Travel-Oriented Homepages

ost personal homepages, frankly, impress us little. Of the thousands published, however, we find a few that are exceptional in content and design.

• TheTravelzine.com The diaries of a peripatetic pair of travelers, primarily to Europe. Travelogues aren't our cup of tea, normally, but you'll find these to be especially intelligent and useful.
• Life Is A Soft Adventure Our cyber friend hasn't been everywhere, but claims it's on his list.
• Gimmelwald and Cinque Terre As seen by a Swiss. (In English.)
• La Professora - Travel Bits and Tidbits The extensive homepages of a veteran of travels to Rome. A bit hard to navigate, but you'll be glad you visited.
• Hiking and Holiday Links Ton De Maagt has put together an interesting assortment of information and links -- mainly focused on hiking in Europe, but other good information as well.
• Where do we go from here? An iconoclastic set of travel pages about Europe with an emphasis on France.
• All Roads Lead to Rome has been kind enough to award recognition to our pages. You'll find an extensive range of information about Rome there.
• L and S's World of Gifts An unusually extensive colelction of gift items.
