Three Travel Bites of the Week

Happy Friday! Here are Three Travel Bites of the Week:

1. Still looking for supplies for your next trip? The Road Forks is running a $60 CSN Stores Giveaway. To win, you can pick any travel item you would like to win and then leave a comment on The Road Forks blog. You can also tweet your heart away about the giveaway or become a follower of The Road Forks Facebook page for even more chances to win. So that’s three quick and easy ways to get ready for your trip for free! Contest ends August 13, 2010.

2. We all have at least the tiniest urge to just leave school or jobs behind to travel the world. Whether you have lived the RTW dream or planning to, Travel Blog Exchange wants to give you the forum to get all nostalgic or start planning. Inspired by the book and film “Eat Pray Love”, “Meet, Plan, Go” is a nationwide event happening in 13 cities on September, 14, 2010 and it will give travelers the chance to meet and discuss previous and impending trips. It’s the perfect way to gather advice, get inspired, and actually make the dream come true.

3. Pamela from Spunky Girl Monologues wants you to share your travel fetishes. It’s a quirky project that deserves your attention. We always talk about the magic and beauty of travel but we all have these little habits, if you will, that make the journey that much more unique. Head on over to Pamela’s blog and leave your travel fetishes for an upcoming post.
