Hi I'm travelling to Sydney in December and looking to find some accommodation pretty central for 3/4 weeks from 16th Dec. Wondering if anyone knows any relatively cheap housing suitable for backpackers for me and potentially a few fellow travellers I'm meeting over there. Many thanks

I am doing a Mediterranean cruise beginning of September 2014 either b4 or after I want to see Austria, Germany, London & Paris. The cruise does Italy turkey Greece and Barcelona so thinking of bus tour or train to see a lot without the hassles of airports etc. thinking of starting in London and finishing near Venice to catch the ship or starting in Barcelona at the end of the cruise. We have never been to Europe we r a couple in our early 50's we r very active and live to b kept busy. Looking about 10 to 12 day bus/train tour we like the idea of a guided tour as we normally do all of our travel and excursions ourselves any suggestions appreciated thanks Debbie

me and my friend will be arriving in Sydney next february, and plan to travel and work up East Coast via greyhound.

any ideas how long we should stay in Sydney to begin with and should we stay in different hostels? how long should we stay in the first one for? a week or so?

I am in the UK and hoping to visit Sydney in March 2014 for a month. What is the best way to book reasonably priced accommodation for this amount of time? I would be wanting at most a small apartment or at very least a bedroom with ensuite for just one person. I have seen sites with rooms in houses but with shared bathrooms which does not appeal to me.
This may sound daft but do I need a visa if I am just visiting for a month on holiday?
Thanks for any advice

Hi, I am planning to go to London in August this year. This will be my first flight to London and I have never done such a long fligth before. Could you please suggest a good airline interms of good service, leg space, food and reasonable price? I prefer one stopover. I am looking at a few options i.e. Etihad, Cathay, British, Emirates. Please share your experience to help me decide which airline to fly.
Thanks heaps in advance.
