BootsnAll Travel Community

Are there any websites with sample travel itineraries that are searchable by country?

This is a feature BootsnAll should have.

That's a good idea. I will pass it along to the Grand Poohbah.

Sorry, I don't like that idea at all.
To me, planning an itinerary and doing it in my own is half of the fun that travel is.

It's quite disheartening already, seeing people "doing" the same places, routinely, as prescribed by LP guide books.

Well then don't check out the itineraries then

To each their own.

The first few pages of a Lonely Planet have those...

Yes but on a RTW if you bought a lonley Planet for each country they would cost almost as much as the trip

Bump. Hey Static what is happening with this idea?

I think it could be good if you had several itineraries per country all submitted by different people. I would be happy to contribute one for the UK.

Heck, I dunno. Ask Jessie.

I am just a Mod.

While that's rather the exaggeration, if what you're looking for is suggested itineraries, the LP website has all the first chapters available online for free. Just browse through their e-book store, and download the first chapters for the countries you're interested in.

Not something I would use either, but I can see the appeal.

They don't have the European guides though.

Oh. Well that's stupid, I hadn't realised.

Not necessarily. In many South-East Asian countries you can get really cheap (4-5 US dollars) good copies of the LP guides. And in every country on the backpacker highway you'll be able to pick up cheap second-hand LP guide books from hostels and bookshops in the hostel areas.
