This is one of the most fascinating weblogs I’ve seen in a long time. The author, Kelly, is a 21-year-old Canadian who writes about her travels in Asia. As of April 4, she’s in Cambodia.
She writes about getting instructions on traveling from Thailand to Cambodia and the possibility of coming across landmines on the trip. Then there’s this part of one entry … “I got my Thai exit stamp and then was in No Man’s Land between Thailand and Cambodia. Here, people tried to grab my bag, arms and hair. Kids were holding up umbrellas, hoping I’d pay them for their service or buy a drink or just throw money at them.” You just don’t see posts like that everyday.
In addition to logging her adventures on her current trip, the site also has links to travelogs from her trips to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans as well as New York City (pre 9/11). There are also links to other travelogs, reviews of various hostels around the world and other travel-related writing.
She also has links to other essays, news articles and term papers she’s written on a variety of subjects.
The weblog itself is attractive and easy to navigate.
This is a unique weblog and I’m looking forward to reading about the rest of her trip and the insights she shares.
