Wednesday Website of the Week: AFAR.com

Sure there are plenty of websites to book travel, learn about tourism destinations, and read travel reviews. AFAR is a different kind of website (and magazine) for travel fans. AFAR focuses on experiential, or immersive travel: rather than hopping out of the tour bus to take a quick picture of the pyramids, this site encourages long stays, allowing you to really experience the people and culture of the land you're visiting. I've never considered such a deep level of immersion on vacation, but this blog and magazine make it seem quite appealing.
