21 Travel Tumblrs for Jet-Setters

"Two blogs diverged in a Dashboard, and sorry I could not follow both..." or something like that is probably what Robert Frost would say if he were here to see the 21st century traveler.

Today, it does not cost a dime to travel across the globe -- at least it doesn't when you're living vicariously through adventurers online.

Travel documentary is a popular way for users to share their excursions with those who can't make it, or are planning their own big trip. Tumblr is a great platform for jet setters, because it's easy to snap a pic and post on-the-go with your phone. If you're looking for a taste of new culture, seek no further than a couple of new follows on your Dashboard.

These 21 flat-footed bloggers will leave you scraping your piggy bank for adventure. Take a trip around the world by plane, VW bus or simply scroll along.
