Peregrine Online

I am migrating my travel blog to a site called Peregrine Online. I know, ironic, huh? Well, it seemed like the thing to do, putting it on its own domain.

I will be writing about the same sorts of things I always have, travel around Singapore, China, and other parts of Asia, as well as other spots I’ve been around the globe.

I’m adding in another section to the blog, which is more on life in Singapore and Shanghai, especially with tips for foreigners staying in one place or the other (I split my time between the two, though I was brought up in the US).

Hope you’ll stop by to see me there.

Silken’s places to go

If you’ve just tuned in, I am presently turning the spotlight on my blogging friend, silken.  I’m happy now to recommend her blog called Places to Go.  This is a unique sort of “travel blog.”  It is different from other travel blogs because silken doesn’t just talk about places she’s already been, but also about places she hasn’t been, but would like to go.  I think that’s pretty clever, really. I guess for everyone, there are more places we haven’t yet seen than there are places we’ve been.

Just look here what she says about Vienna, or here about Avebury.  You’ll find out about all sorts of places when you read through this blog.   I mean, I never even heard of the Museum of Hoaxes till I read about it on her blog.

Here, you can also find out about movies that talk about specific places, like what you see in her entry on an arctic tale.  (Do I see a theme here?  What’s all this about icebergs????)

Silken has a mind that is curious about its environment, one that would like to see and know more about this big world.  I like that.  In this blog, that mind really shines through.  And I like that too.  I think the choice to highlight places she hasn’t been shows that she’s a person who is always reaching out for new and intersting experiences.  That, I have to say, I love.

A New Blogger for You to Meet

There’s a new blogger in town. You might like to check out his new space and see what you think.

ValkrieANGEL has set up shop over at blogspot, and you might like popping in to see what he’s got going on. He writes about travel stuff (he’s a travel agent) and has some great photos along with his write ups. I think you’ll enjoy what he’s got going on. Stop in and take a look.
