Have you run into roadblocks, found contradicting reports of customs, or just maybe haven't been able to find the answer to some important detail concerning your travel plans? We all have. In these moments I like to turn to the experiences of my fellow travelers on travel forums. These online communities bring people of many backgrounds, demographics, and knowledge sets together in an environment that promotes collaborative thinking.
I like to spend time reading posts that are specific to the geographic area I have chosen for my travel plans. That way, I might stumble across something I wasn't even aware might be important to my own effort. It also provides me with an opportunity to share new information that I have found in my research or from my own experience.
A few different travel forums I can recommend are:
Trip Advisor
http://www.tripadvisor.com/ForumHome
Rick Steves Helpline
http://www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/helpline/
Fodors Forum
http://www.fodors.com/community/
Frommers Forum
http://www.frommers.com/community/forums-main.html
Each is pretty distinctive and can even offer interaction with locals of the country you are planning to visit.
