Travel off the Cuff - a social news site for travel
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I’ve often thought it would be great to have a social news site solely for travel and here it is Travel off the Cuff. On a social news network like Digg or Stumbleupon readers can submit articles that they like and members of the social news site can vote on the articles that they like. Articles with a lot of votes are listed near the top of the page. Travel off the Cuff’s founder, Mark writes a blog about his travel experiences for the site.
I like the ethos of the site that you can have a “great trip without having to plan every minute of the day”. Of course there is planning involved in putting together your trip. I believe that you should leave time for spontaneity and wandering around, not have an itinerary that is so crammed that you end not seeing anything properly as you dash around. I hope that the articles on the site will encourage this attitude to travelling.
I’ll be visiting Travel off the Cuff over the next few weeks to vote and comment on stories that appeal to me and submitting stories which I think deserve some publicity.

Thanks so much for writing about Travel off t he Cuff!! I’ve recently discovered travel blogs and am having a blast reading them - but I wasted so much time trying to find good ones!
I figure I’ve only got about five more weeks to read the blogs - we’ll be taking off in June to ride our bikes from Alaska to Argentina with our twin boys and the family dog!! Gotta get reading…
