53 Places to Go in 2008

Posted in Travel Articles by TravelDude on April 20, 2008

While setting up Google Adsense on the blog I saw an advertisement titled “53 Places to Go in 2008″! Interested in the ad in hopes of getting some new ideas for future places I could travel too, I decided to click on the Adsense ad to see what places were listed. Out of the 53 places listed there were quite a few that really interested me including Laos, Vietnam, and Italy; but to be honest, many of the places I never really heard about or had the slightest inkling of ever visiting in my lifetime.

Since this travel blog is just starting out and I haven’t traveled anywhere to post pictures and write about, I decided it would be a good idea to do some research on some of the places listed in the article and make some review posts about some of the various travel destinations! Hopefully, these future posts will help jump start the project into full-speed, provide some interesting articles for readers, and give me some ideas of where I would like to travel!
