New Travel Forum
Finally managed to sort out all the forum related stuff, like making it bilingual. Been wanting to have one for ages, and lately I have received a good few emails (well, three in almost two week) from people asking for advice on travelling and diving, so I thought I might as well make that information available to everybody in the future. Don’t know if people will actually use it, but I don’t care, I like it. It’s more focused on the general stuff related to travelling, but obviously people can ask for specific country information as well. So far the only country-forums I have added are the ones I can actually say something about and I will add more as I get to travel to them. If you want to have a country added and are willing to check the forum from time to time, then send me a mail or post in the forum. As part of the whole forum setup I have activated user registration on Travel-Junkie.com, so go ahead…
A Beginner’s Guide to Travelling

Here’s some points you might want to consider, especially if you’re a firsttimer:
