Travel Blogs: 
Shares of the Week, April 20-26

Every day, I share a travel related post on my Facebook Page from either a fellow travel blogger who follows my page and interacts with me there, or from another Facebook travel blogger whom I subscribe to and read regularly. 

At the end of the week, I compile all 7 of my daily Facebook "Travel Blog Shares" into one blog post published here, with the intent of making good quality travel content easier to find and more accessible to my readers! 

Here are this week's shared posts!

Horsemeat? Hmmm... wonder if it tastes similar to deer, since they're lean too?
