In my Italian 1 class this term, I’ve got two students who are trying to learn the basics of a few languages as they prepare to embark on an around-the-world journey.

I love all that BootsnAll has to offer the independent traveler, and I’m still always really glad to hear someone say they’re finding useful information on the site.
The coffee shop around the corner from my house is, for obvious reasons, a place I go frequently. I know all the baristas. One of them is about [...]

I am starting to get excited about the BootsnAll river trip. We just had two more people sign up today, so I thought I would create a list of the reasons why you should consider coming.

Vietnam Adventure Tour

This is an amazing Vietnam tour that BootsnAll offers in our adventure travel section. It’s 22-day adventure trip in Vietnam, traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi – cycling, caving, boating, trekking and cultural homestays. It’s definitely for adventurers. I don’t think it could offer much more. The trips is barely over $1000, so [...]

Even though I’ve been a member of the BootsnAll community since February 2005, it wasn’t until this year that I finally got to meet some of my fellow community members. And with the year drawing to a close, I thought I’d reminisce a little bit about the folks I met this year…
This summer, a couple [...]
