No, not really. All we can do is advise you on proposals and point you in the direction of where you can find the information about agents. If you read through this forum (and get actively involved in AW), you'll find all the resources you need to write a query letter and proposal.

To sort of answer your question, querytracker is one of the best sources for legitimate agents. There you'll find a great database and tracking system for agents that represent both fiction and nonfiction. It's up to you to find the right one.

I'm in the same place Ric's. I've traveled all over the world and have written up most of my adventures as little travel log's but I don't know where to send them either.

Rics, it sounds like this would fit nicely in the Travel Essay category, so I suggest you check the Acknowledgments pages of books of the same genre - authors always thank their agents.

Short of that, I'd recommend checking for agents who rep nonfiction.
