Many of you have asked about a good place to start your travel blogs - not only to share your experiences but to gather information prior to your trip! Of course, we are happy to answer ANY questions you have about your experience, regarding currency, converters, culture and beyond. However, we understand and encourage you to network prior to your departure, as there is never any harm in feeling too prepared.

We love http://www.travelblog.org/ - a wonderful resource from travelers worldwide. This site usually highlights more info to and from backpackers and trekkers.

Also, http://www.indiamike.com/ is a non-commercial site that shares some fascinating tales about the cultural comedies that often occur during your Indian experience.
