling me cool Joe! 🙂 I try to incorporate some stories by my hometown, NYC, but when you work 10 hours a day, blogging becomes a little harder.

5. Thanks for including My Itchy Travel Feet, Joe. I often write about my home territory of Tucson and the southwest. There’s plenty of active travel for baby boomers (my specialty) here. I like to mix up blog content between the southwest, domestic and international travels that I’ve experienced. Don’t want my readers to get bored 🙂

9. Hi Joe,

   Thanks for the massive lists; good work.

   It’s a bit hard to write about “home” as we’re almost never there! We did a photo essay on our home city of Auckland while we were there … Not sure if it counts.

   Cheers,
   Craig

   • Thanks for the note Craig – I think your Auckland piece is exactly the right idea – “visit” your home city through the eyes of a traveler, but with all the experience and cultural wisdom only a local can possess in great measure. Blog on!

10. Thanks for putting us on this most excellent round up!

    As full time nomads without a homebase, it would impossible to write about what is local to us. In a way, all of our posts about places are about our home for the moment 🙂

    • That’s cool too Cherie – I’d sure like to a very rough number of what I’d call “real Travel bloggers” which would be everybody who blogs a travel item at least one a week in any venue. I used to think it was extremely high but I no longer am convinced of that – a lot of folks stop blogging after a few months or years, and most don’t talk travel.

16. Thanks for listing me and I like your suggestion. My town (Atlanta) may not be tourism’s top 10 destination but there are some good things to do and see that I always tell folks about – might as well put it on digital paper! I have this down now on my to-write list. Cheers!

17. Wow… that is a serious list my friend. Glad to see my name on it, even though there is a spelling error 🙂

18. Hi Joe,

    My budget travel blog, A View To A Thrill has a couple of great articles about what to do in my hometown of Atlanta: http://aviewtoathrill.net/2011/01/09/5-unique-and-fun-things-to-do-that-will-keep-georgia-on-your-mind/ and http://aviewtoathrill.net/2010/12/10/11-of-the-best-free-things-to-do-in-atlanta/.

19. Hello Joe!
    Thanks for the inclusion here!
    My hometown is Chicago and although i have traveled around the world, my “Chicago” category has nearly the most posts! I LOVE my city and brag about it on my blog and was an ambassador to it ’round the world. 🙂

23. My wife and I lived in Salta, Argentina for several months about a decade ago and have been back a few times since then and know the region. We just published a mystery novel set in Salta and the surrounding areas, which should have all the background information anybody might want to have read before visiting the area, at a very affordable price. The book, “The Empanada Affair” is available from Amazon as an E-book for $0.99. Go to http://www.amazon.com and search their book section for “empanada affair”. Click on the picture or title to get to the page where you can buy the book and at the same time you can download a free Kindle reader application. The book has chapters that describe Salta, Cafyate, Jujuy, Purmamarca, Cachi, Humahuaca, and much of the rest of the region. You can also get descriptions of food, wine, and artisanal crafts from the novel. There is a lot more detail than you will find in the typical travel blog. And you’ll also get a nice book to read during the long flight(s) or bus rides to B.A. and Salta from wherever you start your trip.

29. My wife and I also lived in Montevideo, Uruguay for several months about a decade ago and have been back several times since then and know the region. We just published a mystery novel set in Montevideo and the surrounding areas, which should have all the background information anybody might want to have read before visiting the area, at a very affordable price. The book, “The Ambivalent Corpse” is available from Amazon as an E-book for $2.99. Go to http://www.amazon.com and search their book section for “ambivalent corpse”. Click on the picture or title to get to the page where you can buy the book. At the same time you can download a free Kindle reader application from the same page. The book has chapters that describe Montevideo, the ferry ride from Colonia del Sacramento to Buenos Aires, Punta del Este and Piriapolis, the drive north to the Brazil border, a real dude ranch in the Florida province, Iguazu falls, and much of the rest of the region. You can also get descriptions of food, wine, and artisanal crafts from the novel. There is a lot more detail than you will find in the typical travel blog. And you’ll also get an exciting new book to read during the long flight(s) or bus rides to Montevideo from wherever you start your trip.
