For those travelers who enjoy making obscene gestures in foreign lands — here’s a guide just for you.

Travel Photo: Albuefeira, Portugal

I absolutely loved Portugal when I was there in 2005. And wow, that was a long time ago. Way too long. Anyway, I was going through my feedreader tonight and found this amazing photo of Albuefeira, Portugal, realized Christine needed some help a contest with On The Go Tours for the chance to travel to Morocco, Russia, Jordan, Turkey or Egypt as a blogger or photographer, and thought I’d help out by reposting the photo here.

All you need to do to help is click here and “like” the photo on Facebook. Easy enough…now, get to it.

Filling the Time Void on The Travel Trail

When you are on the travel trail, there is seemingly no end to the amount of free time. You don’t have a full time job that takes up every free minute of the day (or maybe you do), you have to fill the time void with something.

Chess. Twitter. Paperback books. Your Kindle. An iPod. An iPad. Party Poker. Angry Birds. Journaling. Facebook. YouTube. Blogging. Swimming and sun bathing (if you’re near a beach). Hacky sack. The list goes on and on.

When you’re traveling, you have LOTS of free time. What do you fill it with?

Rookie Backpacker Travel Fail

My first backpacking trip was in the summer of 2005 following graduation from University of Washington. Once you decide you’re going backpacking for the 1st time, one of the first major questions to answer is “what to pack?”

My friend and I made the massive mistake of packing sleeping bags. We arrived in London in late June, realized hostels had sheets and that we were not going to need sleeping bags on our journey, knew we didn’t want to carry them around with us for 2 months, and 3 days later we shipped those bulky sleeping bags to my friend’s family’s house in Slovakia from a post office in Paris. Had we not been able to ship them within the EU, we would have just given them to someone on the street.

Lesson: you don’t need a sleeping bag to backpack Europe. And I can assure you beyond a doubt you won’t want to lug a bulky sleeping bag around day after day.

I’m betting every first timer makes a mistake — what’s the biggest rookie mistake you made on your first trip?
