Thursday Dedication: The Transcendental Tourist by AJ Poliquit

The Transcendental Tourist is a blog I have followed for quite a while, and it is to me one of the best blogs I have visited. AJ is an educator in the Philippines who travels through the south Pacific when school is out capturing the sights he visits in photos and words.

The blog is much more than a travel blog indeed. AJ travels into the soul of the places he visits and shares their rich history in beautiful prose and stunning images. One cannot help but feel inside and part of the stories.

Many of the stories are not simply about a location, but more about its history. AJ has revisited places that his family lived during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II and contrasted it with modern day life.

AJ is a brilliant young man, a brilliant writer and someone I admire very much.

The transcendental Tourist is well worth a visit and dig into the archives while you are ther. You’ll be glad you did.

I’m just saying…

RW Reed - If I Had A Blog

Simply put, If I Had a Blog is the place where I deposit what is on my mind. It is a sideways view of life that may not always be pretty, but usually pretty funny. The blog is a collection of stories new and old, observations from an overactive mind, feghoots and more. I see humor in most everything and like a child starving for attention I post it and drag you over to see what I have done :). Guest posts are encouraged as well.
