		<description><![CDATA[There is an interesting article on the Betabeat site this week looking at how AirBnB users could be upsetting their neighbours. It&#8217;s a question worth asking. People using the phenomenally popular site to rent out their own self-contained house, that&#8217;s one thing. But giving a stream of people the keys to an apartment block with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All across Bolivia you see backpackers wearing their &#8220;I survived the Death Road&#8221; T-shirts. It refers to a mountain biking trip you can take down the terrifying Yungas Road, nicknamed El Camino de la Muerte. It&#8217;s a &#8216;must-do&#8217; for many on the stereotypical circuit around the country. The trouble is lots of people – mainly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A weird things happens sometimes when you are out for a walk in Buenos Aires. All of a sudden, rain drops start to land on you from nowhere. Is it the start of a passing shower, or one of the city&#8217;s full-on, drench-your-bones storms? You look up to check out the clouds. Nada. Not a [...]]]></description>

Icelanders are opening their homes to visitors, as part of a new tourism campaign — and leading the way is the country&#8217;s president. Watch this video above.

It&#8217;s an exact copy of Rio de Janeiro&#8217;s Christ the Redeemer statue, but a few metres shorter, yet I found I was the only visitor standing below its huge, concrete feet. &#8220;I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

I actually opened around two years ago and is brought to us by the same people that launched the very successful Buen Ayre in Hackney. It was oddly exciting to discover it, sitting directly opposite the house where [...]]]></description>

With all the commemorations, tie-ins and, in some cases, blatant profiteering (fancy some 9/11 memorial wine priced at $19.11? ), I don&#8217;t think many people have failed to pick up on this. As midnight approaches, most of us have reached overload. Nonetheless, the following email sent out by [...]]]></description>

Not everyone is bowled over by it instantly, but that&#8217;s what I like about it. I&#8217;m not much into standard sightseeing and, despite two visits, I still haven&#8217;t even been [...]]]></description>
