San Luis Obispo, CA (PRWeb) January 10, 2007 -- Recently launched web
site TravelVoyeur.com brings to the web real-life travel videos made by
non-professionals so people anywhere in the world can view popular and
interesting destinations in their raw and unpolished beauty. Web
surfers can preview potential vacation spots, or simply become a
"virtual tourist," taking a new trip each day.

Rather than commercial travel videos, TravelVoyeur.com visitors are
instead treated daily to amateur camcorder videos, which are more
revealing, useful and certainly entertaining. The footage is a raw and
often very personal portrayal of one's trip or homeland.

Recent videos include a hike up Yosemite's beautiful Half Dome
Mountain, parasailing over Rio de Janeiro, a ten minute tour of
Bangkok, Thailand, a casual look of Capri, Italy, an Amsterdam canal
boat tour and a UAE citizen's view of the incredible city of Dubai.

The videos are handpicked from the thousands of uploads made to
YouTube.com and other video-based social networking sites, and posted
with commentary. Viewers are encouraged to comment on each video.

"I've always found professional travel videos a bit disingenuous. It's
just all too sugar-coated for me. With TravelVoyeur.com one can visit
worldwide destinations vicariously, through the eyes of everyday
people, seeing life as it really is," comments founder Mark Fleming.
