In no particular order, here are some of the best narratives, visuals and memoirs from travelers who take you right where they've been.

Fevered Mutterings by Mike Sowden 

Sowden writes mostly of European travels, but his witty, dry sense of humor-decidedly British in tone-is bitingly humorous, and makes for a good read. Just check out the headings across his page, labeled, "The Least Worst of Fevered Mutterings," "The Everyday," and "Lunacy". Pick any articles from those criteria and a rollicking good time is in store.

My View From the Middle Seat by Christina 

Christina, (no last name given on her site,) is a poignant scribe with a not-so-covert love of New York City. Every place she writes about seems like the first time she's ever experienced it, even if she's been there a handful of times. She refers to everything with such wonder, a slight naivete, child-like eyes. It's like traveling as a kid again.

Digital Nomad by Andrew Evans

Evans is as his name lets on, a constant nomad. He's always on the go, an unwavering traveler. His coverage is always expansive, detailed. He has an eye for the weird, the uncanny-the things that hide in slight corners. His current trip is in Texas, and although one might not assume this destination a particularly exotic one, Evans makes it come alive. Read his post on "The Best Barbecue in Texas," but not while hungry.

Our Tasty Travels

Speaking of hunger, one site that will surely get your mouth watering is "Our Tasty Travels: Tasting the World...One Country at a Time". Run by a couple who now live in Taiwan, a country known for its various delicacies and special cuisine-with a penchant for beers and wine, these two know their stuff. They don't limit themselves, either: from chili crab in Singapore to Johnny Cakes in Belize, their adventures through food are seemingly unending.
