Flightless from England to Japan: Interview with Steve James
In 2005, Steve James travelled the world for a year - the kind of journey many would consider a 'once in a lifetime experience'. For Steve, it was just the beginning.
After returning to his home in the UK for 18 months, Steve took off late last year on another adventure: an flightless trek from England to Japan.
TravelBlogs caught up with Steve to learn more about his current trip and his love for travel in general.
An Illustrator’s Travel Blog: Interview with Mike Smith
Since TravelBlogs launched in September last year, I've had the opportunity to discover many great travel blogs. Without fail, the bloggers behind these blogs have one key characteristic: they are all excellent storytellers.
Mike Smith is up there with the best, but his approach is unusual. A graphic designer and illustrator by trade, Mike decided the best way for him to share his travel tales was by doing what he does best: drawing. His blog, Blogshank, features illustrations he drew while travelling with his girlfriend from London to Singapore and through to New Zealand late last year.
In this interview with TravelBlogs, Mike shares why he decided to blog through illustrations and what the advantages and disadvantages of this approach are. He also tells us more about travelling overland through Europe, Asia and New Zealand.
