USEFUL LINKSHighlighted below is a list of some travel websites that we found to be an invaluable resource when planning our trip. If you would like to recommend a site that is not on this list or indeed submit a link to your own travel site please email us. GLOBETREKKER Airing on the Discovery Channel, this is a fantastic show that is hosted by a number of experienced budget travellers like the excellent Megan McCormack and Ian Wright. We found this show to be an essential and integral part of our planning as we were able to enjoy a visual taste of what we could see on our trip. This enabled us to determine places that would be of interest to us and discount those that were not. An excellent resource that has books on virtually every travel destination in the world. Caters for all types of taste from budget travellers to luxury travellers and provides a whole range of information including costs, travel times, accommodation, places to eat, sights to see, visa requirements, embassy and consulate addresses, as well as potential dangers and annoyances. In my opinion the best guide book in the business. Top notch company who specialise in student, backpacking and general budget travel. With offices around the world their knowledgeable and friendly staff will help you to plan any aspect of your trip. They should definitely be your first port of call whether it be flights, accommodation or specific activities. The website of our friends Banz and Vic who will shortly be embarking upon a big trip of their own, cycling across the world from Teeside, UK to Brisbane, Australia. Paul Parry's ingenious attempt to cycle literally from A to B. This journey will take him from A, a small fishing village in Norway, to Bee, a hamlet in the B province of Seward County, Nebraska and whatsmore its all for charity. An excellent website to use for securing hotel room's whilst travelling in China. We found many great bargains here in particular within 4 star hotels.
