Don't Miss...

Tim Ferris, Travel Guru and NY Times Best Selling Author recently gave us some great praise on Twitter, "The most useful site for planning overseas trips - period: www.virtualtourist.com. I've used it for 10+ countries with stellar results." We're glad to have such an illustrious fan. Not only did he give us that recent shout out, but if you read his book, The 4-hour Work Week, you'll see that some of the best advice he gives is to use VT to plan your travels!

Cool Tools

VT partner sites are pretty cool too. TripAdvisor launched a cool new tool that allows you to search multiple airlines, sites, and options for cheap flights. Use it to pick the number of stops, length of layovers, duration of the transit and many more options for your next trip. And our friends over at TravelPod have a cool site that allows you to create a free travel blog when you're on the road.
