General Travel Sites for the Independent Traveller

Yahoo Mail

Hotmail
These are two of the most common web-based email services. Web-based email allows you to access your email from anywhere in the world that has a connection to the web, so it's a great idea for travellers!

Web-based Bookmarks
There are other options for keeping your bookmarks online, but many of them require special "toolbars" to be on the computer you're using. This site doesn't because it's a regular website; you only need access to the web to get to your bookmarks.

Budget Travel
General travel site.

Solo Traveller
This site matches single travellers so that they don't have to travel alone. (This is also a great way to avoid "single supplement" charges!)

International Calling
How to call TO anywhere, FROM anywhere. Other sites promise it. This one delivers. You may need to read the local language to make use of these resources.

International Dialling
OK, so you've got the country code, the region code, the city code, and the actual phone number you're trying to call. Now, what to do with all of those annoying zeros that are in brackets? When should you dial them and when should you ignore them? This site spells it all out.

Net Cafe Guide
To find an Internet cafe where you are (or will be).

Worldwide Customs Information
Look up what you're allowed to take into a country BEFORE you get to the border.
