On the Road

Lonely Planet – Home to the enormous Thorn Tree, the biggest travel forum and really quite useless as it’s a substitute for therapy for many of the users.

Rough Guides – the guides are pretty middle of the road these days but at least they do offer them for free.

Travellerspoint.com – worldwide community of travelers offering advice on where to go.

Pongü‘s Travel Guides – series of cool guides written on Asian countries.

World66.com and Wikitravel.org – these are online collaborative efforts which so far lack much quality writing or information but they might take off one day. It’s a great idea but tends to succumb to the lowest common denominator.

Road Junky – Hey, that’s us! Roadjunky evolved as a mission to put the spirit back into travel and go beyond the dead and buried clichés of the saturated travel guide industry. Maybe we’ll end up selling out in the end but we can’t think of a price just yet.
