Inside Travelog.net

This is the heart of Travelog.net; these are the stories of my travels.  This is a taste of what life is like on the road: what you see, hear, feel, taste, and smell, the excitement, the problems, the discoveries, the friendships, the hardships, the triumphs, the weird food and the strange toilets.

Thoughts, hints and tips on traveling, particularly focused on the "backpack traveler" style.  What does it take to spend a year traveling around the world?  What should I pack?  Where do I find the information I need?   What about health?  Can I drink the water?  Are the native friendly?  Does the taxi really cost that much?

How Travelog.net is produced with a ThinkPad 560 laptop and a Kodak DCS-120 digital camera.  Producing Travelog.net less about what technology is used, but how to  do the most with the least--and still have time to enjoy travel.

Photography and Travel are my two passions.   Luckily, they go together very well.  Here are a sample of the thousands of pictures I have taken over the last year to give you a sense of the visual richness of the places I have visited.

Links of interest to the backpack traveler, including links on backpack and budget travel, travelogues of other travelers, online travel information, travel health, travel photography and lots of other goodies.

Some background information about Travelog.net; how it was started and why the author subjected himself to publishing a web site while on the road.

I added a page of reader comments.  Thanks to all the  Travelog.net for all the kind words.

May 26, 1998.
I have updated the design.  Larger type and a softer background should make reading easier.  I also narrowed the main body to make it more readable for users with smaller (640x480) screens.  If you have a problem, let me know.
