Sophie's World

Verified

Anne-Sophie Redisch is a bilingual freelance writer based in Norway. Born
with restless feet, she loves hopping off a train in a new city. This has
brought her to more than 100 countries and six continents so far. Her two
daughters increasingly insist on coming along to enliven the travel
experience. Antarctica must therefore remain a dream until her youngest
reaches the minimum age-limit required by the expedition companies (not long
now).

Hole In The Donut Travels

Verified

After years of working at jobs that paid the bills but brought no joy,
Barbara Weibel walked away from corporate life in 2007 to pursue her true
passions of writing, photography, and travel. She backpacked around the
world solo for six months, blogging about her journey through Southeast
Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Africa, and Europe. Since
returning, she has continued to travel extensively and write about a
lifetime of travel experiences on her blog, http://holeinthedonut.com, as
well as in other regional and national travel publications. Although not
opposed to visiting the most popular tourist destinations, Weibel has an
obvious preference for off the beaten track destinations of great beauty
that uplift the spirit and restore the soul, and immersion into local
culture is always an important element in her travels. Currently, Weibel is
midway through a four-month backpacking trip around Mexico and Central
America, which will be followed by a five-month journey through Asia
beginning in the fall of 2010.

Uncommon Travel

Verified

I used to think travel would be an escape of sorts. It isn't. Wherever
I go there I am. So, no, it's no escape from life. More of a headlong
dive into it. The more I see, the more astonished I am, fascinated and
sometimes overwhelmed. I'm constantly reminded how life is lived in
infinite different ways. Blows open my big picture. Reconfigures the
way my mind works and the way my heart feels.

Backpacking on the Cheap

Verified

I am an Aussie backpacker who has been traveling the world since January
2009. I got bored with my safe, well paying but ultimately unfullfilling 9-5
job and wanted to explore life more. I felt like there must be more to life than just fitting into the neatly
constructed box society had made for me. So I decided to travel the world,
challenge myself, and grow as a person as I come into contact with different
cultures and different ways of existing. To do all this however, I need money and to know how to save it. I have
developed a very keen sense for finding the bargains, and stretching my
money as far as it will go. Enjoy :)

The Hussainity Defense

Verified

I'm a former child actress-turned lawyer-turned nonprofit director based
in New York City, and I was laid off in the summer of 2009. I refused to let
life's inertia take control, so I hit the road to re-discover the things I
loved and lost along the way to my upwardly mobile career. So perhaps some
soul searching, definitely some fun. A few people might think what I'm doing
is total insanity. I like to call it Hussainity.

achieving one's dreams on a limited budget and share it with other
like-minded would be travelers so that they can see the world that they have
only dreamed about. Her goal? To make people realize that travel is for
everyone, not a select, privileged few.
