I am sure you have all heard of Wikipedia. Well a wiki is an actual style of web application. There is another wiki site I am going to talk about called Wiki Travel.
This is an awesome website with user written content in a "wiki style" for traveling. There are thousands of locations documented on this website. Most places are broke down into sections for...
- Sights to see
- Places to stay
- History
- Traveling around
- How to get there and get out of there
- Safety concerns
- Basic statistical data concerning the place or thing
- Working there
- Studying there
- Shopping
- Eating
- Night life
- Music
Keep in mind that the content is written by users so it can be biased and just plain false. However, it will be more up to date than most resources because of this flexibility. Definitely a handy resource ot use when looking for current information or tips from people who have actually been there.
WikiTravel is simply awesome and I definitely suggest checking it out when planning your next holiday.
