If all people had the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world, very few will pass up the chance to do it.  Travel is a learning process that is entirely different from school learning and book reading.  However, if the option to travel physically is not open, what could be the next best thing?

Discovering different places through the Internet can address to a certain degree the desire of non-travelers to discover foreign lands they can only imagine.  Official tourism websites of each country are good sources of information and images.  Travel blogs can also provide more personal accounts of places since most, if not all, are based on actual experiences.

Travelers can attest to the fact that the general information offered by government agencies may not be exactly similar to that of actual experience.  This is why most would-be travelers are advised to check on feedbacks and comments in desired destinations so as to be forewarned of possible risks or be informed of must-see places.   However, readers are likewise reminded not to generalize a view based on a single isolated experience of an exasperated traveler. 

With regular viewing of online information, non-travelers may find themselves actually getting familiar with a place without physically seeing them.  Excellent travel writers have a way of describing a place to their readers that succeeds in transporting them to the place being described.  Our hunger for knowing distant places should not be hindered by physical limitation especially with the advances in technology being provided to us today.  A good way of whiling the time for aspiring travel bloggers is to present the very place where he/she is in.  They can find special places and activities that could be of interest to others.  By the time they are ready to leave home and discover other places, they will have gained the experience of telling travel stories.
