For these next few posts, I’m taking a walk down memory lane. Early in our marriage, Eric & I lived in Delaware for a year & boy did we have some adventures! I kept notes & emails from that year, & it’s amazing to see how much my perspective of our experiences during that time has altered. The best example is of our experience in the town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, where we stayed at “the house of misery.”
It’s that time of year again, when Eric & I sit down to decide what country we want to visit next year. As mentioned in my previous post (Too Much Information!), we’ve been binge watching the History Channel’s Viking series, so we’re in the mood for some Nordic travel. After much research, we’ve narrowed it down to three locations: Norway, Faroe Islands or Novia Scotia. Each offers its own unique experiences & landscape, so it’s difficult to choose. So I thought I’d get YOUR opinion.
Sometimes I feel like I’m being buried alive by information.
As a librarian, research is at the heart of what I do all day. As a DIY travel enthusiast, it’s even worse! In the past your options for travel research consisted primarily of travel books, official tourism websites and travel agents. Now there are new travel blogs being added every day and travel apps are one of the hottest digital markets. Add to that Pinterest and Instagram, which are exploding with digitally altered photos that are designed to entice people like me to visit these “must see” places. How’s a girl to choose?
