We should always have priorities in life, right? The same is true for travelling….
In a five-minute exercise with my wife we made a short list of the places that we *absolutely* must go:

• Machu Picchi in Peru
• Potala Palace in Tibet
• The Great Wall of China
• The Taj Mahal in India
• Angkor in Cambodia

These might be pretty obvious (if feels like everybody has already been there…), but still, no self-respecting world traveller can go by without visiting these ones, right?
So, these are set in stone - for the rest, we welcome suggestions…

What a great idea - a cell phone that you can use almost everywhere, always pay the same and have free incoming calls (no expensive roaming charges). That’s exactly what National Geographic is proposing - they teamed up with a company called Cellular Abroad to offer this service and I think it’s a cool concept.
I was checking the product site, and they even rent them, in case you just need for a short period. I did find two negative points though:

1. Not every single country in the world is covered
2. The phone itself isn’t very sexy

Still, this is probably the best solution I’ve seen so far to always stay reachable and not spend a fortune. I could seriously consider this for the trip. Is anybody aware of alternatives of this type?
