If you’re heading off on a long trip and planning to fly at all, the ebook we review in this post might be a good investment. The Unconventional Guide to Discount Airfare by Chris Guillebeau looks at a variety of ways you can save money on airfares.
Craig talks about six different hostel booking sites, doing a full review of five of them: gomio, HI hostels, hostelz, hostelworld and hostelbookers. He looks at booking features, hostel listings and other services provided by the sites.
Even indie travellers end up in tour groups sometimes. Almost everyone will agree that a more authentic experience can be found by doing it yourself, but sometimes time or transport options leave you with little choice.
We suggest three reasons you might choose a package day-trip and balance these against reasons you might choose to go it alone. We give you some thoughts aimed at helping you decide the day-trip dilemma: to tour or not to tour. We also talk about our time in Estonia and Poland and ask your advice for walking the West Highland Way in Scotland.
We follow up our first guidebook review with four hints to get the most out of your guidebooks.
Tip one: Buy a new one
Tip two: Rip them up
Tip three: Follow your instincts
Tip four: Pass it on
