In what is fast becoming an annual event, Fintown Trekker is coming to the myWanderlust catch-up at Destinations in London. No word on whether he’ll be bearing new commandments or indeed large jars of sweets. Or indeed if he intends to ‘have words’ with that wind turbine just off the M25 near Watford. Just that he’s coming. To be honest, that’s all you need – and want – to know.
It’s not just events of seismic importance that are announced on the Forum. It is also an invaluable source of advice. Ttbko has a cautionary take on not parking properly that we should all heed. Sergeant Pluck warns of the dangers of standing too close to Rhinos.
Others have come looking for advice. Pliers wants the lowdown on road tunnels in the Pyrenees. Amanda 1976 needs to know if there are any launderettes on Easter Island. And littlechris is enquiring on the state of the road out of Mandalay. You can help them all here.
MSJ1981 is just back from Prague bursting with top tips and advice – mainly gleaned from the face of Choco while eating burritos from Burrito Loco. Evesymm helped some baby turtles into the world at Sal Cape Verde Islands and has tips on how you can too. And JPY saw in the New Year – and the fireworks – in Sydney. Steer clear of the beer, says JPY. The price will make your eyes water.
Over at Experiences, Steve48 shares an article he wrote for his local paper about Burmese refugees in Sheffield. Treacleminer recounts his adventures in the Atacama desert.
Over at the photography section, we welcome Superapple, a young Belgian traveller with his sights set on becoming a travel journalist and photographer. He
announces his arrival with seven galleries full over stunning images from his tour of France by foot. Treacleminer posts a set of images from Atacama. MSJ1981 has a gallery from Prague – burritos not shown. And Khaolandbeyond has posted some wonderful images from Burma. Angela R has put up some pics from Colorado.
But my favourite photo this week was posted by Mattyboy876, called Netherlands at night.
Or Netherlands after a night out, as I prefer to call it.
