Travelogues

One of the best sources for information on travel is the journal or travelogue of someone who has recently been out on the road. While these adventures are usually quite entertaining, they also tend to provide very helpful information on what should and shouldn't be done in certain situations. These travelers often write for themselves, and for that reason, they offer a very realistic, personal, first hand account of experiences.
