Researching places with TravelPod
When searching Google for places like Joao Pessoa in Brazil you’re going to end up with a lot of links, many of which will be irrelevant for travel purposes. It’s hard to find accounts of people who have actually visited the place. One of the nice features about the TravelPod site is its search engine and the way that entries are displayed on each blog. When you go to the “home page” of each TravelPod blog, click on the entries tab and you’ll be given a nice map of the person’s travel, the text of the blog entry itself, and at the bottom of each entry is a table of contents that lists of each city that they visited. This listing makes it easy to browse locations and read about the person’s experience in that place. The map is also pretty cool!
