About Around the World "L"

Around the World "L" is the personal travel and life blog of Lillie Marshall, a Boston teacher, writer, artist and fitness fan. She launched the site in 2009 and has published more than 700 posts since then; the blog is nearing four million page views. Lillie writes first-person pieces from both solo and family trips and also covers lifestyle, education, language learning, and fitness. She runs two sister sites, TeachingTraveling and Drawings Of.... The site offers travel guides, photo essays, language and teaching resources, and workout and parenting tips, and posts are illustrated with vivid, experience-based photos.

A teacher's storytelling voice is the blog's secret sauce, brightening practical travel advice with classroom-ready clarity and a dash of zany charm. We enjoy long, personal how-to posts and reviews that really dig into logistics - think Alaska cruise photo essays, detailed packing and excursion guides, and hands-on fitness program writeups like BODi and Caroline Girvan. The writing is personable and thorough, often running long enough to cover nuance, and the site stays active with roughly a post a month. The mix of travel, parenting, education and fitness makes it feel like catching up with a well-traveled, very organized friend.
