The Travellers Bible 'Born from a desire to bring travellers together and share their knowledge, a lazy student with too much time on his hands made the first tentative steps towards creating the ultimate travel guide.'
A bit like Wikipedia, The Travellers Bible is editable by anyone. We think this is a great idea and if enough people contribute this could become a really fantastic internet travel guide.
