''I also want to say that one doesn't really need to go too far. Even at home you still can write about many great things and show them to the world.''
Yep!
Learning What Counts Downtown Seattle
I enjoy reading blogs from locals as they offers a unique perspective and depth of understanding that can often be absent or omitted from out-of-towners, by very nature of the cross-cultural interchange taking place.
I've blogged and traveled almost exclusively from within my home country, and have even had some great 'travel moments' within my own city limits. Even though I'm incredibly motivated and excited to see the rest of the world (trip plans in the works!) I have often been incredibly disappointed with the attitude that one needs to travel across an ocean in order to obtain new and fantastic experiences, sights, smells and communities (most American travelers I meet have been or plan to go to Europe, but many haven't been to their neighboring state even though there is a staggering amount of diversity within the boarders).
Travel can be very much a state of mind. How long does one live in a foreign country or city before it becomes familiar and "home"? I certainly wouldn't argue with someone studying abroad who says they're traveling, yet they aren't necessarily on the move either.

This is a blog about the area my appartment in Dublin is in, near the Guinness brewery. I used to live there, and still stay there most times I visit Dublin.
Reply to this Stephanie & Andras---Very good post---I tend to agree about "local" travels, even though I have been in a great many countires---traveling "at home" I always find something interesting.
