The ultimate road trip: 12,500 miles across Africa on a motorcycle
Nov 25th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Thomas Tomczyk is serious about motorcycles. He's done three motorcycle trips across India, from the steamy southern tip all the way up to the frozen highlands of Ladakh.

Oct 16th, 2009 at 5:30PM:
Last July, travel writers and bloggers from all over the world came together in Chicago for TBEX, the Travel Blog Exchange. It was a day to meet people in the industry, to learn from other writers and bloggers, and most of all, to start a conversation about the business of travel blogging.
Topics covered at the inaugural event included "Creating a a Lively and Successful Travel Blog", which ...NY Times realizes Twitter is useful for travel
Apr 6th, 2009 at 9:30AM: It takes the NY Times to catch up with the world around it ... especially when technology is involved. Hey, the newspaper wouldn't be in so much financial trouble if this weren't the case. But, they don't get it wrong; the reporters over there just take a bit longer to grasp what's happening. So, I was pretty psyched when I saw in the "Frugal Traveler" column that Twitter can be used to get ...Heathen in the Holy Land: How I became an Israeli pseudo-celebrity

Mar 19th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Never let it be said that we don't have amazing photographers who contribute to our Gadling Flickr pool. One of my favourite things to do is to just scroll through all the striking images -- or better still, do searches within the pool for images of any of my upcoming travel destinations. Every time I do, I always learn something: something about a far-off land or culture, or I pick up a new trick ...Guide on traveling like a local in Cambodia
Aug 30th, 2008 at 11:30AM: No, I haven't traveled like a local in Cambodia, but from how Tim Patterson describes it at Jaunted, my local travel in The Gambia sounds close. His line about both butt checks falling asleep at the same time brought back memories.
As one of his entries for the Embedded Travel Guide to Cambodia, a series where he blogs about his experiences staying in a guest house in Sihanoukville, Patterson ...Can't decide where to eat in a city? Urban Spoon to the rescue!
Feb 5th, 2008 at 12:20PM: How many times have you randomly chosen a place to eat and it's turned out to be a waste of time, taste-buds and money -- when you just wished you had read a review or two before walking in? This happens to me ALL the time. A quick skim through Urban Spoon before you choose where to eat and you might just save yourself from the agony of eating bad food or paying a ridiculous bill. Not only will ...
