"AboutMyTravel.Com hopes to provide a place for ordinary people to share their stories of extraordinary places!"
A compendium of travel stories submitted by ordinary travellers.
If you have a story of your own, why not submit it? |
|
|
|
A simple and straightforward site. The only problem is that they haven't sorted out their "stories by category" page yet, so you'll have to work your way through the complete list, or search by keyword.
At the time of review there were over 150 different stories, and more are being added continually. |

Sahara Travel Forum |
|
|
|
Sahara-overland's travel forum provides the latest word on travelling anywhere around the Sahara.
The Sahara Travel forum is hosted by the Horizons Unlimited Bulletin Board - a forum geared towards travelling by motorcycle. |
|
|
|
If you plan on visiting any Saharan countries, you should first check the main website for thorough accounts of travel in the area.
Once you've checked that, visit this forum to find out the latest developments (travel restrictions change constantly in the region). |

The Thorn Tree |
|
|
|
This is the big one. You won't find a busier (or better) forum anywhere.
More branches, more posts and more answers than anyone else around.
Only registered users are allowed to post, but registering is free and easy, so what are you waiting for? |
|
|
|
The Thorn Tree should be your first port of call for virtually any travel-related question you have. Chances are it's been answered many times over, so do a search before you post.
It's also one of the best designed forums. A large part of each question is displayed, not just a vague heading like 'I have a question'. The branches are sensibly organised and easy to navigate, and the content is sensibly and clearly displayed.
The site is often slow to load, so for searches, it's usually quicker and easier to go via an idiot abroad's toolbox (click the igloo at the top of the page.) |
