Travel Blog Stars: You Go Girl

We admire Lisa Lubin. Like Lisa, we studied journalism, and followed the expected trajectory: Moving to the proverbial big city, and landing a decent job in our chosen field. But we while we only travel occasionally, Lisa's is probably lounging in a Turkish bath as we type. Last August, she traded in her enviable life, found a baby-sitter for her cat, and set off to travel the world for a year. She chronicles her experiences on her blog, LL World Tour.

Lisa's background in TV production is evident in her site. We enjoy following her travels through the many photos, sound bites, video clips, and personal narrative she posts. Plus, she provides lots of little quick history lessons about the places she visits that make us think she might make an excellent 8th grade social studies teacher when she returns.

Is there a movement we didn't hear about? First, we discovered the Lost Girls, a trio of girlfriends touring the globe. Now Lisa took off solo for a round-the-world jaunt. Now all we need to do is save, oh, 20 grand or so, and join the pack.
