When we ran out of money, we were on a beach in Corfu. My boyfriend trawled the construction sites until he found a job hauling cement. I checked in at restaurants and hotels, but failed to turn anything up. I gave up after about a week; there was no work to be had. I spent the days reading on the beach. My boyfriend would come back to our campsite in the shell of an unfinished holiday ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

These days, a smartphone is an indispensible item on most travelers' packing lists, but if you're heading abroad you need to make sure your phone will work – and work cheaply at that.

But occasionally a case comes along that does stand out from the crowd and offers some unique options that ...Photographers Launch Postcards Across America Project

Feb 4th, 2012 at 10:00AM: Last year, recent college graduates Kelsey Ogden and Kristen Refermat set off on the adventure of their lives -- a four-month, 12-country backpacking trip -- armed with two packs, four cameras, and a desire to document the ups and downs of traveling on $30 per day.
