Did around the world eight years ago before Skype probably around. Gearing up to do it again and will probably use Voxofon.com this time. Skype is solid but I'm addicted to all the different ways you can use Voxofon...even on an iPhone although will probably sell before I leave. I think it's cheaper too and since I save by staying in hostels...want to save in every way possible. Matt – Great advice. Did around the world eight years ago before Skype probably around.

I love finding new sites to find cheap flights at home - Any recommendations I can add to my flight finder series.

I don't know what I would do without the peer reviews. (So definitely leave one after you've stayed somewhere-- it helps everyone out). I agree that hostelworld is great.

Thanks for pointing out the importance of food, Matt. I've seen too many travelers try to save big on one of the most joyful parts of travel: eating good local fare. They miss out on so much! In Paris, find a nice bistro frequented by locals not tourists and you'll find a inexpensive prix fixe menu which will allow you to taste all kinds of yummy things. I recommend a steak frites with bearnaise sauce. Yum! “Because you didn’t travel to Paris to sit in your hostel kitchen, you came to experience French cuisine!”
