Sole Sisters (http://www.wearesolesisters.com)
Two work buddies quit their jobs in order to travel through the ins and outs of Southeast Asia before hitting 30. They chronicled their journeys, saved up for their “escape fund” and spent half a year hitting unexplored spots and places many of us only dream of visiting. Years later, Sole Sisters is home to a fun blend of travel bloggers who not only give practical tips for those seeking inspiration, but also provide beautiful visuals and prose to whet everyone’s travel appetites.
