To me, there’s something special about searching to discover bits of secret travel and sightseeing tips about exotic places from all over the Internet and then anticipating a great vacation that will benefit from all of them. When I research the area of the world I plan on traveling to, I’ll frequently find little hidden treasures, secret restaurants, ignored little tourist gems and little-advertised local events that no one else knows about, and of course, I’ll find some of the best fares to everywhere. I’ve come by quite a few useful travel resources over my years trotting the globe; some of them are new, and some of them have seen many travel seasons. Information being power and all, here is my list of the best travel sites that I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.

7 Things to Remember When Traveling Abroad
Traveling abroad is exciting and makes a great vacation. There are a few tips and items to keep in mind when planning your trip abroad. Remember these eight things and you’ll have a happy, stress-free trip.
1. Medical Insurance – Medical insurance is also important. Check with your current health care provider, and consider your options for medical insurance so you can easily be treated in the event of accident or illness in a foreign country.
2. Copies at Home – Leave a copy of your passport, your contact information, and the places you will stay, with your family or a close friend. This allows them to contact you directly if there is a problem.
3. Directions – Check that you have adequate directions and know where you are going. It is not wise to travel to a foreign area that you have not researched before. You could be lost, or become the victim of a crime.
