RIGA – It’s time to update that good ol’ blogroll.
Baltic Visitor is a blog of travel tips for those who are traveling through the three different Baltic countries. The blog’s author is John Oates, a freelance travel writer, who is currently working on a guide to the Baltic States for a major UK publisher. “He is a former winner of the Guardian Young Travel Writer of the Year Award (for an article on Lithuania), and has written for publications including The London Paper and Global magazine.” BV was kind enough to link to this blog and it’s only appropriate to return the favor.
AB.PHOTO.LATVIA is a photolog stuffed with plenty of visual goodness from this small country of ours.
Ivan v. Jaan is a Russia-centered Estonian blog on politics. You’ve got to keep taps on your enemies, you know.
Baltic Bulletin comes from the mind of Mike Collier, the editor of Baltic Features, a one-stop shop for all your feature needs anywhere in the Baltics. The Baltic Bits entries are a must read, really.
Morten Hansen, an economics professor at Stockholm School of Economics in Riga has been blogging about Latvia’s economy on L-Diena Web site, leaving Latvians scratching their heads. Why does a Danish professor write in English on a Latvian web site? With rising inflation and bursting economy, it’s a shame not to read the Great Dane’s musings.
Hi Aleks, thanks for linking to Baltic Visitor. It was the high point of a bad blogging day – I updated a plugin and it took the whole site down for the several hours before I noticed…
My blogging has been a bit erratic lately, but I’m feeling newly enthused so thanks for sending a few people my way (I’ve already had a couple of people click through). I’ll definitely check out the other links you have in your post too.
I would know a lot about being an erratic blogger. Take a look at the gaps between posts
As you could tell, am trying to get back into the groove of a daily update. It’s been good so far.
Thanks for linking to this site, John, by the way. Am glad you enjoyed my huffing and puffing over a bus journey to Ventspils late summer.
Keep up the good work though. There are tons of good stories in the Baltics. Good luck with your book.
