Travel and Volunteer Differently: Interview with Anna Etmanska
Anna Etmanska likes to do things a bit differently. While most of the world is off prefers such tried-and-true destinations as France, Italy or Thailand, Anna opts to spend her days in off-the-beaten track locations - like Bahrain, or far-north Sweden. And while many people are signing up for ready-made volunteer packages sold by voluntourism agencies, Anna likes to get out there and organise her own volunteer work.
In this interview, Anna talks about volunteering, writing, and her inspiration to travel.

Notes from the Road: Interview with Erik Gauger
Notes from the Road is a recent addition to TravelBlogs, but it's been around since 1999. The site combines Erik Gauger's stunning photography - shot on a traditional large-format film camera - with his engaging stories about ordinary places.
These days, the site is attracting quite a bit of attention, thanks in part to Erik's detailed coverage of a small Caribbean island's struggle with an American golf course developer.
TravelBlogs caught up with Erik to talk more about travel, photography and the Guana Cay conflict.
