Surprisingly as an independent traveller, travel fairs are very useful.
Here is my post last year about my experience visiting Natas:
I used to think that travel fairs are only for people who want to buy packaged tours. Personally, I do not like packaged tours because all activities are packed too tightly and I feel that I am shepherded around. But there are times when tours make sense.

Today we will be learning how to use Foursquare to replace your guidebook.
In a previous post, I showed how to replace a travel guidebook with apps. Today, I will show you how you can replace your guidebook with Foursquare.
