Introduction

I find the most helpful resources

...in planning travel are the opinions of ordinary people, found in blogs, online forums, and reviews on sites like TripAdvisor. I've been to a few countries myself:

16 countries visited (7% of the world). So here is an index of my blog postings on my travels, organized for your reference convenience.

Travel Index

Accommodation
