2009 Weblog Awards (the Bloggies).

Voters selected Without Baggage as one of the Internet's top five travel blogs in the 2009 Weblog Awards (the Bloggies).

The Guardian.

The illustrious editors of The Guardian, one of the UK's biggest newspapers, designated Without Baggage as one of their favorite six travel blogs.

DivineCaroline's Love! This Site Awards.

DivineCaroline chose Without Baggage as one of the Internet's top ten travel blogs two years in a row in their 2008 and 2009 Love! This Site Awards.

"A traveler's online magazine with brains and heart." Without Baggage "delves into the world's interesting places with a sense of purpose. The essays posted every so often evoke emotions and intellectual pursuits that aim to explore the depth and meaning of travel experiences whether one heads to Laos or Alaska."

BestHike.com.

"Superb hiking 'essays'... more akin to magazine articles than trip reports... one of my favourite sites... I instantly subscribed to Without Baggage. And recommend you do too."

Sierra Blogging Post.

"A fantastic resource for backpacking essays and photos. You can expect to want to take many treks after visiting the Without Baggage site. Leukart, a freelance journalist and television producer, is a great writer and not a bad photographer either. His skills, combined with his extensive travel experience and seeming fearlessness, create an engaging travel website. You simply must check it out."

The Kindle Blog Report.

"This is an excellent blog, well written. The author writes of places most of us armchair travelers would love to visit."

Dohop.com.

"Good for backpackers and others who like to travel without baggage (or with limited baggage), all presented in a layout refreshingly like one of those old-fashioned paper publications we used to read before the web came along."

Go Green Travel Green.

"One of my favorite things while reading blogs is when the author reveals something about himself/herself that leaves you wanting to learn just a little bit more about them. You get a true sense of the author's voice..." Without Baggage is a "great travel blog where the author's voice really comes through."
