Where travel stories come alive

The travelrag.com is a great platform for travel writing and photography
|
SNOWY SURROUNDINGS Iceland is one of the countries listed on the website
One life. No plan. Many
adventures. At thetravelrag.
com, contributors
take this motto
quite seriously.
Adventurers who've been
to some of the world's most
fascinating destinations
gather here to showcase
their travel writing and photography.
Their home page
features the latest articles
from across the globe and
are accompanied by photographs
and detailed reviews.
Most articles end with contact
information for prospective
tourists, links to
other sites that will give
them information on the
place and YouTube videos
related to the article.
The photographs, which
are sorted by continent, are
anything but amateurish
and are worth a look. Click
on the `Wallpapers' link for
free downloads of travel pictures
to use on your desktop.
In the section titled `Radio',
there is a list of audio
travel stories that you can
listen to.
In `Spotlight', you can select
a region and browse
through stories about its
history and politics or see
cities through the eyes of an
anxious first-time visitor. If
you want to submit content
or pictures, click on `Contribute
to TTR' but check
out their guidelines for submission
before you send in
your writing.
You can subscribe to the
free newsletter or RSS feeds
and share pages you like on
Facebook.
Like others of its kind, the
website isn't a comprehensive
online travel resource
as the content is user-generated
and is restricted to the
more well-known tourist
haunts.
It's more like a library for
leisure reading than an encyclopaedia
of information.
This means you might not
necessarily find reviews or
pictures of every destination
you look for and might
have to be the first one to
submit your travelogue for
future visitors to read.
