Links to other Travelers:
When traveling in out of the way places, you may not have a AAA Tour Book, Woodall’s or similar guide to help you decide where to camp. But you are not completely on your own either. For some countries, you will find published books to help you. Also, you will find that there are many, many travelers who have gone before you and some of them have taken the time to provide helpful, insightful guides of where they have gone and what they have found when they arrived. The greater your internet and language skills, the more resources you will find to help you along the way.
Here are some links that will connect you with travelers we have come across whose sites may be helpful to you.

“The traveller is active; he goes strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing".”
