Welcome to The Longest Way Home Travel Blog: New Reader tour!
by Dave from The Longest Way Home ~ March 5th, 2010. Published in: Subscribers Only!.A subscribers only update to The Longest Way Home Travel Blog.

Welcome note: The response to the 5 Top Places to Travel & Photograph e-book has been exceptionally good, with many new members signing up. So much so that I felt it proper to send out an overview of this website for those who’ve recently come on board to join me on this journey.
If this the first time you are getting a journal update, then Welcome on board! This is a subscriber only update, just for you!
About me: I have been traveling around the world for over 6 years in search of home. I started this site as just something personal, but my journey’s gained a lot of interest, popularity and press due to a number of factors.
How I write
I write in a frank and open way about a tale of breaking free and reaching out to grasp a dream. It’s something millions of people around the world also dream and aspire to do. I just happen to be writing about it online.
Combine with that my travel photography, travel resources for everyone, and stories about real people I meet on the way; and you get this …
- the website is my desk for writing my journals about my journey (Travel blog)
- a wall for hanging my photographs (Travel Photography)
- an open travel resource center to share what I’ve learned about travel with others (travel resources),
- a place to tell you about the people I’ve met that not many tourists get to see (travel stories).
- you can find out a lot more on my about page
My Blog / Travel Journals:
You’ve joined The Longest Way Home at a really interesting time! Currently I usually publish a journal update on my progress, and journey once or twice a week. However, at the moment, I am including a few open commentary articles on the world of travel, living overseas and the changing of world cultures.
You can find a lot more of my Seeing the Unseen articles on my travel stories. These focus on people very few travelers/people get to see.

Trekking in Nepal
I also run another series called Great Food from Around the World. Here I write-up a short entry and photograph on a dish from where I am currently traveling that most travelers can get easy access to. They usually taste really good too!

I just subscribed to your blog after reading your interview with Wade at Vagabond. I’m glad to have discovered you website.
Please forgive me though, I do have one criticism. For me to read white on black is hard to do. I’m not sure why some bloggers do this, but it’s annoying. Sorry.
But of course, it’s your blog, and I’ll tell me for you: “Michael, you can kiss my a…:-)”
-Michael Crosby- Hi Mike, & welcome onboard.
Glad to hear you found this site from Wade’s great vagabond journey!
No need for forgiveness, you’re more than welcome to always give your honest opinions here. Not sure where the white on black is coming from though, as last I checked it’s a sort of burnt orange on black. I choose that color as I too hate reading white on black too, leaves white lines in my eyes! The black background works for the photos.
Anyway, if even the “burnt orange” doesn’t do it for you then have a look at this page Where everything is black on white. But as you now subscribe (thank you) you’ll be getting everything black on white now too.
So for today, there’s no need to kick your a …
