LonelyPlanet.tv

Lonely Planet recently launched lonelyplanet.tv, a new website packed with travel footage shot by Lonely Planet TV -- like the excellent overviews of Mumbai and Berlin -- as well as uploaded by independent travelers -- see, for example, the clip of Lake Burma's jumping monastery cats or the unusual tour of the unusual Squilax Hostel in Canada (hosted by an unusual tour guide).

The clips load fast (a plus!), though they aren't embeddable (a minus). Nevertheless, the site, organized by channels, contains loads of footage that's meant to inspire, educate, fascinate, or simply amuse.

Swing by and browse through the channels A Year of Parties; Oh F***! Oh Wow! (showcasing unusual happenings around the planet); and Tripcast, which features travel journals.

Get inspired. Then go do something.
