Audrey Scott and Daniel Noll left their home in Prague, Czechoslavakia in December, 2006 to travel the world and record their experiences. They explain the enigmatic name of their blog on their FAQ page and include extensive photo and video sections to supplement their written content. Audrey and Scott have traveled to many corners of the globe and visited places even we haven’t heard of.
The Good
Uncornered Market can best be described as an upmarket backpacker’s blog. Audrey and Daniel are two professionals who are not afraid to go where many others who like fine food and wine fear to tread. We especially enjoyed their sections on Central Asian locales, like their overland Journey from Turkmenistan to Tajikistan. The blog is brilliantly organized. While the couple has recorded their adventures in hundreds of places in words, photos and videos, the site remains clean and easily navigable. Their photos and videos are of a very high standard and have unusual content. Our personal favorite video asks the question, “Are the Penguins in Antarctica the Key to Happiness and Peace?“. After viewing the clip, we decided that, yes, perhaps they are.
The Bad
Honestly, we would just be trying to fill up space here to find anything bad about this blog. It is humorous and sensitive at the same time. It is professional yet personal. It even manages to be commercial without being overtly so. We are so pleased with how much this site has to offer.
