WWOOF: A cheap, eco-friendly way to travel, except in China {Gadling}
Oct 16th 2009 4:17PM My wife and I joined WWOOF in Australia for 6 months in 2000.
Most of the places we stayed were not farms at all....we worked at a B&B (yes, making beds), painted the deck on a sailboat, built a fence on a house undergoing renovations in central Brisbane and mulched for Waratah flowers that were being grown for the Sydney Olympics.
We agree that it is probably time for the name to be changed from "...On Organic Farms" but don't let the variety of opportunities dissuade you.
The high price of low cost airlines {Gadling}
Jul 23rd 2009 3:06PM I recently planned a multi-point journey in Europe and was considering Ryanair until I read all the hidden fees. For example, fees to use your credit card to purchase the ticket and fees even if you do check in online (though much less than at the airport). Adding that to the baggage fees and out-of-the-way airports Ryanair came to the same price as using BA, Air France and Iberia...which give me Frequent Flier miles!

Jul 10th 2009 7:35PM I had an almost identical experience in the Philippines....but the flight was almost 1.5hours long.
This was my view from seat 1A:

Dakar to Paris: Layover in Algiers or Tripoli? {Gadling}
Apr 25th 2009 12:25AM Before you book on Afriquiya you should know several things:
1) Getting a visa for Libya will be very, very difficult, so you will most likely be stuck in the airport
2) Do some google searches, there are many stories of the nightmare 24hour and 48hour stuck in Tripoli airport on the original "4 hour layovers". Keep in mind that Tripoli airport rolls up the sidewalk around 8pm every night so at very least bring a snack.
3) Afriquiya uses new planes on their Tripoli to Europe routes. The same can not be said for their Tripoli to Africa routes.

Volcano Boarding: Sledding Down An Active Volcano {Gadling}
Apr 20th 2009 1:56PM It is also fun to do this without the board....which I did in 2008.
Basically you just run down the side which will take you 10 minutes to cover the entire elevation drop. It feels like running on the moon since you can take such huge steps.
While slower than boarding it was definitely the fastest my own two feet have taken me.
