The Best Travel-Help Websites

In planning for our crazy adventure, we have used and abused the following websites. I wish I could send these people a fruit basket for creating such life-saving content:

• www.seat61.com --  The ultimate train travel guide worldwide (Schedules, rates, tips, directions) This guy is a total lifesaver.
• www.flights.google.com -- Works for flights leaving the US.
• www.couchsurfing.com   --  Get to know a culture by staying with local people!
• www.tripadvisor.com  --   Itinerary ideas, things to do and see, planning helps
• www.skyscanner.com   --   A search of the Internet's cheapest flights, but doesn't include small, regional airlines. You can also choose a country instead of a specific airport. Awesome!
• www.agoda.com --   The best prices on hostels and hotels
