Travel Guides:
- Go! Girl Guides: a fairly new blog written by women, for women with an emphasis on solo travel
- Wikitravel: A great starting point for any travel planning
- Lonely Planet: An endless source of inspiration for travel planning and "mental holidays" via Internet. One of the better "mainstream" options. I especially enjoy following them on Twitter for access to interesting articles about destinations, tips, and personal experiences.

- IE Languages: A personal favorite for all things related to language learning and culture with an emphasis on French and France. Also an AMAZING resource for anyone planning to apply for the CIEP Teaching Assistants program in France.
