New ways to make friends while traveling
We hear a lot about companies trying to help you get vacation tips from friends. But a few companies are going a step further. They're trying to help you travel with acquaintances and like-minded strangers. Here are some new ones of note
Globetrooper Helps you connect with like-minded people (usually complete strangers) to plan experiences abroad. About 1,400 people, mostly Aussies, have "liked" the year-old service on Facebook so far.
Vacation Relation This is for Spring Breakers only. Teaming up with StudentCity shortly, this site will let young people find out if their far-flung friends are going to be at a warm-weather destination at the same time as they are.
Travel with Spirit Want to do some faith-based traveling with a fellow Christian? Post an ad in the forums of this site, which also spotlights nifty package trips and suggests destination ideas.
Rent a Friend Yes, it's come to this. People in cities around the world offer their time on an hourly basis to accompany you to attractions, etc. A $20 an hour rate is common
Crash Boom Bang
The very first step is that you have to have a motorbike. Otherwise none of this will matter and you’ll just have to hope that your tuk tuk driver is drunk, because otherwise the whole crashing thing isn’t going to happen for you.
We rented a motorbike here in Chiang Mai. It’s $50/mo, costs about $3 to fill up and fits a family of three just perfectly. You know that post about getting rid of the car seat in Bangkok, well let’s just say we’ve embraced local modes of transportation even more. There’s a complicated system I use to justify this to myself but here are the highlights: Thais drive with their children all the time (usually just standing on their lap, hair blowing in the breeze), most of them don’t use helmets, we only drive in town where the speeds rarely go above 15 mph and because everyone is too poor to have insurance or replace their vehicle, everyone drives very nicely (once you account for the complete lack of traffic rules).
So my husband drives, I put the baby in a wrap with a baby helmet (the store owner laughed at me when I tried to buy a helmet for him, assuming I was just kidding) and I hop on the back. It’s a baby sandwich. Hubby, Baby, Me.
There are two reactions we get as we zip around town. The first is from Thais who invariably notice the baby and lean off the edge of their bike, stretch out one hand (steering their bike with the other) and try to touch his hand or foot. If they are driving with a baby, they usually shake their baby at me, smiling and try to make the two children touch hands. All of this while we’re driving down the street, avoiding potholes and for the Thais, usually carrying some large package on the front of their bike.
The second reaction is from foreigners. Usually they drop their jaw, nudge the person next to them, and on a few occasions, whip out their video camera – because apparently there’s a big demand for videos of bad parents on YouTube.
Cities in Winter
Cities are not really that much fun in the winter. Winter is meant to be enjoyed in the mountains, in warm rustic cabins or, for those who are averse to the cold, on the beach in the Caribbean. Other than some quaint holiday decorations, cities are pretty devoid of winter perks. Snow turns black pretty quickly, slush makes walking around difficult and buildings create wind tunnels. All in all, winter in cities kind of sucks.

The truth about Social Media
Making $15,000+/month on YouTube!
Most people don’t even know what the word “etymologist” means, so it’s pretty darn impressive that Marina Orlova makes millions being one online!
“Etymologists” study and teach the history of a language. It might sound boring, but it’s Orlova’s passion so she decided to take her love of words to the masses – and she’s done so in the most entertaining of way

Beware of Holiday Scams
Consumers would be wise to beware of the most common scams of the season before heading online to book travel and do holiday shopping. McAfee (NYSE: MFE) has revealed the “Twelve Scams of Christmas” – the 12 most dangerous online scams that computer users should be cautious of this holiday season.
“Scams continue to be big business for cybercriminals who have their sights set on capitalizing on open hearts and wallets this holiday season,” said Dave Marcus, director of security research for McAfee Labs. “As people jump online to look for deals on gifts and travel, it’s important to recognize common scams to safeguard against theft during the busy season ahead.”
