Good, Solid & Reliable Travel Information

There are some great web sites out there with incredible amounts of information on them that all travellers should read.  They hold a wealth of information such as what to wear, what to pack, what to see, what jabs are needed etc.  Not to mention information on how to keep your self safe, how to communicate non verbally, travelling with kids and more.

These are some of our favourites:

Travel Independent (Incredibly useful site)

Art Of Travel (European and world backpacking)

Rick Steve's Europe

Smartraveller (Australian government's travel advisory site)
