My colleagues researched these 4 articles looking for value in the context of currency fluctuations over time. You’ll see some of these destinations were more expensive just 12+ months ago. Some, have been value oriented for a long time and continue to be. Injoy.

2013 Trip for Keener Family
Even though my daughters are not even home from the hospital yet (soon!) – I’m dreaming of a potential trip for the 5 of us in 2013.
Around the World Airfare Report
We released a report last week for folks that are considering an Around the World trip, or any Multi-Stop International trip for that matter. It breaks down 8 of the top companies and the Do It Yourself (DIY) method comparing costs and features. This is an underserved market and this free download will help save any potential traveler days and days of research.
We will be updating it a few times per year.

Lost Luggage can be a blessing
Depends on your point of view. Check out Andrew’s comment on the Indie Travel Manifesto.
When I arrived in Thailand 2 years ago I was on the last leg of an around the world journey with my best friend. We’d spent time all over Europe, Africa and Nepal, each place more amazing then the last. Upon arriving in Bangkok we found out the airline had ‘lost’ our luggage. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, we spent the final month of our trip hopping from beach to beach with nothing but a few pairs of board shorts, some tank tops and a tooth brush. Simple, liberating amazing!
Indie Travel Manifesto: Open today
We launched the Indie Travel Manifesto with our friend Rolf Potts today. I’m excited to be a small part in it’s creation. I feel motivated and alignment when I read it. Maybe you will too.
I also wrote a guest post on Brandy’s Blog today.
