Here’s this week’s:

• Lace up your boots, and hit the trail…in Oman! Check out one blogger’s take on her three-day hiking trip through the Al Hajar mountain range. Highlights include “Oman’s Grand Canyon” and inhaling the sweet scent of roses along the way. @ottsworld
• On the hunt for the ultimate literary adventure? Head to England to explore the places that produced — and inspired — the beautiful minds that gave us Falstaff, the Wife of Bath, Emma, and Peter Pan. And all within a two-hour’s drive from London. @BohemianTrails
• If you’re a diving enthusiast, pack your bags for Bali and make room for a side trip to Tulamben while you’re there. The Liberty wreck site is one of the best dive sites in Indonesia (it’s great for snorkeling, too, as it’s located in fairly shallow water just off shore). A Couple on the Road
• If you think long-term travel is only for the incredibly wealthy or the really lucky, think again. Here’s one travel blogger’s guide to breaking into the “travel as a lifestyle” game — with all the good and the bad that come with it. @yTravelBlog
• Brainstorming ideas for your next big trip? Don’t count out Canada. A guest blogger for As We Travel brings us four compelling (and somewhat surprising) reasons to visit Montreal this summer. @AsWeTravel
