If, during your traveling, you fancy knowing a bit more about the city/town/country/etc you're visiting (you know, other than the official tourist spots), now there are some fantastic alternatives to asking your friends who live or have been in the area (all thanks to the UGM phenomenon). And, needless to say, there are websites (like Dopplr) which let your traveling buddies know about your globetrotting plans.
Anyway - we all know lonely planet, with its extensive database of tips and tricks about a cornucopia of hotspots all around the world (brought to us by over 300 authors), and its outstanding user-generated Bluelist feature. And let's not forget the ever-growing Wikipedia.
But yesterday, I stumbled over an even more interesting site, entitled yumondo. They're calling it an "urban stylesharing community" (which already sounds cool enough), and the features go on and on. From adding new places, to reviewing them, to searching for users in that area - this social network truly will come in handy once it comes out of beta and starts covering a basic number of must-see spots all over the world. Let the wandering begin.
