Vagabonding

Today we would like to point out the book Vaganbonding written by Rolf Potts. This book provide information and inspiration how to travel the world.

Also the web pages Rolf Potts' Vagabonding are very useful. You can find blog, reviews of book and for me the section Resources is very important. It contains a huge number of various link connected with travelling.

The term "vagabonding" is in the book explained as the act of leaving behind the orderly world to travel independently for an extended period of time.

 

Trick of some European airports

If you plan to travel to Europe, look out for the tricks of airports. First of all for names of airports. For example low-cost airlines use the small airport that are quite far from your destination. For example the second Munich airport is in the city of Memmingen, third Milano airport is in Bergamo or airport Brussels South is in Charleroi. Very from Frankfurt there is the airport Frankfurt Hahn. These airports could be cheap but it is quite complicated to find a transport.

It is the second problem. If you need to go from or to an airport, try to find some local transport and not special shuttle or train. It is necessary to go through web pages and timetables of local transport providers.  

How to Get the Cheapest Flights

For today we have prepared some advices how to buy the cheapest flight tickets:

• Book early or in the last hours.
• Find the suitable destination not only for particular dates but also for the whole month (kayak, skyscanner).
• Try to compare the offer of the biggest flight dealers - orbitz.com, priceline.com, skyscanner or expedia.com.
• Search tickets for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday (the best time is after midnight on Tuesdays).
• Chech over night flights or flight in low season.
• Try also two or more one-way tickets instead of return ticket.
• Sometimes is cheaper to return to adjacent city or region.
• When you have recommended flights by some booking engine, check also airline websites.
• Also it is useful to follow airlines and dealers news or RSS channels.

King's Tour

During last weekend I visited Austrian region Salzburgerland and skicentre Hoch König. Great skiing and wonderful trail Königstour – 32 km from Mühlbach to Maria Alm and back. You can go over five tops with gorgeous views of Hoch König massive. Look at You Tube video or web page Ski Amade.

Presentations on Prezi

The web application Prezi enables to create very interesting (so-called non-linear) presentations. As well it contains the archive. If you input to box Explore the terms "travel" or "travelling", you can go through nice presentations and find some inspiration. I like for example presentations Travelling Europe or Travel to East Europe.

Travel Twitter Best Of

For today we have prepared the other best of list. It is focused on Twitter and information about travelling. Which tweeters are recommended to follow? They need to be divided into two groups:

• Twitters of private persons such as Peter Greenberg, Grant Martin, Kathy McCabe, George Hobica or Ben Mutzabaugh (mostly of mentioned twitters are oriented to flying)
• Twitters of companies (e.g. Expedia, Orbitz, Frommer's or Guardian Travel)

The following list show the countries cited the most frequently: Bulgaria, India and Indonesia (3 times); Egypt, Nepal, Vietnam, Thailand, Philipphines, Paraguay and Croatia. The southeast Asia is the most cheapest region.

Diseases (1) - Malaria

Diseases are unfortunately common associates on the road. Our series want to introduce the most common diseases. Today we start with malaria (or marsh fewer).

Symptoms: Fever and flu-like illness, including shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea may also occur. Malaria may cause anaemia and jaundice (yellow colouring of the skin and eyes). Infection may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death. For most people, symptoms begin 10 days to 4 weeks after infection, although a person may feel ill as early as 8 days or up to 1 year later.

Risk: Female mosquitoes of the Anopheles genus are the primary hosts of the parasites of the genus Plasmodium.

Occurrence: Tropical and subtropical regions, including much of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Americas. See the CDC Malaria Map Application.

Help: You cannot be vaccinated against malaria. You can take anti-malaria tablets (e.g. Malarone). Read The ABCD of Malaria Treatment.
