If you don't buy into brochure blurbs, you'll know that fellow travellers can be one of the best sources of info around.
We get a mountain of mail from travellers on the road, covering everything from how to get a summer job in Guatemala to how to find a cold beer in Timbuktu. We want to share this stuff with other travellers asap so we haven't checked the facts they contain. The letters make great reading, but be smart and treat tips with caution until you suss things out for yourself.
