Welcome to a new series of travel posts – Arm Chair Travel.
Once a month I will bring to you a collection of travel posts written by my fellow travel bloggers that I really enjoyed reading.
So grab a cuppa (or wine 😉 ), sit back in your arm-chair, and join me as I show you what I discovered in the world of travel during January 2016.
For me one of the great delights of travel is the food.
Ruth from Tanama Tales is often showing off her gastronomic tours. This month she was Eating Tucson on a Food Tour.
Meanwhile Anda from Travel Notes and Beyond showed the Food Scene at Mercato Centrale in Florence.
The travel food posts are often like a photographic essay. I found more photo essays showcasing some destinations.
Lyndall from Sieze the Day Project has recently been providing some beautiful photographic journals of her travels around Italy. I particularly enjoyed joining her for A Stroll Around Siena.

Another photographic essay journey I have enjoyed was by Min from Write of the Middle where she showcased Highfield House Stanley from her Tasmanian adventures.

Though this month in travel wasn’t all just food and photos.
Michele from Malaysian Meanders took me on a fun Cattle Drive at Fort Worth Stockyards. Something I am sure my son would enjoy.

While Allane from Packing my Suitcase got me reminiscing about Egypt with her Day Trip to Luxor.

And finally if I got stuck in transit on the way to a holiday destination Linda from As We Saw It gave me a Layover Hack: How to Tour a City for Free.
Which is your favourite travel blog post from January?

What a great idea to dedicate a post to your favorites!!
Thank you sooo much for picking my post of Luxor, I’m really happy to know that you liked it 😀
So many other cool posts on your list!!
Thanks Allane, I really enjoyed a trip down memory lane with your Luxor day trip.
It’s hard to pick a favorite from all these posts, Sally-Ann (not counting mine, of course, lol) because they are all interesting. Lately I’ve been enjoying photo essays of places around the world and tips for how to get there affordably. Thanks for including my post in your round-up. Armchair travel is one of my favorite ways to escape everyday life.
Thanks for the hint on what to look for Linda – I will be on the lookout for some blog posts for travel on the cheap.
Thanks for mentioning my post on Siena Sally. I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Cheers 🙂
Pleasure Lyndall, I loved how you captured all those beautiful ornate features around Siena.
Thanks for including me in your new series! I appreciate it. I still have to read several posts form your list. Some good readings for tomorrow (no work!).
Pleasure Ruth – enjoy your weekend off.
Oh, reading this makes me want to head back on a plane to Bali! We ate so much great good in Japan and Bali…I’ve come back a little heavier but very very happy!
Glad to hear you had such a wonderful holiday Grace.
wow, what a great “best-of” post! I’ll be checking the one about Tasmania. It’s a destination that fascinates me. here’s to more travel in 2016!
I’m sure you’ll really enjoy Min’s Tasmanian series Eileen, she has showcased lots of interesting places.
They’re all good! Thanks for linking up with #wkendtravelinspiration!
Thank you Corinne, I thought so too 🙂
Thanks so much for including me in your highlights of arm chair travel. I’m always up for reading about food and imagining what things taste like. I do hope you and your son make it to Ft. Worth some day for some Texas size adventures.
I hope so Michele, there has been talk of a trip to the USA in a couple of years time. Hopefully it will come to fruition.
Well shoot – You’ve already picked out some of my recent favorites! Great list – I’ll have to go back and catch the few that I hadn’t already seen. Thanks for shining a light on them! #wkendtravelinspiration
Aah great minds think alike Rob 🙂
All of them sounds famiiar and most of the posts I’ve already read.
I agree, it does make you feel like you’ve traveled with them from the comforts of your own chair while you read their posts. :p
I hope you enjoy the few posts you missed.
