UPDATE!

Recently, 40 of the Lonely Planet Featured Bloggers (including us) got together to contribute to a FREE e-book called “Around the World with 40 Lonely Planet Bloggers.” It debuted in May of 2011 and it’s full of travel inspiration. Whether you’re into epic road trips like ours or city travel or traveling with a family or budget backpacking or solo travel practically anywhere in the world there are seasoned, funny, smart, real experts in this book who will have you calling in those vacation days.

About the Lonely Planet Featured Bloggers Program…

A few years ago Lonely Planet had a good idea. Find an easy way to work with the best travel blogs out there to A) add fresh, new content to the LP site and B) help boost awareness about the greatest travel blogs on the web. So they created the new Featured  Blogger program.

Even better? Our Trans-Americas Journey blog was  accepted as a featured blog.  Our blog will continue to work the way it always has, only now the nearly 100 posts we’ve created and put up (so far) and all new blog posts going forward will also be found on the relevant pages of the massive Lonely Planet web site. For example, our latest post about Guadalajara is on our blog and on the Guadalajara page of the LP site. A beloved older post about wineries in Paso Robles, California is now also found on the Paso Robles page of the LP site.

Sure we hope this drives traffic to our blog  but we also hope that the addition of our content (and content from other Featured Bloggers) will enrich the amount of solid, current travel information out there enabling more people to hit their own road.
