Around the world with 40 bloggers – Lonely Planet blog. In late 2008, Lonely Planet launched its experimental ‘Blogs We Like’ program. We picked our favourite bloggers around the world and featured their content on the Lonely Planet website. Since then, those bloggers have banded together to form a community of expertise, showcasing the best travel blogging has to offer. We are pleased to feature their ebook, Around the World with 40 Lonely Planet Bloggers, and to support them on their blogging journey.
Here’s what Todd Wassel, the book’s project manager, has to say: The concept is simple – put 40 experienced travel bloggers together, shake and see what pops out. This eclectic group, whose tales range across voluntourism, family travel, expat life, long term backpacking and more, was born out of Lonely Planet’s effort to broaden its content. Around the World with 40 Lonely Planet Bloggers is the first book produced by Lonely Planet’s ‘Blogs We Like’ program and introduces readers to the world of professional travel blogging.

Leaving Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve, via our Skagway Air flight out of Gustavus and back to Haines, proves every bit as eventful as our trip into the area, but for different reasons.
A weather front has settled into the area and we take off eye to eye with ominous skies. It doesn’t take long for us to run into enough turbulence to toss our small plane around like a rag doll. At one point the plane loses altitude so quickly and so drastically that we hit our heads on the ceiling even though we’ve ratcheted our seatbelts down tight.
But we survive the white knuckle trip (honestly, the pilot never even looked very bothered) and find ourselves in Haines once again. If you ever find yourself in Haines (which you should—it’s a charming place, more on that later), we recommend you settle into the Chilkat Eagle B&B. These are not trained performers—no bears on balls or anything horrible like that. But don’t take it from us. Actually, yes.
