Special July 2010 fares for multi-stop tickets on BootsnAll

It’s not like anyone who’s on a long-term or RTW trip has to have a travel blog – after all, plenty of people blazed the vagabond trail long before computers were even a thing. But these days it’s hard to find a RTW traveler who doesn’t have some method set up for keeping track of a journey that doesn’t involve paper and pen. Whether you’re using Facebook to update family and friends, writing travel stories on a personal blog, or constantly uploading photos to Flickr to let images do the talking for you, there are all kinds of electronic ways to stay in touch.

But even beyond tracking your own travel progress, there are now other ways to connect while you’re traveling – including a cool new Facebook app from BootsnAll, the company that hosts this site.

Sites like Couchsurfing let you stay with people in destinations all over the world, thereby saving you money and helping you meet locals all at once. Yelp, Gowalla, and Foursquare take crowd-sourcing to a new level, letting you find out what’s hot in a destination (and, depending on how you use them, find out where your new friends are hanging out, too). And BootsnAll’s Traveler Connect lets you find locals in the places you’re going so you can ask for travel advice right through the Facebook interface – and you don’t have to “friend” them, either. This article about 6 online tools to help enrich your offline travel experiences talks about all these sites.

So even if you’re not planning to keep up a traditional blog for your trip that doesn’t mean you have to be entirely offline while you travel if you don’t want to be. And once you get a look at this month’s special RTW ticket deals, you might just want to find a way to connect along the way.
