Summer 2007

If you're traveling abroad, this summer, check out the Lonely Planet Thorntree forum, a site run by the travel-guide publishing company. Travelers from all over the world write in to this forum with tips on where to stay, what to see, where to eat, and how to meet the locals. Many of the posters/travelers are university-aged backpackers or city dwellers.
