I hope everyone is enjoying Fall as much as I am. I’ve been filling my days lately with autumn walks, Oktoberfests and a lovely weekend trip up to New York to see some college friends. Look for  write up of my time up there in the near future as well as some really interesting guest posts.

In the meantime, here are some great links from the last two weeks:

• How Can I Convince my Friends to Travel Overseas?- The great Rolf Potts explains that not everyone has wanderlust in their blood.

• America: The No Vacation Nation- 1/3 of all Americans don’t take all of their vacation time. Nora Dunn from The Professional Hobo explores what sets the US apart when it comes to leisure time.

• You’ll Never Be Philosophically Fulfilled (and That’s Okay)- Excellent post by Colin Wright on why you will never get it exactly right (check out my quote!).

• International Volunteering: 5 Steps to Finding a Fit- A Guest post by Kelly Newsome on the Lost Girls on how to find the right volunteer organization for you.

• Least Favorite Places- Travel Twitterers share the least favorite places they’ve visited.

• Ten Reasons to Travel Alone- I couldn’t say it any better than Keith at Velvet Escape does.

• Inspiring Travel Monthly Round-Up (October Edition)- If you still need some reading material check out Andy Hayes collection of great travel articles from the past month (including one from yours truly)!

By the way, if you follow me on Twitter you can get the first scoop on all these articles in real time.
