Being based in Portland, OR is a pretty great thing. There are lots of micro-breweries, coffee houses and local farmers markets. But a personal favorite aspect of mine is the high concentration of global travelers. It seems like everyone has some kind of crazy travel story that starts along the lines of “this one time when I was backpacking in [insert foreign country here].” Maybe Portlanders are just internationally oriented, or maybe they are avid travelers thanks to locally based Bootsnall Travel Network.
If you aren’t already acquainted with Bootsnall, now is the time. Bootsnall is basically all of your favorite guidebooks and travel agents full of insider information wrapped into one. The travel network is made with independent, adventure travelers in mind, providing a space for people to connect and get informed about where they are going. Comprising travel logues, travel forums, and destination guides, Bootsnall does a whole lot more than your average guidebook. Need to find out what Thai island has the most killer Full Moon Party? Or where to get the best pho bo in Vietnam? Or what Peruvian trail to hike when the passes to Machu Pichu are sold out? This is the place to do it.
Best of all — if budget travel is the name of your game — you can use the site to find cheap hotels and cheap air tickets, meaning you can perform every aspect of your trip research, planning and booking all in one place.
