Overview
"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." - Henry Miller
Few things can change your perspective on life the way that a true adventure can. With gas prices going up, air fares climbing, and new luggage fees, travel is getting harder than ever, but it is still possible and just as necessary.
To encourage the adventuring spirit we want to know how you handle this new age of travel. Share your travel skills, secrets, and tips, or just explain a classic technique well. Whether it's a jungle trek or a weekend drive to Grandma's, how do you do it?
Enter the Lonely Planet Travel Tips Contest and win some sweet books from Lonely Planet to help you plan your next journey, wherever it may be!
Your entries can cover any aspect of modern travel. How do you keep the kids occupied during long car trips? How do you pack light and avoid checking luggage? How do you explore foreign lands, see awesome sights, and not come back with a pile of debt?
Traveling for less means traveling smarter, so share your clever tips!
