Nick Stevenson, London As any self-respecting Brit will tell you, there is not a lot that a cup of tea can't fix. Sian Morgan, London Many Brits aspire to having a garden, and some are a delight to behold, with roses, lavender, a lovingly mowed lawn and a water feature.

Amazing Indie Travel Experiences for 2012. At the beginning of the year, we asked BootsnAll readers about their travel plans for the coming year. We didn’t just want to hear about where you wanted to go, but about what you wanted to experience as well. That’s what we think travel – particularly indie travel – is all about: not just seeing the major sights but experiencing a culture, learning about the people, history, religion, and way of life of a place, and challenging yourself to find your own place in the world. On Monday, we launched the Indie Travel Manifesto, a community-curated statement about indie travel and the travelers who choose to explore the world in the indie travel style.

Though the first draft of the Manifesto was without crowdsourcing the community, we weren’t surprised to see how much of it relates directly to the things you told us you wanted to see and do on your travels this year. So, without further ado, we present some ideas for incredible experiences to inspire you to be an indie traveler this year! 1. Follow Us Around the World - Travel. Why Raise an Indie Traveler?

What I didn’t fully appreciate were the challenges – and rewards – that would come with this decision.

Continuing to travel throughout pregnancy and the infancy and toddlerhood of our child hasn’t been easy. When flying, we’ve gone from the black diamond lane to the dreaded family lane. Destinations have to be planned and arrangements made in advance rather than on the fly.

Taking your child traveling benefits him in many of the same ways travel benefits you, and forces you to grow as a traveler. 1.Seeing yourself in the context of a rich and complex world. 2.Options over possessions. 3.Interactions over transactions.
