		<description><![CDATA[The Independent published their list of 50 Best Travel Websites last week. At the time, I was off exploring Misiones, northern Argentina, so this is a belated catch-up. As some readers have pointed out on the Twitter, it&#8217;s frustrating that the online version isn&#8217;t accessible as a straight list and instead you have to click [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve said this before, but I really can&#8217;t emphasis this point enough: Couchsurfing.com is fantastic for language learners. And not just for hosts/guests. It can be a godsend in your home town too and it needn&#8217;t involve a single couch. I have raved about Couchsurfing&#8217;s Buenos Aires forum before (see: Top three ways [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I chose this headline to get your attention. I&#8217;m not being trivial and I don&#8217;t really think Facebook alone can stop a war. But I do have a serious point to make, if you bear with me. This Wednesday is Día de la Memoria in Argentina. It&#8217;s remembrance day to honour the 30,000 people who [...]]]></description>

So far we&#8217;re up to 40-plus comments&#160; and it seems everyone had something interesting to say. So where are travel networks going wrong? Here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Is Couchsurfing now mainstream? 1.5m users is huge number for something supposed to be &#8216;alternative&#8217;. But it depends on what circles you mix in. A couple of years ago, I found myself often having to start from scratch explaining the concept to other travellers in hostels. Couchsurfing was by no means new then, but [...]]]></description>
