Read, click through and listen to the North

This Land – Is it an e-book? Is it an audiobook? Is it a photo expose? Or is it an interactive point-n-click adventure? Actually, it’s all of them. And it’s eye opening, engaging and above all, beautiful. Come discover with us the amazing story of documentary filmmaker Dianne Whelan’s 16 day snowmobile expedition across 2000km to Canada’s northernmost tip…

How a viral video exposed the ultimate war criminal…

Who doesn’t love vacations!?

Jetsetter.com – I’m the kind of person that spends the whole year saving money for holidays, especially when I’m going to travel abroad. In fact, I love planning vacations so much that as soon as I get back home with sand between my toes and a beautiful tanned skin, I get started on my new research. The only problem is… how can I possibly decide my following destination in such a wide world? And that’s when I thank my lucky stars for this latest Weekly Fave discovery, Jetsetter!

Emphas.is -Photojournalism. It’s something we often take for granted. But it’s what makes so many news stories that we follow so engaging. Photojournalism also allows news to extend its boundaries, because reading about runaway toddlers and sparring Republican Presidential candidates only remains interesting for so long… It brings us incredible images from around the world, like those you’re currently seeing of the conflict in Syria, or those of the scenes following the recent death of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. There is however one problem… Photojournalism about so many world issues that matter costs money to produce. And there are so many potentially groundbreaking projects to be fulfilled out there.

Trip Around the Globe is one of the most innovative, fun free flash trivia games I’ve played on the internet in a long time! If you’re into your geographically related general knowledge quizzes, you’ll definitely agree.

I-Escape is an online travel agent with a difference. It’s pretty much a travel magazine, packed full of guides to some of the World’s most interesting and inspiring destinations, on which you can then make bookings directly if you’re feeling adventurous.

I’m really a big fan of the idea behind Vayable There’s a lot of people in the World’s most popular tourist cities (London, NYC, SF etc) that need jobs. There’s a lot of tourists who want an authentic experience in those Cities. And Viable connects these people with eachother; providing tourists with interesting guided tours with “vouched for” guides listed on the site, and providing local residents with the opportunity to make some money as a tour guide!

Well folks, happy new year. In a blaze of fireworks and e-greetings, 2012 has finally arrived. And as we stride over the finishing line of a tumultuous year for the internet, All My Faves – your one stop easy guide to the Web – has decided to look past Facebook and Twitter to find 2011’s most unique and interesting sites. We selected the 10 coolest sites in categories like music, travel and education; and then handed the job of picking the absolute best in each category down to you, allowing you to vote on your favorites. And here they are. Ladies and gents, never mind Facebook, here’s our review of the Best of the Web in 2011.

Wenzani is a useful little app for anyone going on a trip and looking for recommendations for the best places to eat, drink, party, sleep and more. And it’ll help you find good restaurants in your area too.

Tripping is an online community, made by travellers for travellers. If you’re dusting your backpack down in preparation for that trip of a lifetime (on a budget), then really, Tripping is almost an essential site to visit.
