These are personal sites that document travelers as they make their way
around the world. Most have many pictures, but many are also laced with
advice. At any rate, all seem to have travel stories that are of interest
(whether because of the trip, or the traveler). As I molded my ideas to
design this site out of other sites I saw,
so will I mold my ideas to design phase 2 out of these sites.
