One of the cool things about following the travel blogging vertical in my Google Reader is the timeless nature of it.
What do I mean?
Simple.
No matter where in the world I am, no matter what time it currently is –there is always something new to read (as long as it’s been 2-3 hours since I checked my Google Reader) in the “backpacking” portion of my Google Reader. Travel bloggers are located all over the globe, and work extremely weird hours in addition to the vastly different time zones they are in.
One thing is certain — the timeless nature of travel blogging doesn’t help my productivity. Certainly the fact that I can read about foreign lands everyday, many of which have amazing photos, makes me want to go visit those beautiful and exotic locations (read: $$ suck from my pocket).
Overall? I’m a fan.
