We're a Website Travelers Should Rely On

So says Travel Stuff, a UK based travel blog offering advice on travel worldwide, with a focus on Europe.

Travel Stuff's article, 6 Websites Every Traveler Should Rely On, cites - you guessed it! - six travel websites that are near and dear to their hearts. We are most flattered to be one of them, especially when we look at the company we're keeping.

We're your rock. You can rely on us to help you
figure out how to get from Airport to Beach
We especially like that the Travel Stuff folks "get" what we are really about, describing IHateTaxis.com as "incredibly useful for all travelers who’d rather anticipate and plan than just leave it to chance". Hurrah! And, yes, indeed, we "help you find your way from the airport to your accommodation area without losing time or wasting money." That's all that we're about.

Yes, our database IS huge.We're glad you noticed.

But, heck, it's ok if you take a taxi. We won't hold it against you.


If you haven't seen it before, here's the story behind our name: Do we really hate taxis?

Simply Amazed!

We are simply AMAZED at the quality and quantity of travel information that our new IHateTaxis.com Travel Daily is serving up every day.

The amazement comes from the fact that we don't really do all that much! With a paper.li daily, the technology does all the work. As we understand it, guided by some broad topics we select, our tweets are mined, as well as those of who we follow, and follow us and the top relevant content is served up.
Tips for solo travel in Russia
After the daily is ready, we can go in and edit the content, deleting anything that's not suitable (maybe 10%) - and choosing which article in each topic area should be the headline. Super easy - and it's updated live as you do it! (BTW, we connect using Twitter to connect, but believe you can use Facebook, if you prefer).

It's really quite remarkable.

Just take a look at some of what's contained in the Leisure section of today's issue:
In fact, about 50 more. Yes, 60ish solid, informative, fresh, relevant travel links, on this page alone, just today!  The rest of our pages have a travel theme to them - check out the Stories section for another rich treasure trove of travel stories...

Isn't the variety stunning? The best part is that it's easy to see who sourced and authored each one, so you can follow them on Twitter, or head to the relevant blog/website, to mine more of the content that interests you.So, a publication like this isn't about us 'collecting' news; it's about providing a springboard to you, to find more of the content that you value.

And, of course, we are not the only ones with a great daily! Check the paper.li newstand, where you can search for, favourite and subscribe to as many others as you wish.You can even make your own - for free!

Now, if you aren't up to all of that, we hope you'll enjoy what we have to offer!

You can always see our latest issue here.
