This week’s Blog of the World definitely shows a new side of life in the USA.

Olivia, Nathan and their son Tristan are on a road trip around the USA in their RV (motorhome for those of us not fluent in American!). They are web designers, so they can work from anywhere that has an internet connection.

The family set off from Pittsburgh in August and are currently in Austin, Texas. When mum and dad are not coding they are busy homeschooling Tristan, who is 7 years old.

Tumblewagon is the story of their adventures. As you would expect from a pair of tech-friendly web designers, this is no ordinary words and pictures blog - there are also video and podcast entries.

This blog is a true cross-cultural adventure, written by two people from different countries who have never met. Sarah lives in Seattle, USA and Valentina is Italian but lives in Marseille, France.

In Franglish, Sarah and Valentina take turns to publish a letter to the other one about what’s going on in their lives. The project started in April 2008 and they will exchange letters via their blog for one year.

UPDATE (July 2009) Coastal Commentaries is no longer available. To read more on life in the USA try our other listed USA blogs.

In Coastal Commentaries Lala writes frequent updates from Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA. It’s a new blog but there’s already plenty to read about life on the East Coast.

One of the things she often points out about life in Cape Canaveral is that nobody seems to be originally from there. This applies to Lala as well - she grew up in the land-locked South.

Otherwise, it’s a relaxing read about life by the sea, with walks along the beach, trips to local restaurants and discovering the Florida State food Conch fritters.
