Parts of the Project
Articles “The Thirteen Best Online Travel Guides” -- all are free, but some have limited destinations. Yahoo Travel How to…Section has fascinating and quirky travel articles. My latest favorite is “9 Words That Don’t Exist in English But Perfectly Describe Your Travels.” 24 Best Travel Blogs and Websites 2014 -- The blog’s motto is “I Travel for the Quirk” and it is quirky. “The 50 Best Travel Websites” -- Many rare and unexpected ones, but ONE might be just the one you love. If you have a New York Times online subscription, nothing quite matches the online Travel Section of the Grey Lady. Not free. TETANUS (Tin Eared Tone Abatement Nerds of Upper Sunnyside) music festival trip, complete with cover letter, itinerary, and trip brochure -- Not my assignment, but one I could adapt. |
Guidebooks My personal favorites are the Eyewitness Travel Guides by DK. Online Trip Planner. While I love all the big Eyewitness books for an entire country, the Eyewitness Top 10 books are succinct and portable. And, yes, there are 309 specific titles available. Online Travel Guides

Just for Fun Girl Gone International -- My favorites are the 40 posters illustrating “I am a Girl Gone International because …” which are listed here. I am such a wannabee! MissAdventure -- Another witty, reflective world traveler. Independent Traveler -- Multiple contributions from helpful world travelers. Addicted to Travel List. |

My favorite way to start the project is with Travel Quotes (50+ PDF file). And, of course, since I am mostly an English teacher, my favorite quote is by St. Augustine: “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” I use a different quote each day as a Quick Write at the beginning of the hour, or as a journal entry. I also ask students to find and share a favorite travel quote as an illustrated poster. Versions of Illustrated St. Augustine Quote Selected illustrated travel quotes. “25 Great Travel Quotes for Inspiring Global Adventures” -- Beautifully illustrated already. Rough Guides also has a Gallery of 50 illustrated quotations. |
HMS Store Window in Mannheim, Germany. Found art! Where I least expected it. |
