My Favorite Travel Sites

Since I don't usually depend on guidebooks for travel info, I'm constantly scouring the internet for cool websites or articles on things to do and see that are specific to my personal areas of interest. It is generally a pretty exhausting process, but (just so that I don't entirely turn you off of it) it does more often than not pay out in the end and helps me to get especially excited for my trip. Here are some of my favorite links.
