The web's best travel blogsThe web's best travel blogsThe web's best travel blogs
Millions of blogs are now kept by professional, amateur, and aspiring writers. Listing every travel blog ever written proves too inclusive to be helpful or useful, however, selecting too few blogs ignores the diversity and tastes of each traveler. Thus, we weed out the blogs that are not regularly updated or recent. We carefully select a variety of perspectives with great content. Our bloggers are witty, fresh, cynical, amusing and always informative. They highlight information and tips that dont always make it into guidebooks. The blogs featured on Travel Onion can be trusted as the main avenue for inside information from local experts, for up-to-the-minute reviews and recommendations, and for events and exhibits happening right now. The blogs are for both travelers and locals looking to take advantage of the places, events and sites their hometown has to offer.
Many of the best travel related blogs have catchy names that do not always refer to the city they cover. Metrocurean could be a food blog about any metropolitan area (it's a delicious food-centric blog about Washington, DC) and Spoonfed could be a food blog (it's actually London's best events blog). Some of our blogs put you in touch with local voices when you don't have any contacts. Tokyobling, for example, is that friend who knows everything about Tokyo. These same local voices often know the best sites to go to for information, but only a local New Yorker (or New York restaurant aficionado) would know that NY Mag's Grub Street is the best resource for restaurant reviews. Other blogs provide a unique perspective on the city and its culture that you may have otherwise missed. These perspectives certainly enhance a travel experience, but you would be hard-pressed to find Stuff Parisians Like when collecting travel resources for a trip to Paris. All of the blogs featured here on Travel Onion are the creme de la creme of their kind.

Well, naturally we think we're awesome, but it's nice to see that others are picking up on the idea that DC Like a Local is a great source of information for those that wish to get more out of their visit to Washington, DC.
