Titles are also quirky and grabbed our attention. Apart from the articles on Nordic cities that are simply captivating (as Sophie&#8217;s an Oslo resident), we found interesting a very rare collection of articles on Eastern European countries like \u2013 Bulgaria, Kosovo, Macedonia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Bad<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>With such a rich and valuable article set, we were expecting a better looking website to highlight them. We are disappointed that pictures to illustrate her articles are sparse, which is peculiar for a travel blog. \u00a0The Sophie&#8217;s World blog design definitely needs a lift!<\/p>\n<div id=\"social-essentials\" class=\"se_left\"><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"width:85px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/1-2\/sophies-world\/\" data-text=\"Sophie&#8217;s World Travel Blog | SophiesWorld.net\" data-via=\"pamela_jones\" data-counturl=\"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/1-2\/sophies-world\/\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-lang=\"en\">Tweet<\/a><\/div><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"width:72px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/1-2\/sophies-world\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"90\" show_faces=\"false\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"width:60px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><g:plusone size=\"medium\" href=\"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/1-2\/sophies-world\/\" count=\"true\"><\/g:plusone><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">#call_to_action h4{padding:0px 5px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Site: SophiesWorld.net Sophie is an experienced Norwegian travel writer, who blogs about wandering the world &#8220;mostly with kids, sometimes solo\u201d Many blog posts redirect to other websites where Sophie has been published (especially Matador and Trazzler) Superb collection of articles on less popular destinations in Europe, such as The Nordics\/Scandinavia Home and Travel Resources [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":525,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2415","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2415"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5628,"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2415\/revisions\/5628"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
