ADVICE

RTW Travel Guide My absolute favourite site for RTW information; a very well organized, comprehensive source of down-to-earth information. This was my original inspiration for launching into long-term travel.

The Practical Nomad: How To Travel Around The World A comprehensive site offering answers to most frequently asked questions.

The Art of Travel: How To See The World An online book offering advice on long-term travel.

RTW FAQ A simple, but handy, FAQ written in Canadian.

Lonely Planet Thorntree A tremendously large source of travel info / forum of travellers answering questions from peers. A little bit frustrating to search for answers to questions that have already been asked.

Packing List This is, by far, the nerdiest compilation of data that I have encountered. It is a very detailed list of things to take when travelling long-term. Wow.

Travel Guides A collection of free, downloadable travel guides for Europe.
