I am trying to find some sort of travel site that focuses specifically
on well-written personal travelogues / travel diaries... either a
resource that hosts them or links to them, and in large quantities.
The problem is that I HAVE found travelogues through Internet searches,
but it is time consuming as you really have to dig through a mess of
commercial links, travel tips, and travel summaries that I wouldn't
consider "travelogues".

The closest I've found is virtualtourist.com, but it does not
cater to any kind of travel diary format and seems to be a
massive bulletin board of photos and travel notes... not very
immersing.

Some examples of the kind of stuff I'm looking for:

  http://members.cts.com/crash/m/mfm/transam_daybyday.html
  http://www.danklarmann.com/Sep2001/journal.htm

Any good leads?

Clarification of Question by mjsmigel-ga on 29 Oct 2002 15:16 PST

I want to clarify and emphasize that many of the sites I turn up which
do claim to have travelogues actually are carrying "photo albums" and
tersely-written travel summaries.  This isn't what I am looking for.
I want stories, diaries, impressions, and so forth, and feel that I'm
actually along for the ride.  Not many travel writeups can do this!

I realize that the content of a lot of sites is going to be very diverse in
nature, so I will settle for "best site" recommendations.  Thank you!

Request for Question Clarification by errol-ga on 04 Nov 2002 03:25 PST

Is there any part of the world you would like to know about in
particular, or all over?

Lonely Planet has a large collection of Travelogues at
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/subwwway/links.cfm?categoryID=3#2

Travel Journals at http://www.traveljournals.net/ hosts a large amount
of them too.

Hope these help!
