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?
