Salvete!
My latest transcription project has been uploaded to Project Gutenberg: Volume 1 of Fratris Felicis Fabri Evagatorium in Terrae Sanctae, Arabiae et Egypti Peregrinationem, a German monk's pilgrimage to the Holy Land etc. This volume covers his first journey to the Holy Land (a brief account) and the beginning of the second one, including a very interesting account of the journey itself (very detailled account). You can download it from its Project Gutenberg-page.
The second pilgrimage took place in 1483/1484, so do not expect classical Latin. I can recommend this text to anyone who is interested in a lively account of travelling and pilgrimage in the late 15th century. It is fairly easy to read, so give it a try. There are two more parts (not yet transcribed) which cover the rest of his pilgrimage including the journey back.
I hope people will enjoy it. Please share its being available for free at Gutenberg.org.
Valete,
Carolus Raeticus

Do you know if there is an English translation somewhere? I searched but could not find anything. It seems like an interesting read but with my current Latin ability I like being able to read in English to make sure I am translating properly.

There's these two volumes published by H. F. M. Prescott:
Jerusalem Journey
Once to Sinai
But, as far as I can see, they are not full translations. Prescott wrote her own account of Faber's pilgrimages and larded it with quotes from the books.
