Travel Resources

I do a lot of research and reading in the course of planning for a trip and I've gathered together here the sites and books that I found most helpful. I've also included some recommendations for books, movies and music to help get you in the mood. I hope you find the information on these pages useful, and if you do, please let me know.

The links on this page are for general travel resources. For place-specific links please visit the country, city and regional pages.
