Answer questions, ask questions. It is all about learning about other travellers, and expressing the what, where, how, and why of your travel history.

markbroadhead If time or money wasn't a factor I'd travel by ship most of the time. My first baby steps were on a ship in gale, but since my childhood planes and buses have dominated my modes of transport. Unfortunately, these two come equal last in my preference. But the economies of time/money means they usually win over ships and trains.
k_lea123 We enjoyed a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide in a camper van from Viva campers along the great ocean road it was awsome to just pull up free on the side of the road you cant do that in a ship.
madtuktukchallenge Well traveersing in a tuk tuk is by n means comfortable but it's always such a laugh. Every time I hop in one with a group the journey is complete with laughter, fright and a few curses and numb bums along the way. So now I'm taking it to the next level and competing in the MaD Tuk Tuk Challenge Cambodia 2010. 10 days across remote Cambodia in a tuk tuk. It's insane - I don't know why we choose to do these things but the more I travel the more adrenalin and discomfort required - and this is for charity. Check it out online I'm keen to have a few more fellow travelers participate - www.madtuktukchallenge.com
imogenb trains, esp in eastern europe, where they are cheap, frequent and comfy. just take your own food. you can read, flop around with the sway of the carriage, sleep, chat to locals, admire the scenery, walk up and down the platforms at stops, zone out listening to the clatter of the wheels on the tracks...idyllic
