There are helpful tips on finding work abroad, obtaining travel insurance, being a responsible eco-traveller and much more.

To help you find out more about destinations, the best guidebooks are recommended, together with a comprehensive selection of insightful travel reads. There’s even an alphabetical guide to diplomatic contacts for each country, complete with details of typical regional climates. This book truly is the bible for the modern backpacker.
