"What travel tips do you wish you'd been given before you went to...?"
Fishing boats waiting to go out...
Ever been asked this?
Ever asked it of a friend before you went on a trip yourself?
I find that people want to know the things that went wrong, the hidden gems that I found by accident and where I wish I'd gone but didn't get to.
In short, they want to know what I wish I'd known before I left.
I'm a travel guide addict, both in print and online, but even the best travel guide has one major problem - information overload. That's why when you're planning your trip it always pays to ask someone whose been there before.
But, what if you don't know anyone whose been there before?
Where can give you get GREAT travel tips?
Online is a good source, but shuffling through the blogs, social media and hotel reviews takes time.That's why I've built this site - to let you share your recommendations and help you find the tips you want to know about before you go in an easy to use way.
Personally I've not been to every place in the world (YET!!!!) but with my experiences and the tips that have been provided by others, our concise and helpful recommendations cover 6 continents.
***NOTE!!! If you've been to Antarctica and have some great Antarctica travel tips to share contact me now - we'd love to feature your story on our site and in our newsletter.***
In addition to our destination- specific travel tips, we've got a slew of general tips on everything from how to pack an giraffe into your carry-on to navigating a 500 year old monastery with a wheelchair (or guide dog!). We've also got great resources for family travel and traveling with your animals.
Here's what you won't find on this site: extensive restaurant reviews, endless hotel evaluations, or shopping recommendations covering every store in town. Why? because other sites already do that - and do it well. What will you find here? Easy to navigate, concise, helpful travel tips organized by your destination. Handy, memorable 'do this' 'avoid this' recommendations from fellow travelers.
You'll also find:
Great stories of trips gone wrong (because these are always the best stories). Awesome photos from fellow travelers. Unusual and unique places that people have 'stumled upon' but which aren't in guides and don't have website. Lists of memorable experiences you shouldn't miss when you travel.
In short:
A community of fellow travelers who will benefit from your experiences and share their experiences with you. Friends who've been everywhere and who can answer your question "what travel tips can you give me for : Egypt, Japan, Niagra Falls, Belize, Afghanastan, China, Manchu Pichu, etc...?"
So welcome. Set down your backpack, hat box, steamer trunk or hobo bag and stay a while. See something we've missed? Let us know! We'll add your wisdom to that of our current cast. Who knows, you could even win a $25 Amazon gift card.
