A zoomable map of India which can be magnified to street level in the towns and cities. Very useful, as it utilises Google Earth but allows fast city searchesl. Pollution in India
Many visitors are concerned about the levels of air pollution in India's cities. Due to the unbridled growth in private vehicles and goods lorries, this has rocketted in recent years. This site shows real-time air quality for Delhi. Enter another city name at the top right, or use the map.

A map of places you have visited. Just tick where you have been and generate a map showing how much of the world's land you've been on. Here's the map I made showing my travels - quite modest, isn't it?
CouchSurfing
So it may not be a secret to many, but if you don't know about Couchsurfing you'll be missing out on a great (and inexpensive) travel opportunity. It's all about shared hospitality, like travel was in days of yore. Couchsurfing members now number millions, and I was impressed by the site's privacy policy.

My first footfalls on the winding road of
foreign travel came in 1976. Along the way I've passed through or halted
in many countries in Europe, Australasia and Asia, with time away
from 'home' (somewhere I have defined as different locations at various
times - currently it's Austria) presently totalling over
eight years. Here is a collection of pages on this site of interest to
travellers. I hope you'll find my information and pictures helpful and
inspiring for planning
your trip (or maybe for remembering
one you went on), as you will the selection of external links over
