India Video: New Feature on BootsnAll Travel Network

India is one of the few countries that defies a stereotype. It's such an intensely populated, vast country, filled with different types of cultures that one could travel through the whole country and never really experience one characterization.

Around the BootsnAll Travel Network, you are going to see many more videos like this, to help you plan your adventures around the world. Find videos on Costa Rica, Thailand, and many other havens for the indie traveler.

Check out these topics currently being discussed on the BootsnAll Travel Forums:

• KPG is trying to avoid a repeat of last Christmas, when her well-meaning family sent her things she didn't really need... Which, of course, she then had to find a way to accommodate or get rid of whilst away from home. Her folks are already asking what she wants this year, and she doesn't think they'll like her answer. So - what's your ideal travel-related gift?



• In these days of heightened airport security, EmmaEgg is concerned that the metal she wears as body jewelry will set off the detectors. And while she'd be okay with demonstrating it's a piercing and nothing more dangerous, she doesn't want to have to take it out - especially at the airport! Got any first-hand experience with body piercings at the airport?



• Who knew we'd need a new Seven Wonders of the World? Well, apparently someone thinks we do - and we're being allowed to vote on what we think the wonders should be. See what other folks are voting for, and have your say!

• Not everyone has that enviable gift for language - most of us try to get by with a few mangled words in the local lingo to get by. JetGirl's trying to narrow that list down even further - what's the most important word to know in any language? So what's your word of choice? And how do you say it in every language you know?



• It's all about practicality... When you can't shower, Zopa asks, how do you clean yourself? Gonorth has posted a step-by-step guide. What's your method?



• This thread has been around for awhile, and it's still going strong - it's the "where is this place?" thread! You can jump in at any point in the game, and post your own question as well, making it fun for everyone. Test your geographical know-how! Here's the most current photo for identification.



• Even among a group of people who all love to travel, eveyrone's going to have a least-favorite part of the experience. Whether it's packing, airline travel, overnight bus rides, missing family or simply coming home - KPG asks, "What's the worst part about travelling?"

BootsnAll Launches Travel Gear Blog

Bootsnall Travel Network has launched a series of new travel blogs, written by experts from different destinations or experts in certain types of travel.

One such blog is our Travel Gear Blog

Travel Gear Blog provides reviews, news and up-to-date information of outdoor and travel products. It's perhaps one of the most comprehensive sites for getting previews of new products that are relevant to travelers. Travel Gear Blog decides what gear is worthy of your money - the good, the bad, the bullshit, and the stuff you can put on your Christmas list.

I would encourage you to bookmark Travel Gear Blog, send it to your "gear head" friends, and read it on a daily basis.

Read our new press release for more information. And, if you have any questions, feel free to email me at donovan (at) Bootsnall (dot) com.

Best of the Forums for the week of October 2, 2006

Check out these topics currently being discussed on the BootsnAll Travel Forums:

• Missa25 asks the question many people who've got the travel bug ask: "Do you ever have to choose between 'stuff' and travel?" Zopa chimes in with her travel and work history, and how she's balanced the work/travel equation. It's a fabulous lesson for anyone who thinks they can't afford to travel - Zopa's here to prove you wrong! There are some great examples of the paths people take toward achieving their goals - it's a thread everyone can learn from.



• Nevermind culture shock overseas, Keppie's feeling it at home! A visit to a mall recently made her head spin... Do you experience more shock at home or abroads?
