The Good
It’s not easy to find something unique in the travel blogosphere. We were pleasantly surprised to discover this apparently simple blog, has journalistic content not often found in independent blogs. We found intriguing photo-journals of the destinations she discovered, with a focus on the local street culture and art rather than the classic postcard entires we find on most travel blogs.
The Bad
We didn’t find too much at fault on the Lonely Girl Travel’s blog, other than the overall blog design is a bit mundane. Lonely Girl Travels blog hides a highly valuable collection of travel articles behind a simple WordPress theme, which stands to be livened up a bit.
