Long-Term Travel Websites

Shannon O'Donnell began traveling the world in 2008 and launched A Little Adrift as a way to share her journey. National Geographic named her Traveler of the Year for her work in responsible tourism. Her website evolved from a travelogue into a resource for travelers, offering stories, advice, and photography. She focuses on slow, local-level grassroots travel, connecting to cultures through respect and service, and providing practical advice for long-term travels. She is also a writer, speaker, and storyteller. Since 2018, she has lived in Barcelona, Spain.
