Top Travel Links Blogs for Pimsleur

Every month, we write a blog post for Pimsleur Approach listing the best travel stuff on the web. We call it Top Travel Links. These pieces showcase the best travel articles, news and events, pictures, videos and more from the previous month in a range of publications around the world. Here is a short extract from the latest in a long line of round-ups…
 

APRIL’S TOP TRAVEL LINKS

Is travel a bad idea? Wildlife photographer Paul Souders says it can be. He tells the Mother Nature Network all about his life and career, in which he jets around the world, takes photos and gets paid. That must be awful!

William L Sullivan, on the other hand doesn’t do the world, but what he doesn’t know about hiking around Oregon isn’t worth a damn. And now he’s planning a book tour.

It’s April, so why, you may be wondering, is the word “Santa” approaching rapidly? Simple. Semana Santa (there it is) is Spanish for Easter. Read all about it on About.com. The always-wonderful National Geographic has a list of 10 things to do before April dies – and, unlike us, who will have done it three times by the end of this sentence, it doesn’t mention Santa at all.

Closer to home, it’s Patriots’ Day on April 21. Head to the National Park Service website for a list of events. Meanwhile, British journalist and photographer Lee Howard followed in the footsteps of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler on the Gone with the Wind Trail.

 
You can read the whole of the April’s Top Travel Links blog on the Pimsleur Approach website. Alternatively, check out the rest of 2014’s Top Travel Links blogs so far here and here – or delve even further back into the archives here.

Hidden Puglia and Magical Morocco

puglia“Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, is a visual and culinary feast, a place to sooth your soul while discovering this new and delightful area of Italy. The Adriatic, with colors from lapis to turquoise, ribbons along its eastern coast, groves of ancient gray-green olive trees stretch to the horizon, and row upon tailored row of grape vines are draped across all of the region’s gently rolling hills…”

This is the beginning of our spanking new ‘Hidden Puglia’ itinerary for Unique Backroad Journeys. We have previously completed another itinerary, ‘Magical Morocco’. You can read the Puglia guide here, and the Morocco guide here.
