Inspiring Travel – March Monthly Roundup

March 9th, 2010 by Andy Hayes

While you might be dealing with the continued bad weather (blizzards, monsoons, and earthquakes anyone?), these fantastic travel articles in our monthly roundup will surely provide you a bit of a bright spot and something to look forward to.

How appropriate to start with a piece from Correr Es Mi Destino about ice fields and icebergs. This article has you hooked from the first sentence: Do you have any idea how loud is the sound of a huge chunk of ice falling into the frozen waters? Check it out.

January 4th, 2010 by Andy Hayes

Welcome to to the New Year and to our first inspiring travel roundup of 2010!  It seems like as good of a place as any, as everyone is busy thinking about their New Year’s resolutions.  Hopefully something will inspire you in this list of great articles and stories.  I think this month the theme is, undoubtedly, reflection.  You’ll see why. Grab a hot beverage, sit back and enjoy!

We start off this month with a party – literally, as we check out photos from the Samba De Janeiro – just look at all the crazy stuff going on in the shot below – thanks for sharing, Zhu.

Inspiring Travel Monthly Roundup – Christmas Edition

December 7th, 2009 by Andy Hayes

Hard to believe it’s our last inspiring travel monthly roundup for 2009! It’s been a great year here at STE with tons of great folk coming through via the roundup. We close out the year on a strong note; there’s plenty of surprises and a few wee presents for you below. This month’s theme? Photography, it seems. Some killer photographs in nearly every link.

We start off this month visiting our good friend Shannon on her post on a wee bit of Irish hospitality. Ireland is renounced for its warmth and friendliness, so be sure check out Shannon’s take on it.

Inspring Travel Monthly Roundup – October Edition

October 4th, 2009 by Andy Hayes

A small tweak to your otherwise monthly blast of travel goodness:  we’ve tweaked the name!  Those of you in the blogging ‘circle’ as it were are familiar with the term “carnival” but we want to make a seat at the table for our good friends who are technophobes and just come to join us for the armchair adventures.  So we’re no longer a carnival – we’re a monthly roundup.  Same great stuff with a more friendly name.  Sound good?  Excellent.  Let’s get this show on the road.

I have to say I am very pleased with the efforts of the guys who sponsor the submission form – we’re only getting clean, quality links now, which makes it a lot easier to read through the amazing entries.


First up is this great post from the Q Family – Dreaming of Sand, Sun, and Surf. It’s part of a fantastic new series they are calling Mondays are for Dreaming. AMEN! And with that I leave you this little gem of a photo to dream over…

Inspiring Travel Monthly Roundup – September Edition

September 6th, 2009 by Andy Hayes

Hard to believe another month has gone and we find ourselves at blog roundup time. I’m hearing from my travelling friends across the world and it seems many of us are off having some fantastic adventures.

This month’s roundup theme appears to be the “roam the world” edition. We’ve got tips and inspiration from all corners of the earth. So go forth, read, and be inspired.


We start this month with the Global Guru’s Ditch the Routine – Get out there and explore. Fantastic article – what really bought it home for was the caption below the photo below, which was get out there and see the world through the eyes of a child again. How many of us need to do that? Thanks for sharing, Philip.

Inspiring Travel Monthly Roundup – August Edition

August 9th, 2009 by Andy Hayes

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time again – time for the inspiring travel monthly roundup.  It’s been a busy summer, both socially here in Edinburgh as well as on the articles – tons of great discussions and commentary ongoing.

This month appears to be the experience edition. Very fitting for the blog, no doubt, but this month (as it is nature that a theme emerges, unannounced, as you know) it seems that we have so many travel trips as experiences. So cool. Thank you, fellow writers. I am blessed.

Inspiring Travel Monthly Roundup – July Edition

July 5th, 2009 by Andy Hayes

I know last week I said I would continue the list of travel alternatives theme today but I forgot all about the monthly roundup! We’ll pick back up next Sunday.

Wow, the roundup continues to be quite popular with more and more interesting posts every month. I never cease to wonder how these different themes emerge. This month is the “off the beaten path” edition. I’m sure you’ll see why.


Oour first post is from Shannon who regales us with her efforts to find nirvana during an intense meditation course in Nepal. Serious and hysterical at the same time – nice work, Shannon.
