WiseNomad.com is a community of people with a passion for travel and adventure. It is designed as a well of information where backpackers can learn from one another, and help one another. Anyone can contribute the inside scoop on the places they've been, and anyone can research the places they're going. And backpackers tend to give as well as take from the well because they possess a unique perspective on humanity. They've ventured beyond their known borders, beyond their familiar surroundings, beyond life's conventional path, and they've been welcomed by strangers with unexpected generosity, and they've experienced life beyond their imagination. They've been given a gift, and so they pass it on.
Travelers can submit stories about pretty much anything related to backpacking travel: travel tips, off-the-beaten-path destination info, hostel recommendations, nightlife recommendations, suggested itineraries, recommended adventure activities, commentary on food or drink, or the overall backpacker scene somewhere, trip planning tips, a recap of an adventure, romantic interludes, political commentaries, you name it.
Thanks again to Scoop, and the Open Source movement.
