about Traveldudes

Hi fellow Travelers and welcome to Traveldudes! (> to the front page)

I'm sure you've had similar experiences I had whilst traveling. You're in a certain place and a fellow traveler, or a local, tip you off on a little-known beach, bar or hostel. Great travel tips from other travelers or locals always add something special to our travels. That was the inspiration for Traveldudes.

Traveldudes is a private initiative & doesn't have a big budget like other commercial sites. Traveldudes won't SELL you flights or package holidays. That's why you won't find any! What Traveldudes will provide, are valuable tips, ideas and advice from travelers based on their first-hand experience.

Traveldudes is a community of travelers whose aim is to assist fellow travelers on their adventures around the world and help enhance their travel experience. For Travelers, By Travelers!

If you like the idea, please register for free & share your own travel tip, recommend it to friends and (social) bookmark the site. I would really appreciate it!

Some further info:

There are so many wonderful hostels, B&B's and other accommodation types available which are worth a recommendation. However, you won't find them all in a guide book. You can assist these unknown gems by becoming a travel author & write a tip about these places.

In addition, hostels, other accommodation types, tour operators and guides can present themselves completely for free on Traveldudes.org - Yes, you did read that correctly! No commissions (deposit) will apply, unlike on other sites. Why? Because this is the World Wide Web & I love sites like Wikipedia, Mozilla, Couchsurfing and OpenOffice who are communities that offer their valuable services or knowledge for the benefit of others FOR FREE.

In this sense, Traveldudes is a site By Travelers and For Travelers. With your assistance and involvement, we will be able to create a thriving, dynamic community of global travelers. Sign up today and start contributing your tips, ideas and advice. Fellow travelers around the world will thank you for it!

Thanks!

Yours

Melvin

Forget about the "dudes" in the title, this site offers great information even for those of us who are desperately uncool.

So many interesting & timely tips!

The Traveldudes website speaks to a wide range of travelers- young & old, broke & not so broke, RTW types and people who just want to explore their own backyard. You...

know when you visit you're going to find some gem - a great hostel, hotel or an activity in an area you knew nothing about.
I keep returning to see what's new - even in my own backyard.

And Melvin seems like such a decent, friendly helpful guy!

Thanks for putting this site together!
