5 Little-Known Websites That Will Save You Time and Money When Booking Airfare Online This article is by staff writer Adam Baker. Baker recently reflected on just how much money affects our internal values. When booking airfare online, most people think of the popular online aggregation sites. You know the ones: They have the fancy commercials, catchy jingles, and washed-up celebrity pitchmen. Many of the aggregation sites neglect to include smaller, budget carriers.Larger airline companies may temporarily exclude or intentionally block these aggregation sites from fares.Short-term specials or incentive sales aren’t usually aggregated either. Obviously, there isn’t just one website capable of giving you the best deal every time. Many larger carriers make a significant amount of money off of the loyalty factor — meaning those individuals and companies who choose to fly the same airline every time for whatever reason. In most cases, the cheapest fare will be found using a combination of sites depending on your specific travel plans. This article is about Tools, Travel

Normal life I have always been afraid of entering the system and being sucked into mindless daily routines of office jobs. I wanted to be adventurous and creative in my own way. And this inability and unwillingness to conform led me to discovering quite a few interesting alternatives. When I told my friends I am going to live in a Zen Buddhist temple and learn kung-fu and meditation for free for 3 months, they could not believe it’s possible.

But it works. Of course, one can’t do it for years, but it’s a good way to take a break from anything that you’d call “a normal life”. Alternative lifestyles I should warn you though, it’s not for everyone. 1. 2. 3.

Making Money As A Travel Photographer It’s not long before people with a passion for both photography and travel hit upon the idea that combining the skills is a cash-crop just waiting to be harvested. Then they email me. Or Matt Brandon. Or Gavin Gough. No doubt people like Rick Sammon or Bob Krist get flooded with the same emails asking the same question. How do I make money as a travel photographer? Ah, the age-old search for the hidden pot o’ gold! First, I think the matter of “travel photography” needs to be more clearly defined. The more relevant question is how do I find buyers for my talent and my images? Gavin’s reply is helpful because it immediately disabuses us of this “get on a plane, take some pictures, return home to sell them and live of the vast proceeds” rubbish. If on the other hand, you’re still hanging on my every word, and still want to do this, well, there’s good news and bad news. Still with me? 10 Thoughts on Making A Living As A “Travel Photographer” 1. Now it’s your turn.

But I want it all. In an ideal world, every hostel would… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. …and, finally, it should charge (at the very most) half the price that a night at a nearby, respectable, budget hotel would cost. All of these hostels (and another 1,500) can be booked through Lonely Planet at Hotels & hostels.
14 Ways to Be Prepared for Anything While Traveling When I was a kid, I was a boy scout. I made it pretty far too but then I became a teenager, decided it was “lame” and quit. As a boy scout, I learned how to tie knots, camp outdoors, be a good citizen, play with knives, and got to have cool sleepovers. One of the most important things you learn as a Boy Scout is their motto to always “be prepared” and as I’ve grown up and traveled the world, I’ve found this to also be a travel truism. You never know what might happen on the road. Stepping out your door into the unknown is what makes travel so exciting. But if you’re prepared, you’ll be able to face whatever happens to you on the road: Take Multi-Purpose Gear. Carry a Small First-Aid Kit. Pack a Small Flashlight. Bring an Umbrella. Learn Basic Phrases. Study Non-Verbal Communication. Keep Emergency Cash with You. Have Back Up Cards. Carry Cash. Make Extra Copies. Know What to do When You Lose Your Passport. Carry a List of Emergency Contacts. Have Travel Insurance. Read Before You Go.
