Travel writer Rolf Potts just finished a Virtual Tour, doing numerous interviews all across the blogosphere, to celebrate the release of his new book Marco Polo Didn’t Go There: Stories and Revelations From One Decade as a Postmodern Travel Writer. There is loads of good stuff out there as a result. Here is a quick roundup:

-World Hum -Micheal Yessis gets into Rolf’s brain on the changes in travel writing over the past decade.

-Boots n’All - Rolf answers reader submitted questions.

-Nat Geo’s Intelligent Travel Blog - Rolf shares some of his travel photos

-Brave New Traveler - Rolf describes the commentary track in the book alongside an excerpt of the book describing backpacker culture.
